I’m a little on the late side coming to the party here but it’s my pleasure to report that one of the club’s supporter groups, the Devil's Advocates are making a comeback after a few years in recess with a major function - a dinner to be held on 25 March 2026 in the legal precinct of the CBD.  

The group consists of people from the legal fraternity including solicitors, barristers, judges, paralegals, court and legal office staff, law graduates and law students and retired lawyers like me. I’m not sure about this but the group might include past guests of His Majesty (upon application only😃).

Special guests at the dinner will be Steven King, Steven Smith and Paul Guerra.  The cost of the night is $190 per head and includes a two course meal and drink.  If you are interested, you should contact Ralph Glezer by email at [email protected]

As per the invitation below and there are limited spaces still available, the RSVP date is today but an extension of time has been given until all sold out. So get in fast.

The Devil’s Advocates have the full approval of the Melbourne Football Club.

Does a discount apply if the proposed attendee has appeared before His Honour Judge Roger Bullingham at the Old Bailey or repaired for a glass of plonk at Pomeroy's Wine Bar?

5 years off your next sentence

Looking forward to a facilities update from tonight @Whispering_Jack 😅

A very entertaining and informative evening with the three main speakers providing some great insight into the working of the club and the different approach to the future both on and off the field with new President Steven Smith, new CEO Paul Guerra and new coach Steven King who explained the changes to culture implemented over the summer and to the way in which the club is being run off the field and the way the game is being played on it. The style will be “ageless”, the aim is for a the players to perform with a dynamic ability to defend & attack in formation. Don’t expect this all to translate into something dramatic overnight but there are some early signs. Great to hear that Max and TMac will both play their 250th games on Sunday at the G. For those expecting an announcement on Caulfield Racecourse, there was nothing new to announce.

I was impressed by all three of the faces of the club at its very top. We’re in good hands.

Of course I find out about this event the day after it happens! Nevermind I only got to Melbourne late last night 😂 Ah well... at least it's looking like I'll be able to attend Sunday's game!
