That was pure and simple, teary eyed, beautiful!  Thank you MFC, Kozzi, Wheels and Tracc. Teary eyed beautiful!  I’m so proud to be a lifetime Member of our great Club!  

Is that a category of membership which I don't think I've previously known about or are you just referring to your personal lifetime support for the club? If it's the former, it's something I should look into.

    Yes, sorry LD-vC, I should have been more clear.  I was referring to my personal lifelong support for our Club, which dates from the early 1950s.

    Seriously loved that! I wish that went for an hour.

    Matthew Whelan doesn't get enough credit for his impact at the footy club as a player  mentor to Aaron Davey in his playing days to then having a significant role off field to our indigenous players like Koz.

     

    Agree, Matt Whelan has been a really important part of the footy clubs growth, nice to see him in the video

    Great stuff. Just one thing missing for the moment. Why hasn't our Board officially supported a First Nations Voice to Parliament? Essendon has. We are at the "Stretch" stage of our Reconciliation Action Plan. Time to Stretch and make that call! What are we waiting for? Let's keep leading in this space.

    Read the room Hawk. This is not the time or the place for a political comment. You never seem to learn.

    I think that's part of the problem. The statement from the heart- Truth, Voice, Treaty and the upcoming referendum should not be about politics.
    I reckon this is about our nation's values into the future and how we walk forward with our first nation's people together as a nation.
    Politics just get's in the way and muddies the water.

    BTW, Nev Jetta is on AFL360 tonight 💖

    What you've all said re the video, its participants, its messages, and our club.

    And what a great place Kozzie comes from, both physically and emotionally.

    Just watched it. Brilliant.

    And was thinking exactly that about wheels. I loved him as player, but i think his off-field contribution will be hid real legacy at the club.

    Just one example is that it is highly likely wheels was major factor in Kozzie's decision to stay with the club.

    But the biggest impact is on the strengthening cultural awareness, cultural capability at cultural safety at the MFC. 

    For some perspective on how far we've come, i went to the 2017 AGM and was amazed there was no acknowledgment of country, let alone welcome to country.

    I wrote to then President Bartlett, and to his and the club's credit they agreed it was an oversight and committed to ensuring the oversight was not repeated. And again, to their credit, it hasn't.

    That's just 6 years ago.

    We now have a Reconciliation Action Plan, the indigenous jumpers and the brilliant Narrm initiative (i amazed how impactful that has been).

    And most importantly of all, it would appear from comments from koz and maysie, an environment where Aboriginal and Tores Strait Island players feel safe, and their culture respected. 

    Wheels has been at the heart of all of that.

    Thankful to Kozzy and his family for allowing this to be filmed and shared with all of us, very generous.

    This was really thoughtfully put together. We've always got more to learn and there's so much opportunity through our connection with Narrm. I hope we can be better and better in this space.

    (On a side note, how about the kid greeting Trac, "Love your cooking TikToks"!)

    Sorry NC - it's exactly the right time. Let's build on this fabulous trip. Do we believe in our RAP plan or not?

    And the greatest hip and shoulder ever laid in AFL…. Would get a 700 week suspension for it these days.

    Loved how he called out to the Richmond bench when Nathan Brown broke his leg. A sign of the man and that injury was gut wrenching awful.

    Really nice interview with Eddie Betts and Nev Jetta last night.
    Nev has worked with Eddie to launch the Eddie Betts foundation - https://eddiebetts.foundation/

    Hope Nev ends up back with us at some point in the future. Love the bloke.

    For those in Perth (D'landers feel free to tag WA members in case they're interested), he's doing a fundraiser night / Q&A with his cousin Lewis Jetta for a junior footy club soon. Buggered if I could find any details online. 
    Would be interesting to hear their stories about finding their way into the AFL.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
