Thats a quality pick up.

Well done MFC?

Agree and not bad for a club that finished 2nd last in 19. To obtain New Era and keep the others is a great thing for the club.

I'd really like to see the Demons be innovative with New Era and come out with some new designs as opposed to the traditional emblems. 

In the US they have so many great hat designs for the different sporting teams and I think we can be a trend setter in Oz.

Not Quite Right and The Reject Shop might be suitable.

Yes agree the Partnership Team is doing a great job given the on field performances and the negative social media some of our so called supporters post last season.

Are they? I think they have been a big disappointment and underachiever. Very little value added for sponsors or clever leveraging of club assets. Stability a massive issue too.

This is one area the club could greatly improve on and desperately needs to.

Worrying about over-commercialising our assets is idiocy. Not sure what they think we’re protecting; all we’re doing is stopping ourselves from being successful off-field.

So you feel that there are a number of companies out there that are willing to part with 6 figures or higher to a club that finished seconded bottom? and what assets do you see that the club is holding back on? It looks easy when you are sitting behind a keyboard.

Mate, you'd be surprised what I'm privy to. The sad fact is that we're severely underperforming off-field, culture has taken a downward turn under Pert, and the excuses of under-resourcing due to budget-cutting won't wash as the same issues were present last year.

The place needs more good people and operators, and to stop making amateurish decisions.

It is my strong opinion that it is fact. However an intangible like culture can never be proven as fact. But certain events and attitudes are fact.

Maybe a difficult concept for some?

Either way, you should be concerned about the direction of our club.

I'm not saying you're wrong mate, just trying to clarify.

FWIW I do have concerns about certain things in non-playing/coaching departments, hence why I was pushing for more information.

Cheers.

I’m not going to state it outright. More scrutiny is required though.

I wasn't trying to bait you. You made a statement which now appears to be only an opinion of yours.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
