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.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
