As a tribute to Jim Stynes, Fox Footy are showing several Melbourne matches from the 90's tomorrow, 7:30am to 7:00pm.

For those wanting to discuss something else other than the money-hungry traitor, who do you think should be in our leadership group next season? In 2011, our leadership group was Brad Green (captain), Brent Moloney, Jared Rivers and Aaron Davey (vice captains), Nathan Jones and Jack Grimes...

Was just watching a replay of the Melbourne vs Fremantle match from a few weeks ago on Foxtel IQ, and noticed what appears to be a major timekeeping error. Second quarter, Cale Morton kicks a behind. Clock stops with 4:31m to go, and when the kick in is taken, it suddenly changes to 0:58m...

How will your team use their second ruckman and substitute in 2011? I honestly don't know how Melbourne will go about it. Last year we didn't have a clear second ruckman. Paul Johnson played 8 games but has been delisted. Stef Martin and Jake Spencer only played a handful each, and didn't...

Just a few random team stats for the 2010 season. Scored 157 more points than last year (attack sits 11th overall). Conceded 314 less points than last year (defence sits 8th overall). Best percentage of all the bottom eight sides. Did not suffer a single 10-goal thrashing. 7-5 record against...

Interested to see who you think will be the key players in helping us improve in 2010. And not the same old cliches about our top draft picks, but individual players and what they need to do. Aaron Davey Coming off his best season, but Flash has only managed 20 goals in the last two seasons...

Completely random observation, probably not worth a thread, but f**k it. I was just looking through our list and the number of J's caught my eye. Jack Fitzpatrick Jack Grimes Jack Trengove Jack Watts Jake Spencer James Frawley James McDonald James Strauss Jamie Bennell Jared Rivers Joel...

This club often cops a bagging from opposition supporters. Certain stereotypes have long existed, we have been the subject of ridicule, at times it has seemed unfashionable to be a Demon supporter. Well f**k that I say, lets show some pride in this great club, starting right here. List all the...

Arguably the most exciting player in the league, alongside Cyril, Buddy and Leon. This guy is a freak, some of the things he can do on a football field just leave you with your jaw dropped. Firstly, he collects the ball from a stoppage 25m out, snaps it over his head and watches the ball sail...

Thought it would be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to player contracts. There is always speculation on who we should delist, who needs to be re-signed, and so on, yet there is no common resource for checking the status of our players contracts. So hopefully we can keep this thread...

What we can realistically expect from the team in the final 10 weeks of this season? From a team perspective, we have five winnable games left. I want to see us win at least two but hopefully three of those and finish the year off with some respect. I don't think we are capable of winning...

Slaps Overall effort by the group. Courageous, committed, and positive. Even when we had two key defenders down, and West Coast got a run on, we still fought back right to the end. Jones had his best game in a while, possibly ever. He was fantastic inside the packs and outside the packs...

UPDATED AFTER ROUND 8 11 Brad Miller 10 Matthew Bate 9 Brad Green, Ricky Petterd 8 Russell Robertson 4 Lynden Dunn, Cale Morton, Cameron Bruce, Colin Sylvia, Addam Maric Who will take out the illustrious goalkicking award this season (big shoes to fill, thanks to Miller's 26 goal...

What a massive final week we have lined up in the A-League! Premiership title and automatic spot in the Asian Champions League to be decided between Melbourne, Adelaide and Queensland. Adelaide and Melbourne have equal points, but the Reds hold a one goal advantage in goal difference. However...

Here is the make up of our current list, in order of highest draft pick to lowest. Not that draft pick numbers are the ultimate indicator of talent and performance, but it's still an interesting look at how our list has been put together. Players who were recruited from other clubs have their...

...Allen Jakovich played 300 games, and maintained his goals per game average at Melbourne of 4.3 (201 goals from 47 games - I didn't include his 7 injury riddled games at Footscray) then he would have finished up with 1290 goals, making him the third greatest goalkicker in the history of...

We've been fortunate to have a gun like David Neitz in the goalsquare for the last decade, plus Russell Robertson as well, but like most facets of the club, our forward line is currently undergoing a change. Who will be our next big goalkicker? How will our forward line structure work? What...

I was still a youngster when most of these guys were in their prime, so I don't really remember what they were like as players. Obviously I know bits and pieces and have seen them play a little bit, but it was a long time ago and I was fairly young. Maybe even give us a current day player that...

...is a wonderful thing. Darren Jolly Nick Gill Steven Armstrong Scott Thompson Stephen Powell Troy Simmonds Matthew Bishop Nathan Bassett Travis Johnstone Shane Woewodin Jeff Farmer A few handy players that could certainly help us right now, and some recently retired ones as well.

5 - Davey - 20 disposals, 2 goals, and seemed to be the only bloke willing to run. Good to see his form is returning. 2 - Miller - Took 10 marks from half forward, which shows he worked hard to present and also tried to put some physical pressure on the opposition. 2 - Sylvia - Poor first...

Just been reading the weekly Supermercado posts on demonblog.com (which is a BigFooty link, some don't think that I'm spamming). Some hilarious stuff, and even though it is all about Melbourne, any football fan will have a laugh. No, Super hasn't paid me to advertise his blog (although a cheque...

After reading the telemarketer thread, and noticing how many people hate the telemarketing practice, it got me thinking of other jobs out there that the generally community just despises. First, and probably most obvious one: Parking Inspectors Although you can't get angry at the...

Words cannot express how absolutely disgusted I am at the bunch of ****ing soft arseholes that are wearing our jumper. Until they learn to... 1) Play football at an AFL level 2) Play with a bit of heart and pride ...then they can all get ****ed. I have never been this appalled by a team...

Just got the pack today. Lovely cover on the book, haven't read through it, but should be good. Jim Stynes did the foreword, so it deserves respect. Also got a nice little MFC 150 pin, a nice pen (better than that piece of tripe the members got) and a replica 1920's membership card.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,23210752-19742,00.html Part of our continuing relationship that we are building with China, and the Chinese communities in Australia. Very innovative and clever idea, which hopefully pays off. "The Demons, headed by departing chief...

This thread can be used to discuss and notify of any positional changes that you expect (or that have already been confirmed by clubs). The point is to give opposition fans the chance to keep updated with the happenings at other clubs, to keep them better-informed. This sort of information can...

I'm looking for a picture of the MFC monogram, which I think is used on the club suits, ties, etc... and it is also on the clubs history book The Grand Old Flag by Lynda Carroll. Thanks. :thumbsu:
