The 2014 Melbourne Football Club season was the club's 115th year in the VFL/AFL since it began in 1897. On the back of three seasons stemming back to 2011, Melbourne underwent changes to its football department in 2013. The most significant of these changes included the appointment of 2005 premiership coach Paul Roos for two seasons (with an option of a third season). It also saw the temporary appointment of former CEO, Peter Jackson, as Melbourne's new CEO for two seasons and the appointment of former Bernie Naylor Medalist Glen Bartlett as president.

In addition Melbourne hosted the at Etihad Stadium in round 19 as hosted Port Adelaide at the MCG later that day instead. Despite the financially challenging fixture, Melbourne hosted a handful of blockbuster games, which included Paul Roos coaching against his old side in round 5 for the first time. Melbourne continued to play its annual Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood in round 12 (despite a record low crowd of 50,853 in 2013). Melbourne also hosted for the first time since Round 11, 2009 in round 17. ==2014 list changes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 Melbourne Football Club season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
