MFC Trivia question.

What do Peter Tossol, James Magner and Sam Weideman have in common and keep it nice?

Award-winning at reserves level while playing for Demons?

Oh, premierships at reserves level?

Waaaaaiiiit..... I've got it but will leave it for others to guess/figure as well.

That's amazing. I would've thought there would be barely three players in the whole league who have that in common, let alone three who each spent most of their career playing at reserves level.

    I sense you have it.

    Will see if anyone else guesses before confirming.

    First two kicks at AFL level were goals.

    It was a bizarre one with Weideman as no articles or Wikipedia mention it, because he had about a dozen handballs in between his first and second kick and the second was late in the game.

    I only realised when I noticed Weideman had just two kicks total in his first game, so they must both have been goals otherwise another umpire would have to be arrested.

    Random ponderance: at the men’s B&F the players were dressed by our newest sponsor, Country Road, and all wore the exact same suit. Don’t get me wrong they all looked dapper and apparently all got to keep their $750 suit. But…

    In a couple of weeks it’ll be our W B&F. Should we expect to see every player in the exact same dress? Of course not. That’d be silly, right? Why then couldn’t Country Road have put the guys in different suits?

    PS please humour me. I’m supposed to be packing up my goddamn house for shifting on the goddamn weekend and right now I’m at the crossroads: either get on DL, or kill someone. Anyone.

    Reading this mornings paper, clearly Hawthorn need more time to chill out and eat more Bananas.

    But then they employed him with no name,  I still thank Don Scott !

    This is apropos of nothing really but I just had to share it.

    I was speaking (well listening) to a female acquaintance yesterday and she saw fit to inform me of of the cause of our rather odd weather conditions.

    Apparently there was an earthquake last year ( location unspecified) which " knocked the Earth off its axles"  and thus our our current extreme weather.

    Simples!

    I wouldn't be surprised to find out Earth has been up on stumps on some derro alien's galactic front lawn for the last twenty years.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
