The current Neeld / Prendergast thread again mentioned that Pendlebury followed the Dee's as a kid, and therefore wants to play with us. So in the interest of keeping some sanity until 31 March 2012, here is a little quiz.

1) What teams did the Melbourne players follow as kids?

02 Jones - St Kilda

03 Bartram - Essendon

04 Watts - Sydney, Essendon, St Kilda, Geelong

05 Gysberts - Collingwood

16 Grimes - Melbourne

22 Moloney - Melbourne

27 Rivers - Sydney

42 Spencer - Brisbane

48 Fitzpatrick - Hawthorn

49 Nicholson - Hawthorn

50 Evans - Melbourne

2) What opposition players followed Melbourne as kids?

Carlton - Chris Judd

Hawthorn - Buddy Franklin

Collingwood - Simon Buckley, Scott Pendlebury

West Coast - Andrew Gaff

Well we all know that Moloney was a Demon. Jones was St Kilda. I would assume Frawley was a Saint too. Bartram was Essendon. Grimes was Tigers I believe.

Judd, Buddy and Pendles were all Melbourne supporters as kids. Simon Buckley was too.

Who else have we got?

I work at a gym and one of our members works with Jack Watts' dad... I'm pretty sure he told me that Watts Snr supports St. Kilda. Whether Jack supported St. Kilda or not though I am unsure.

I can 100% confirm Grimes supported Melbourne, as one of my best mates knows the family through Hurstbridge FC.

As for opposition players supporting Melbourne... I think that Andrew Gaff from West Coast is another one.

I remember reading an article written by Grant Thomas about Jack Watts and Nick Riewoldt spending some time together at a party, which sort of backs up the St Kilda theory.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read a year or two back that Roo and Jack were catching up at one point too. Sort of a mentoring role... which is unique being they are opponents.

If Watts can become as good as Riewoldt was at his peak, then I'm sure we'll all be pretty stoked with that.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
