did anyone else notice in the little demon booklet we got on page 92 it has all the games round by round. Up the top it says 2007 and the game on sunday starts at 2.10. Seriously we can't even get a magazine right.

Are you speaking of the Almanac? Such a poor effort. Little "blues" everywhere and I thought an almanac was like a diary with phases of the moon and the like in it, aimed at people on the land. I also didn't like the pre-historical quotes in the player profiles.

Yep...I did notice that. But what annoyed me more was the way it was addressed. I am the only Melbourne member in the house and mine book/stickers were addressed To The '''' Household....now that is slack !!!! along with 2 obvious mistakes. So I put it down in disgust !!!! :angry: :angry:

I didn't noticed it first hand, but now that I look it yet, yeah, there are a few mistakes.

condemned - I got mine today, along with a whole bunch of nice stickers. I'm starting to like the "Melbournefc" and new logo more and more. It's so much more "Melbourne" then just a demon head.

I also got mine today, along with my tie. And I am going to say that I was impressed. The stickers were good and the almanac is fairly good too (apart from small editing errors).

But the tie is great, working in an office environment, I have to wear one every day, and this is not one of those tacky untasteful ones. A good effort by the club IMO

Don't care about the almanac much, but the stickers are awesome!

Every year I complain about the crap quality and general ugliness of the stickers, but this year they are definitely worth the wait. 2 of the 4 stickers are now proudly displayed on my car :D

H.B.K, as we don't pick up our gifts until Round 1 (you are obviously a country/ interstate member), can you tell me whether the club logo on the tie is embroidered or printed?

Jaded, I received my tie yesterday (Interstate member). The club logo is PRINTED onto the tie. Enjoy your season. I always find time to read your thoughtful and SENSIBLE comments.

I'd hate to see your reaction over something major.

Gee, we are really plumbing the depths of carping when we take a small printing error as another opportunity for a potshot at this great club.

mine's edges were a little too sharp and i dropped it because it was a little bit heavy and then it nearly hit my foot. lucky it missed hey

An almanac is an "annual reference book composed of various lists, tables, and often brief articles relating to a particular field" ... in this case Melbournefc. Perfectly apt description of the content, and I like the concept. What would you prefer ... something plain like "handbook"?

The tie is great. Got it on Monday and already worn it to work. Do I put it away to wear after a win, or when ever I feel like showing the colours?

In the almanac, Cale Morton was either missing either height or weight, and there was a couple of other errors I noticed. In general, very good, and the stickers are better than previous years.

With respect Maurie, an almanac ties those lists, tables and info to the various days, weeks and months of the year. Even "handbook' would be glorifying the publication, it simply lacks utility.'"Yearbooklet" would just about cover it.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
