No doubt you all got the members survery via email

It is important that we all fill this out, and be honest in our answers. And hopefully the club will use the data effectively and not pick and choose the statistics

I think an important question from the surbvey was 'How do you rate the MCG in terms of it being our 'home-ground'?

On a scale of 1-10, I voted 0.

I think the club need to do everything in its power to make the MCG our home again

    I won't see the survey until I get home however on the basis of what you are say if everyone answers 0 to 3 on this answer the club will consider that the members don't see the MCG as our home ground, and will perhaps look for a sweet deal to play our games at TD or more home games interstate.

    I think I would answer "10" to this question, and as you say, encourage the club to make the MCG our home.

    Perhaps I am interpreting it wrong. :wacko:

    In giving your esteemed rating did you provide suggestions to the Club on how they can improve on the "0" or do you think your cryptic answer sends a potent and informative message that's will benefit all?

    There was no section to give suggestions on how to improve that area

    Actually maybe there was. I remmber filling out a bit saying that the MFC must do everything in its power to take back the MCG as our home ground.

    it still is our prodominant home ground and we did as much as we could after the season to ensure our main aim in the new fixture, which was to get as many MCG games as we could....the more relocations, the more the MCG will become ours. that is why i am encouraging it...i feel very sorry for north fans however, they'll move out from TD and hopefully an MCG club will then switch to TD and same if the doggies go north, freeing up our beloved MCG.. melbourne aint moving in my life time!!!!

    I agree. Think I rated it about a 2 or 3. In particular it pieces me off that highlights are shown at the end of quarters of 'away' teams and MFC supporter groups are spread all over the place. The trumpeter is playing a lone hand in trying to rebuild a home environment.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
