Can someone find a home for Allen Jakovich in this article? It's an orphan at the moment, and while I remember the guy, I don't know enough to be able to fit him in here. Ambi 09:21, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I don't think he was an important enough player to merit a mention in the text. I suppose he could be a "related article". Adam 12:39, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Some of the dates in the club's history are anachronistic. (2003 and 1997). Can somebody find the actual dates and correct it? --134.173.166.158 22:35, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
The article was subtly vandalised in July (dates and names changed etc), and no-one has spotted it until now. I have reverted to the last pre-vandalism version. This has erased some subsequent legitimate edits, but that can't be helped. The vandal User:143.238.221.167 has also vandalised other AFL club articles. I don't know if these have been fixed. Why are the member numbers and the approximate for 2005 different?

I've removed the image of the jumpers because both of them have been changed for the 2008 season. The home one has a 150 years logo added below the red yoke, and the clash has been changed completely. Can anyone find an image, or separate images, of the 2008 uniforms?

Image:Melbourne80s.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
One of you redlegs should go add a section on the tune of the club song and whatnot, keeping in line with the other pages...or at least two of the other pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Comradeash (talk • contribs) 15:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
The demons have a special logo for their 150 year celebrations. This should be uploaded into this article. --Rulesfan 01:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone else think that the "Prominent fans" section is a little long? Perhaps a rethink of how prominent someone should be in order to make the list could be in order, and not simply listing everyone who has ever mentioned they support the Dees and who has a wikipedia page of their own.... Jason A. Recliner (talk) 05:03, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I think remove it all together or have only 10-12 names, there already is an article about prominent fans of all the clubs on here I think. - JM
Whether or not someone individually believes that MFC was founded in 1859, the club itself recognises that it was founded in 1858. Therefore, I think that the year 1858 should be used as the actual founding year, unless a proper citation can be produced. Morstar (talk) 08:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
RossRSmith (talk) 09:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I don't want to argue about when the club was actually formed and whatever. I want to mention that the text in the article introduction says "In 2008 the club celebrated the 150th anniversary of the first meeting of its founding members". There is proof that this meeting occured in August 1858. Therefore, even if the club was founded in 1859, that is not relevant to the context. Morstar (talk) 13:45, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Need the early 90's demons shield logo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dee533 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
I understand the argument between whether the club was established/founded in 1858 or 1859, however, considering there was a court case that ruled in favour of the club being established/founded in 1858 (in STOP DELETING NEW LOGO! section) then the article should represent that. I would say a legal case outcome would take precedence over an opinion. Flickerd (talk) 14:55, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
the link for "bob Corbett" links to a canadian politician that the real bob corbett.
I do not know how to fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.194.83 (talk) 09:14, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Melbourne released a new logo today, making the logo currently on the page obselete. Could someone who knows something about free images (or whatever they are) please get an image of the new logo and put in on the page? Jenks24 (talk) 12:15, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
It's legit, stop deleting it! The new Melbourne logo has been deleted like three times in a row now! Please, stop deleting it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bombrars (talk • contribs) 12:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
The logo is not legit ! It has not yet been approved by the trademark authorities. All legal processes it has to go through will not be completed for some months yet. RossRSmith (talk) 12:46, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Yes it is! It is on the AFL site and the Melbourne site, look for yourself! http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx134/Jay4P/wdd.jpg?t=1290062338 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bombrars (talk • contribs) 06:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay, this has gone on long enough! There is no denying that it is their official logo, it is on their website, it is on their guernsey, it is behind the coach during post-game conferences, this is their logo, stop deleting it! This article is not reliable if it has an outdated logo on it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bombrars (talk • contribs) 17:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
It is pretty funny this still hasn't been changed, it's been their logo for over a year now, it's on the Australian national trademark website too. --58.175.43.116 (talk) 09:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Why exactly were you against the logo, and what were you trying to achieve by making it a court case? (Bombrars (talk) 07:12, 1 April 2012 (UTC))
An image used in this article, File:Melbourne FC Logo.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

The article doesn't mention that it is now the football section of the MCC. Is this a matter of debate? Hack (talk) 05:24, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
