* "McKAIGE. - Ken. All at the Melbourne Football Club were saddened to hear of the passing of past player, Ken McKaige. Ken was renowned for his love of the Club, and was a friend to many. He served as the President of the Club's Past and Present..." Published in: Herald Sun

Met Ken last year in the carpark at Safeway Mordialloc...posted as much on demonland/demonology. He was a real gentleman and spoke of his love for the MFC...a real character and not short of words. The reason I stopped ( for a brief hello !!) was because his walker and car were covered in MFC stickers. My brief chat lasted over 30 mins of which I had to excuse myself as I was in such a hurry.

    • 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.
