Was driving past junction oval tonight and saw Hamish Blake (aka the Hamish and Andy Show if anyone doesn't know and is a social delinquint) filming a sketch with Jim Stynes, Matthew Bate, Clint Bartram and Jared Rivers. He was decked out in Melbourne gear and at first actually mistaked him for Cale Morton.

You saw all that while you were driving past? Sure you didnt park the car, get out and take all that in?

Yes, Mr.G.Lyon presented him a guernsey last night on the Footy Show, Hamish signed as a member yesterday. And worked out in the gym yesterday at the Junction. Not sure about the Number 1 Ticket Holder just yet. Maybe next year?

Good to see people still signing up. Around 28,800 signed up. Hopefully break the 29,000 barrier for the first time with a couple of days to go.

It was good, i mean he showed that he doesn't really know much about the club (calling Bailey "bisket"!).

I thought maybe Biscuit was actually his nickname?

And when they were asking him about the club I reckon he did well! Wasn't it just part of his schtick? Acting dumb? He didn't get any questions wrong....

I always disliked him before, but even just coming on and answering a few questions they showed better comic timing, wit and originality than Sam, Trev and the others have shown the whole year combined.

I don't listen to much of his radio stuff (I can't stand commercial radio and their music), but Hamish Blake would have to be one of the funniest and wittiest personalities around.

Look up his Thank God You're Here stuff on YouTube, brilliant.

The segment was humorous enough, and as someone has already said 'any publicity is good publicity'.

I think he knew more about the club than he did, and was 'playing dumb'.

For those that didnt see it, they showed a clip of him running into the tackle bags (where he did indeed look like a dead-ringer form Morton), jumper over the ruck bags which Chairman Jim was wearing to take a hanger, not being able to complete push-ups in the change rooms and finally trying to peel Garry Lyons name off the #3 locker, much to hoots of laughter from Clint Bartam. He was then presented with a guernsey from Garry in the studio. A good segment overall for us..

As for being our potential #1 ticket holder? Anything is better than the corrupt and morally bankrupt Lord Mayor that currently holds that honour.

Oh, and the 3AW host that people speak of is Nick MCallum, who also hosts all of our post-game functions and does a pretty good job I think.

You can see the Hamish and Andy section HERE

Thanks Mickrocks1, I just had to have another laugh. It was good publicity for the club and its supporters. Had a call from Big Jim this morning re membership and MFC Raffle. They're on the front foot which is good to see!

Hamish is a classic. He's work on "Thank God your here!" is first class comedy.

i think hamish should have gone on before the game instead of mick malloy

What happened to that guy? He used to be hysterical! Now he trots out the same three gags, and it' gotten to the point where when he somehow wrestles the focus off one of the other panel members, you cringe just as he gets to the punchline. Either he's just not funny and people laugh politely, or they kind of make a mass groan because he's made a joke in poor taste.

Bring back Heliar, or Rove... or ANYONE.

we are about 250 people off 29,000 which is a freaking good effort,

This is absolutely unbelievable considering the year we are having. If we put in a good effort against the lions, I reckon we'll finish the year over 29,000.

I'm still shaking my head in amazement.

Good stuff. Love Hamish (and to a lesser extent Andy).

Bloody good effort getting that many members in what is a pathetic year. Just goes to show there are supporters out there handing over their money and doing their part. Now hopefully the team can repay us in the future for what we've had to put up with recently :P

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
