Not if you're a provisional member who supports one of bigger clubs. I have quite a few friends in this position who are questioning whether to renew.

Wouldn't matter much to the MCC since there is a 25 year long waiting list of people who will willingly take their place.

    I reckon with the feasibility out of the way and stakeholder consultation that we will see the Minister push this through quickly. I'm sure that the State Government are aware of how drawn out the process has been, the state of our facilities (the worst of all Victorian teams) and the impact on the club throughout this time.

    I'm not sure the minister gives a rats [censored] about Melbourne any source?

    She was told not to attend the announcement, though this was prior to her departure so infer from that what you will. It’s well documented that Roffey had not been a part of the negotiations for some time. 

    That is simply not plausible. It makes sense that she would not attend the announcement now that she is no longer on the Board, although given how recent her departure was it is equally possible that she would be welcome for appearances' sake.

    But to suggest she was told not to attend while she remained president of the club, and was seemingly to remain so for the indefinite future defies logic.

    The Whateley interview brought her undone, but prior to that she was evidently manoeuvring to add Steve Smith to the board with a view to him succeeding her as president. Had the interview not taken place she would still be president. To announce a major club initiative with the president absent is crazy and as I said above, your post beggars belief.

    Would be fantastic to train near the umpires.

    The personal relationships we could build with them wouldn't go astray.

    Plus we would have a leg up to see first hand what umpires are practising to know all rule change updates and get ahead of the “rule of the week”

    Good. They are welcome to bugger off and to stop diluting the Melbourne factor. Ring-ins and JC Latelys should be subordinate to Dees fans.

    It still not clear why the mcc would be investing in the Caulfield redevelopment. What benefit are they getting? 

    Maybe the new Caufied facilities will house other MCC sports as well as footy?

    So it won't be called the Kate Roffey Centre?

    How about Perts 2-in-1 Centre?

    agreed

    doing that interview was so unnecessary and nothing good ultimately came from it

    MFC have been promised that there will be an ex-Pert barrista working in the KRoffey Shop.

    The Taylor-made menu will feature Spit On The Lamb served with Greens.

    Nope community sporting groups and other community activities.

    What's wrong with page 182, the current one?

    If the announcement is tomorrow, page 189 would be more appropriate.

    I’d say it’s more because MCC members have reciprocal membership to the VRC and MRC

    I suspect where the MCC has been included is an error and the MFC should replace it. Makes more sense and is quite possible in advice or posting this occurred. 

    Willing to be corrected and no knowledge in this matter.

    Unfortunately not as I have no idea, but I am certainly looking forward to it being announced and made official.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
