in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

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

    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.

    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.

    And your NEW number one ticket holder, Kenny Rogers

    Apologies for the rubbish quality.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
