Yes it is a curious state of affairs samcantstandya and very unusual to boycott a Premium AFL Event, nothing coming from the club.

Perhaps we are [censored]’d off because of the Brayshaw compensation and the father/son tweaks that favour the AFL’s great northern hope teams!

Perhaps the invite got lost in the post.

Perhaps we weren't sent one.

Completely embarrassing…an absolute grub who never faced the scrutiny the deserved…the Collingwood PR machine at it again…it’s incredible…the more this continues, the less I like the sport of Australian Rules Football…I can’t believe I’ve finally reached that point 

 

So if this is indeed to make a stand. Will anybody actually notice? And if they do will the media machine spin for us or against. 
 

What can we realistically do in this situation to influence? We are not a powerhouse club. Collingwood have the power of the press, supporters , radio,  commercial appeal. I don’t think we have any of that.

CORRECT, we are irrelevant

I started watching the stream on Kayo and I now think that the club made a very good choice not to attend. Serious risk of death by boredom and a thousand cuts of cliches.

Utterly soporific.

Agree on the grub Swan getting his love in when he he a terrible human on many levels. But MFC not having a representative at the hall of fame event is a bad look and poor form IMHO

If they want to make a statement without copping a fine, it’s within their right. But I don’t think anyone will care. 

“Swan is a terrible human, they’ve a thug who put one of our players out of the game with brain damage and then made it seem like the victim’s fault and are penalising us for it so thanks no thanks we’re not AFL flunkies”

So arguably the greatest player ever to have played the game will never be inducted due to some off field issues yet there's an exception for filth players with similar past discretions?

If that is the case then get ready for DeGoey to be fast tracked in record time by HQ & their marketing team.

INCORRECT, we are the oldest professional football club in the world.

168 years old.

And we'll be around for another 168 years - long after we are all forgotten.

A proud club, with a proud history, with players who have given their all, even in the many barren years. 

A proud club that deserves respect- least of all from supposed supporters.

 I've had it up to here with posters on this forum taking every opportunity to slag off the mighty dees.

Who gives  fat rats clacker about this.. Really?

I guess the main point of interest is to see that Ricky Nixon still has some pull at 'AFL House'.

When you know where the bodies are buried, who cares how 'disgraced' you are?

Maybe Covid is going through the club. Maybe that could explain our poor performances. Maybe. Just maybe. 

Possibly. It could also be the reason no one is representing the MFC at the Hall of Fame event. Who knows. But that would deprive many on here of yet another opportunity to disparage our club so let’s ignore the possibility.

Is Covid still a thing? I thought it ended in 2022.

 

A not too subtle message to the AFL that the appointment of Gillon to head up Tabcorp has not gone unnoticed. Dees!

In addition to being the oldest professional football club...

We codified the laws of the game, we were a foundation vfa and vfl club, we lost players in both world wars, we originated the father son rule, we were first to recruit irish players and we established the womens game and were a foundation aflw club. Also, we are the only team to have won a mens afl premiership and women's premiership with all 18 team competing.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
