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 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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
