Melbourne Football Club on Wikipedia

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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
