Martin Flanagan again ...

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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
