Martin Flanagan is doing a great job again as the Age journalist embedded inside the Melbourne Football Club - Devil in the Dee-tale.

However ... he did commit one clanger:

The woman to my left, who was hit in the hand by another football, was even older. I was too gentlemanly to ask her age, but I can report she hasn't forgiven Ron Barassi for leaving the Dees in 1967. She was my principal companion for the match.

Please bone up on your MFC history mate!

Either that or don't sit next to to people suffering from memory loss and believe what they're telling you is true. By 1967 our # 1 member was already in his third year as captain coach of Carlton.

    Shhhhh last time we picked up on a mistake the majority were up in arms over it, and I think a football did smack a lady in the face pre game.

    Get off Flanagan's back. So what if he makes factual errors of a rather basic type. He's a journalist for god's sake. :lol:

    His next article on MFC's last premiership in 1966 when we pipped the filth will be a cracker.

    BTW to satisfy the agony aunts who got their draws in a terrible knot last time: Martin Flanagan is a peerless journalist who writes great informative, factual( B) ) and interesting articles. We should be so blessed and lucky we have him.

    Rumpole did say that Flanagan was doing a great job. The journo should realise by now how important our history is to us because our more recent history and the present (apart from Sunday's win) has been rather unerwhelming.

    It was not directed at Rumpole.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
