Journalists

[Supermercado 2,646]

Not counting the likes of Mundine and Ivanovic who just got handed a jumper and held it up for a photo shoot with no idea what they were doing here's a list I've put together over the years. Although I'd effectively put John So in that bracket as well, he must have been nearly the most rubbish #1 ticketholder we've ever had.

On the topic of celebrity photo shoots I've also got pictures of Kenny Rogers holding the jersey aloft and Chuck Norris being tackled by Adrian Battiston.. Will post later when I'm home.

..................

James Tomkins - Rower

.................

IIRC, James did a pre-season with us, back in the days before he became a member of the 'Oarsome Foursome'.

[jayceebee31 671]

Mike Sheahan, not bad

And he is a MFC member as well.

[jayceebee31 671]

Really ???

Well he got a free jumper from us a couple of years ago..

[WonnaJurah 5]

big maxie

[WonnaJurah 5]

big maxie

doesnt count as he used to play for us

[Demon Rob 2]

Isn't this topic journalists? Just naming anyone who barracks is a bit irrelevant.

But then again, half the AFL journalists shouldn't rate as journalists anyway.

[Supermercado 2,646]

As promised here's Battiston vs Norris

And your NEW number one ticket holder, Kenny Rogers

Apologies for the rubbish quality.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Thought we could lay some claim to Martin Flanagan.

I wouldn't. He admires the MFC and has written some great articles about the club, but I don't see him as following the club as such.

Agreed on all counts.

Dr Turf from SEN is a Dees supporter too. Don't know his real name.

His name is John Rothfield whose brother Mark is a former committee man . As a very young man in the 1970's, he actually applied to coach the team ! If we are playing a rare Saturday game he always chooses his Demons ahead of his horses !

He knows his stuff too, knows more about football (and a lot of other sports) than most people in the media.

[She Devil 64 21]

And the guy from the Toyota ads that isn't Stephen Curry.

Dave Lawson

John Rothfield (Dr Turf) is right up there with Roy Slaven, his personna on Radio is fantastic, particularly with KB. John always sticks up for the MFC when he gets a chance.

Loved him ever since "Punter to Punter" on RRR.

[AlphaDee 17]

'The Chief of Control" from Get Smart - my son noticed that he frequently wore a Red and Blue tie.

He must have been a Dees fan!!!!

i saw Ernie Dingo in the changerooms last year after our win against Port Adelaide

he was wearing a MFC member scarfe and had a pretty big smile on his face

[davey_magik 1]

That is wrong, Jon Ralph follows Geelong.

Ernie Dingo is an Eagles fan, has been since they started.

[Diablo Deemon 220]

That's strange about Ernie Dingo I saw him at a Melbourne vs Richmond

game this year wearing Richmond scalf and jacket behind the goals. Near the cheer squad I remember

cause he met with Jim Stynes who came down and sat with the cheer squad.

well he was chatting with the two west aussies in jetta and bennell

[DemonWorshipper 296]

He is a good friend of Cousins though, which would explain the Richmond Scarf.

I also seem to remember he was once No.1 ticket holder for WCE.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I reckon Will Ferrell would probably go for the Dees ...
