As a die hard Demon family we are all looking forward to participating in some special events to mark the MFC reaching its 150th year milestone.

I only hope that we are able to join into whatever the MFC has planned!!

MFC corporate email received last night included the following invitation to a Gala Dinner in June -

MELBOURNEfc 150 Heroes Dinner

Join us for this Gala Dinner, where we will announce the Club's 150 greatest players of all time. The opportunity for every guest to mingle with the Club greats throughout the evening.

Date: Saturday 7th June 2008

Venue: Palladium at Crown, Melbourne

Time: 7.00pm

Inclusions: Three-course dining, first class entertainment & 150th anniversary commemorative gift for each guest

Cost: $500.00 per person

Would be wonderful to be part of such a night to honour the MFC's best 150 players of all time.

But at $500 a head how many of us true red & blue Demons will be able to participate?? Very few I doubt.

I hope the whole focus of the 150th plans are not targeting the mulit millionaires and corporates only.

NOTE: We are happy to wait and keen to see what the MFC program is for the year but would like to know soon so are assured. :huh:

    That is a lot of money. It's clear that the club is catering for a certain group of people.

    its a lot of money of which i cant afford. Struggeling enough with rent and petrol that that sort of $ is ridiculous and a expenditures not worthwhile. On the other hand, melb are a struggeling team finantually so if they can charge that much and fill up the room then im all for it

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
