Melbourne Football Club on Wikipedia

Featured Replies

Bored at work today which lead me to look up various things on Wikipedia including the Melbourne Football Club. The website provides quite a good history of our club.

Couldn't help but laugh at the 2007 section though:

2007 is shaping up as a poor season for the Demons, with Melbourne losing its first four matches. It has been widely tipped that Daniher's contract will not be renewed at the end of the season. The Demons have suffered numerous injuries and their fate appears to rest with highly skilled players like Nathan Carroll (the outstanding fullback of the competition), Daniel Ward (who is known for his pin-point accuracy in passing the ball by foot), perpetual Brownlow medal contender, Nathan D. Brown (one of the fastest players in the competition), the "Coleman-esque" goal-scoring sensation, Lynden Dunn, and Mark Jamar, the tap-ruckman extraordinaire (who recorded an unbelievable ONE whole hit-out in Melbourne's round 6, 2007 match against the Sydney Swans).

At least they got the Daniher contract part right. Is anyone at Demonland responsible for the section?

    Overstated Jamar's importance to the team.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
