That's right. Melbourne Football Club did not exist in 1858 as evidence exists proving it was formed on Saturday 14 May 1859. sources include The Herald [Monday] 16 May 1859: "A preliminary meeting of gentlemen interested in the game was subsequently held at the Parade Hotel, with the object of forming a Football Club. A list of fifty-one members was submitted, and from amongst them the following were selected as a committee to draw up rules, etc.: - Messrs. Wills, Hammersley, Bruce, Smith, and Wray. Mr Sewell was appointed treasurer; and Mr J B Thompson, secretary of the club." and The Argus [Monday] 16 May 1859 "At the same meeting, a secretary, treasurer, and committee of five were appointed to conduct the affairs of the club, in which about 60 gentlemen have already enrolled themselves." Given that date of foundation, forum members might reasonably expect that the first annual meeting would have been held about a year later. The Argus [Friday] 27 April 1860 "The Melbourne Football Club holds its first annual meeting this day in the MCC pavilion, when a numerous attendance is expected." The Argus [saturday] 28 April 1860 "A general meeting of the Melbourne Football Club was held yesterday, at the Pavilion, on the Melbourne Cricket-ground. Mr Hammersley occupied the chair. On the motion of Mr J B Thompson, seconded by Mr Smith, the offices of treasurer and secretary were combined in the person of Mr Sydney Woolley. The committee for the year consists of Messrs Bruce, Hammersley, Morrison, Smith, Thompson, and Wills."
