Here, this shows what our list could look like come 3 years time.  And so how we should look at using our players,  to ready them for this time,  which I think will be our best time to strike.

The way global warming is melting the  ice caps Melbourne City might be underwater Casey will be a Harbour City

And Rosebud and Sorrento might just be all washed away, to the open Bass Straight.  Allowing the full current 6 foot tidal flow which occurs outside the Heads, (+ any sea rise from now on) in & out of the Bay.  Currently the bay only ever half fills and half empties. A 3 foot tidal difference, high to low.

Everything would then change around Melbourne, and all facilities would want to be more than 3Mtrs above current high tide marks.

Nice right and left hand breaks off Greens Point.

We might be heading into another ice age by the time the Demons get a facility in the MCG precinct.

Yep last one finished 12000 years ago when  you could have walked to Tassie

A mere blink in geological time.

Thanks and Great job on this FMF. Very interesting and says if things go OK the group in their prime of 27/28/29 will be/could be formidable maybe?

You must have had a big laugh then.

I will give one thing to your average Melbourne supporter.  Though still quite gullible (Szondy Man United; Bartlett's 40 year plan; Barassi's 5 year plan; Scully over-training), and quite willing to feast on regurgitation from the club, the average MFC supporter has definitely made progress on their collective senses-of-humour.

 

For a private school elite cullture (Hello Skevs), we really are just emerging from the woods from a perspective of sorting out the poo from the clay, in relation to club announcements, training services announcements, sports science announcements, and anything to do with government policy on trickle down economics and climate change.  However, our ability to jest is on an upward trend; and the trend is your friend, according to our next coach.

Bit of a bump.

Still some question marks on Melbourne Home Base.

But they've ticked off 1 AFL Premiership which will hopefully boost #2 #3 and #4


Good bump.

As there is still 2 years to go on that plan, every chance we will meet or better every one of them!

Only ambition 1. counts. The rest will follow if we get it right. And we have..

 

AFL men's Premiership tick! 😁 Although we need to win another one at the MCG too!

I also think we are a very good chance of winning an AFLW Premiership having recruited Tayla Harris to the Demons. I think the women will be inspired to want to win a Flag now that the men have.

However, the main priority needs to get this Home Base for the Melbourne Football Club built on top of Car Park F in the Olympic Park precinct next to Gosch's Paddock.

Once, we have our Home Base built for the Melbourne Football Club I will be a lot more confident about the future.

I think I get what you are trying to say and I agree that this outcome is the one that we all actually care about. But actually 1 would be a result of measurable improvements to 2,3,4 and 5. For instance our recent season result has been heavily influenced by getting the right players and coaches to the club (3) and training out at Casey which has a better sized ground for working on our defensive structures (5)

We have a gun womens team as well. I reckon we can do better than 1 AFLW premiership.

If Tayla Harris can settle in and kick the goals we're a great shout for the flag

I’d love some detail on how the club plans to achieve these lofty targets.

At the moment I have no confidence in them getting even close, based on what I know they think will get them there.

Just more fluff sadly.

Tell us why you despise the CEO Mach….

We had the list but not the Vision or Belief, management provided the Vision, the coaches and players had to build the belief, the players drove the belief and all of a sudden our club achieve the first of our Aims, Goals and Targets. If we can keep this group together we could achieve them all. 💙❤️

Keen for your input @Mach5how is the club going against this plan, especially with someone so out of there depth as CEO.


You tell me Sherlock.

 

Obviously can't complain regarding our premierships (both AFL and AFLW), but the fact that we haven't started construction let alone have a set location for a home base remains a huge disappointment.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
