Anyone know any former players that come to the dees' games regularly.

The only guy I see quite often is Anthony Ingerson...looks like a passionate supporter and a just your normal guy in the crowd i.e. polarfleece never suit!

Any others?

Last year I saw one of my old favourites, Ricky Jackson at two of Melbourne's games.

I had a beer with Nathan 'doggy' Brown last year at the Sunday twilight game against Adelaide rnd 5? He was a great bloke & still loves the dees. He told me he never became a firefighter.

 

Is Paul Wheatley employed by the club in any capacity? He was at the game on the weekend, dressed in what looked pretty much the same as the players' suits worn by Juice, Hughes, Miller etc who were also viewing. He even came down the same set of stairs into the rooms the current players did. Confused me a bit. But anyway, he was there.


There was a 2000 Grand Final reunion hosted by the club. That could explain it.

yeah, i was at it, great laugh with miller and robbo, we were watching the game behimd the glass, i have to say miller is a top bloke, he remembered me from the plane to darwin. robbo loves the sound of his own voice i must say. and its obvious he still wants to be out there, yze and browny were ribbing him about how good the 24 looks on LJ, very funny. it's amazing listening to the boys comment during the game, they see stuff a lot quicker than the normal bloke, neita was great too, he reckons that greeny is probably the bravest player he's played with and is underatted by others outside MFC. i agreed. they were getting stuck into watts a few times with his decision making. but all think he will be a star. Ricky 'bobby' petterd rocked up too, he is a very popular bloke with the older boys, they took the [censored] but he held his own. the boys congratulated him on signing the contract, he said he was never going to GC, he loves it here. all in all a great day, was a bit surreal sitting drinking beers with that team, what a decent bunch of lads. Whitey is now ruck coach at GC, good move. yze looks as fit as ever. if u ever get a chance to go to one of these events its well worth the money

I caught the train to Etihad for the St Kilda match from Prahran station and Steven (i think) Febey was on it. He was dressed in casual attire. I am sure it was Steven and not mouse, one of them is regularly spotted crawling out of Revolver or 161 at 9am in the morning chewing face.

AAahhh hahahahaha mate of mine lived on Chapel st, the St Kilda end next to a pub (can't recall the name of it off the top of my head). We used to frequent it on Sundays as my mates hot house mates worked there. The Febey boys were both in there often on a Sunday with the bright lights in the eyes and smashig down the chewy's.

Near the Union? I can't recall the name either, but I know where u mean. Always see them out the front, with very itchy noses. Mouse is the worst by far. He always jacked! Both lovely fellas though!

There a several former players who regularly attend but not all perhaps well known faces, espcially the older ones. I caught up with a former head of the former players at Etihad aafter StKilda game and guys like Gary Hardeman and a bloke who wore no 2 and played on the wing a bit up until 1987 have been regulars since their playing days at games at the G. guys older than them like Noel McMahon and his vintage also attend most home games still.

Stephen Smith - a regular - in the MCC committee area.

And Barass, of course.

I saw Sean Wight and Rod Grinter sitting with Stephen Smith as guests of the MCC the other week.

Ive seen David Neitz a few times this season at at MCG sitting near Jim. On another note I had Peter Costello sitting near me in the members last sunday.

Neita is working for the Club now.

Seen Wheaters a few times, was having a beer in the Tridents a couple of weeks ago.

Robbo was at QB wearing a stupid hat.

I sat next to Steven in 2005 (at a guess) one game :)


Stuart Spencer is there every week. Noel McMahen is also there evry week. Joe Rugolo has been seen.

Guy Rigoni and i had a few pots together at the royal after the melb vs westcoke game this year,

top bloke!

Sydney FC are offering all ex-socceroos and one guest free memberships for life. I was wondering if MFC should do something similar with ex-players that played 100 games plus etc. Good to keep players around the club, even at a distance. Great to help build the passion for future father-son-draft picks perhaps.

 

You find quite a lot of ex players sitting in the second level of the Olympic stand. You will be suprised how many still go regularly.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
