    Never used to missed an AGM in the bad old days but at this time of year it’s a tough ask to turn up to a meeting at the G after a hard day’s work. Especially when Garry Lyon’s on tv and taking wickets.

      No doubt it will get it's own thread, but this is great acknowledement of a dedicated loyal servant of the club and his comunity.  Very glad the club has extended this honour to Nev.

    100% Rodney.  Neville is not only a great footballer and a great person, but he is an outstanding ambassador for our Club, the game and his people.

    ...ok, or the renaming of an existing one.

    How about renaming the tread to  "The Neville Jetta is a total bloody legend of the MFC adoration thread"?

    Has Peter Jackson been made a Life Member previously? If not, I hope it is offered to him sooner rather than later. I think we are all indebted to him. 

    He was there last night LDC.

    I felt there was a definitive club strategy led by Jackson to avoid using "the Dee's" in his speeches or media engagements. It was heavily focused on using "Melbourne" when referring to the club, playing group and even us as members and supporters. I'm sure it was with the intent of re-connecting the club to the city by name and therefore grow our membership and branding that way.

    Pert however has been the "Dee's" this-and-that since his arrival.

    For formal events and other high profile media, I would like Pert to follow PJ's lead and refer to us as the "Melbourne Football Club."

    We are MELBOURNE...  is as bad as "We are Carlton, and F#%^^ the rest.

     

    It has the same thin division line between arrogance and failure...  as the Blues suffered from under Elliot...  eventually sent them into a tail-spin they have not yet recovered from.

     

    The danger is we isolate ourselves as blue blooded toffs...   distancing ourselves from the every day footy supporter out in the burbs.  Norm Smith would be churning in his grave, with any arrogance about the club.

    Pert spoke really well. He is seeking advice and ideas from “Melbourne” people before he stamps his operational style into the job. 

    We will once again be a Big Club” where we always should have stayed. I have no doubt. 

    “Get the kids on board before they turn 9...”

    100,000 members within 5-10 years can be achieved with winning footy, played the right way

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
