Who do you see in civvy's ?

I ran into Jordie McKenzie at a supermarket in Caulfield last night.

Had a quick chat to him.

Told him he has been fantastic this year which he was happy to hear.

We chatted about media and supporter sites - the club tells them they are better off not reading the papers. I told him if he has any confidence or self esteem issues do NOT read Demonland or Demonology and he had a good laugh at that.

I followed up after commenting about the sometimes cruel nature of the supporter sites that there is a huge amount of manlove for him on both 'land and 'ology - that was when he looked at me a wee bit oddly ! ( oh well)

Who do you see on regular basis in civvy's ?

Noone really. Used to run into Neita a fair bit, but not anymore.

I was standing on the train near him going home from the G about 4-5 weeks ago and as he was getting off the train I let go with a "GO NEEIITAAA" at which he smiled.

There were two women sitting with their Melbourne scarves near me and I heard one say to the other after I made a dick of myself by yelling "I thought I recognised him - that was Kevin Neita"

Close but no cigar !

I see Scully at a cafe in Blacktown a lot recently.

There's enough pessimism around the Scully issue.

Apparently Robbo goes to the accountants two doors up from my place. I've walked past Brian Lake coming out of there.

Eth, I'm gald you didn't count looking through Ricky Petterd's window as seeing him in his civvy's!

I've seen a number of the younger female Home & Away actresses in their civvy's. It was just a pity that the only time they saw me was when they were slapping an AVO on me. What is stalking anyway? I prefer to call it looking from afar.

Trust me, there's only one player that I know what suburb they live in, and it isn't Ricky.

90% sure I walked past Robert Walls in the CBD two weeks back as well. I was tempted to ask how many votes Judd and Murphy would tie on for the Brownlow :)

Morton Russian and Wheats used to get their lunch from the Bakery just down the road from my office in Bentleigh; Russian used to do a screaming U Turn and tear off down centre Road back to towards Nepean H'way afterwards. If you want to see footballers just head on down to Church Street in Brighton, there's usually a heap of them at the Cafes Lloyd's a regular at the Pantry so are plenty of others depending on the time of year.

I go to re-creation armadale gym. Now it's owned by goodlife. Since the take over, i've seen John Meesen several times, so too James McDonald (not surprised he wasn't that big over his career, his form isn't too spectacular. Actually surprised he didn't injure himself more during his career). I've seen Sam Blease workout there too, Chris Tarrant was there a few times over summer (his arms are absolutely massive, even more so in real life).

On a side note, Emma Freedman was there during the SRC. Absolutely gorgeous, but geeze she can talk.

I couldn't believe my luck when i saw about 22 MFC players all at once at the MCG. Was a special day for sure!!!

Saw Neita and Paul Wheatley out on the town earlier this year.

I've seen Jake Spencer at chaddy and one day over summer saw Juice, Max Gawn and Stefan Martin all at Chadstone, some big lads. Come to think of it I've seen Jamar at chaddy as well. Also saw Byron Pickett there when he was playing for us.

Saw Tom McNamara and Kel Lawrence leaving when I was walking past AAMI park one day.

Oh and I saw Scully out for a walk with his sister earlier in the year.

Forgot to mention about the place two doors up - Scott West's brother co-runs it. (That's a guess - I'm not entirely sure on his position in the company but it's West and Williams so I'd assume he's a top figure.)

Dunno if that counts.

Saw Col Garland at my local supermarket with his mum and brother. He was joking around about toilet paper. His mum pipes up and tells the checkout chick that she only needs to buy heaps when Colin visits. Had the whole isle laughing. Seemed like a lovely family.

I once saw Carl Steinfort moping around Chadstone. The next day he got delisted so that explained his hangdog expression.

Wait, did this have to be MFC and recent?

See Sylvia a fair bit around the South Yarra and Toorak areas, and not to mention a large amount of the boys at Chaddy.

Juice, Jamar, Strauss and Cheney (even though he's gone) always seem to be there. Also see Strauss driving around the Camberwell/Surrey Hills areas a lot.

Funny storry about Juice, have seen him in Edge a fair few times, and my mate I couldn't help but pissing ourselves laughing when he asked one of the girls there "What are you girls doing for new years?" The fella may be a dud, but he has provided my mates and myself with HOURS of laughter over that one.

Was in the same train carriage as Jordan Gysberts coming home from the St kilda game last year. It was just after those 2 awesome debut games and I wanted congratulate him but wasn't 100% sure it was him. (but I knew deep down it was as he was wearing the Mfc suit)

North game this year- parked in city car park 25 mins before game. Blease (driving) and Scully pull up at the same time and park next to me. I left game just before final siren, arrive at car, Scully and Blease's car gone... Did they have something better to do than stay till end of game?

Bloody Mark Jamar loved speeding down Centre Rd back when he used to live in the area with his ute. He almost ran me over/ smashed into me about a dozen times.

Back then he was also a massive dud, so I used to get seriously shitty with him. Now he can run me over if he so wishes because he's a gun B)

I see Jordie McKenzie at the regular pub I go to in Brunswick. He is a massive nerd, but completely adorable. I'm pretty sure I made him blush a bit. Poor child.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
