Now to fill in some time while we wait for our draft choices.....

In light of the fact it now seems likely that Jack Viney will play with MFC.

Name some others that were associated with the Dees?

1: Can be a father that played VFL/AFL for another team and son played for MFC

or father played for MFC and his son played elsewhere.

2: Must be based on some facts -- proof games played. - Thats it.

As a added bonus ,do you know the jumper number they wore when they played?

I can think of about a dozen. But see how you go.

Grandpa/Son rule - Travis Johnstone

Ben Sinclair - pick 62 in the 2009 draft, drafted by the pies. His old man played for the dees I believe. Will be an addition to the list if he can crack a game for the pies (or if we can draft him over at the end of next year and give him a game).

Didn't Tom Scully's bioligical father play for Richmond. (bigfooty rumour that doesn't need to be brought up again).

"Big" Bob Johnson please!!! B)

That reminds me.... my framed copy of the Team of the Century jumper shows the full back as "Bob" Johnson which I suppose is technically correct but of course to differentiate between the two equally famous "Bobs" the defender was better known as "Tas" or "Tassie". Several visitors assumed it was a mistake ! I just find it disrespectful and irritating.

Well done to everyone... Prof listed the most

There are a few I had forgotten about.

But I can think of at least 2 more combinations.

I'll hold off naming them, somebody may list who they are.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Richie and Ken Emselle

I think Don, Dennis and Ted Cordner's Dad played for Melbourne,too.(ie....3 generations.)

Our great coach "Checker" Hughes didn't play for Melb, but his son, Frank jnr. did.

I wish Bluey Adams, Donny Williams , Dicko and Barass.jnr had sons who played like their dads! How lucky were Geelong with the Abletts.

Congratulations Supermercado.

I hadn't had a good look around Demonwiki for some time. It is really filling out well and is a great source of info for us demon acolytes.

You must have put an enormous amount of work into this

Again, well done and thanks

As i remember he was known as Robert "Tassie" Johnson. No relation to the famous Bob Johnsons.

A solid Fullback, a superb kick (Kicks-ins using a Dropkick)

Agree with your comments, but our hit rate with successful Fathers/Sons isnt great.

The Cordner Family is our most successful.

Richie / Ken Emselle was one I was waiting for somebody to get.

Here's 2 more

John Lord / John Lord Jr

Barry Bourke / Darren Bourke

Darren played a few games in the 2nds, before

transferring to St.Kilda.Played seniors there.

Are Crosswell/Kavanagh the only F/S combo in AFL history to not have the same surname?

Both Barassi and Flower's sons were in the mix to get picked up by us (in the 80's and early 2000's respectively) but nothing came of it. Also in another odd family twist, Todd Viney's youngest brother trained with us after 2000 to try and get drafted.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
