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'.

Mike Sheahan, not bad

And he is a MFC member as well.

Really ???

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

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.

As promised here's Battiston vs Norris

Apologies for the rubbish quality.

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.

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.

'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!!!!

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

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
