It's called Melbourne Sports Books and I think its close to the intersection of Flinders and Exhibition Streets. I doubt that they'll have the two MFC histories wiz mentioned although they probably have Lynda Carroll's later book.

I have a copy of the 1958 book that my parents gave me years ago. It is a good read taken at a time when the CLub was powerful and successful. An interesting perspective.

The 1983 book is pretty ordinary read with some focus on players since 1958 who do not deserve the amount of book space devoted to them. Its also replete with the awful red and royal blue guernsey photos. Lynda Carroll's book on the 140 years is better.

I am looking forward to the 150 years book.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
