Coming off an 11th place finish in 1966, their worst under Norm Smith, the coach was appointed for another season. He boldly said he wouldn't be surprised to see the Demons back into the four, but while they were much improved his side still finished well short of finals. Hassa Mann was reappointed as captain, but after two seasons Bryan Kenneally lost the vice-captaincy, replaced by Tassie Johnson.

For the first time a Little League competition was played, sponsored by the State Savings Bank. Each team had a squad of players which appeared at half time and the matches were umpired by the Emergency Umpire of the main match. Melbourne won the inaugural competition.

The VFL was involved in a wrangle with country leagues about recruiting zones and a player draft was suggested as a possible alternative. The idea was rejected by an overwhelming majority of clubs including Melbourne.

In the same year that his brother Len passed away after a series of heart attacks, Norm Smith missed the second half of the Round 15 match against Carlton, and another match the week after with his own heart issues. John Beckwith took over as coach both times and was appointed to the senior job when Smith retired at the end of the year.

The Under 19s failed to win a match for the season.

Terry Leahy and Graeme Jacobs were sacked by the club after misbehaviour on the side's trip to Surfer's Paradise.

Melbourne's VFL delegates were Arthur King and Tom Trumble.
