The MFC Annual General Meeting was held last night... a big thanks to those members who attended.

Our 2025 committee was appointed and will be led by our new president, Rachael Barlow. Rachael was MFC vice president in 2024, has a great background in community sport and will be a huge asset to the club in her new role. Congratulations and thanks to Rachael for taking on this role as the club moves into our centenary year in 2025.

After five years as president, Scott Davidson has stepped aside to hand the baton on to Rachael. While being the head of a community club is never easy, it’s fair to say that in his time as president, Scott has had more curveballs to deal with than most. His five-year term included a season lost to COVID, another season heavily impacted by COVID, the rebuild of our facilities at Mulgrave Reserve - which saw us temporarily relocate for another entire season - and plenty more.

It was a difficult period that could very well fracture a club. Due in no small part to Scott’s leadership and stewardship, Mulgrave not only survived but thrived over the past five years. His work in transforming and progressing the club over this period, despite many obstacles, sees MFC in a very strong position both off and on the field.

Please join us in thanking Scott for his service as president - we are all indebted to him for his efforts.

Thankfully for us Scott is not going anywhere and will remain on the committee, working closely with our sponsors and partners in 2025.

A big welcome and thanks to Steve Grenda, Nat Shaw and Ash Tilyard, who have joined the committee for the first time. It’s awesome to have you all on board.

We still have a couple of committee roles that we need to fill for 2025... so if you’re passionate about Mulgrave and keen to work in a great team, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at mulgrave@efnl.org.au.

The 2024 season is done and in the history books, so our attention turns to 2025... a momentous year for the club as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of our first year of footy.

Today we’re unveiling this anniversary logo, which will be at the forefront of the club’s branding for the next 12 months.

We’re extremely fortunate to have past player Sam Kenny as part of the Mulgrave family... Sam is a very talented designer who donates a heap of time and professional work to the club, and once again he’s absolutely nailed it with this logo.

We didn’t want anything radical - It had to be unmistakably Mulgrave - so the colours remain as such, and the main typeface is familiar from our existing logo.

The iconic lion is also featured.. we’ve been wearing that for nearly 40 years now.

You’ll also recognise the red vee on white, a nod to a very successful period in our history. From the 1940s to the 1960s we wore the South Melbourne-style red and white strip. We won a number of flags in the 50s in this jumper, making it a key part of our history.

This logo and other designs will feature on a heap of 100-year edition merchandise over the next 12 months, so keep your eye out for that.

It’s a big 12 months ahead for Mulgrave... If you’ve been part of the journey in any way at all, make sure we have your contact details so we can keep you up to date on everything that’s happening. If you haven’t already, ensure you’re on our mailing list - click here to sign up.
