I've got great 'Y' and 'Z's up my sleeve, but alas, I'll bite my tongue and follow the Rangey's rules...

Y is for Gen Y........Will Gen Y kids grow up seeing MFC as the most successful team in the AFL, with premierships number 13, 14, 15, 16 before 2020?

    W is for 'Wanting'. Wanting that 13th premiership! (and more after that too!)

    Z for Shane Zantuck. Reliable back pocket during the early - mid 1980s, and for the oldies, Owen Zinko was one of those 'gunna be a star ' players who never got to shine back in the early 1960s.

    BB is for Bret Bailey. Solid without being a star.

    I was going to put BB is for Boom Boom, but I didn't know if that was Darren Bennett's real nickname or just one my family and I gave him - damn that guy could kick...wowee.

    CC is for Chris Connolly (edit: beaten by a whisker - RR), or if you are living north of Victoria, CC is for corn chips - popular with Mexicans

    DD is for Dunkin' Donuts - popular with their #1 shareholder, father of an ex Dee and now recruiting for GWS

    GG is for ... Graham Gaunt, obscure forward for the Demons in the late 70's, early 80's and the nom de guerre of a former serial pest poster on 'Ology.

    I'd have thought Redleg had a mortgage on GGs

    HH is for Harold Hay, Herbert Hill and Hell Hath (no fury) - another 'ology poster of ill repute.

    Judas, Judas. One word, but you need to say it twice to aptly describe HWSNBN.

    KK is for ... Keogh (Rod) and Kavanagh (Tom), both selected at the 1988 national draft and both from Kastlemaine.

    Graham Gaunt!! What a classic. Played in about 3 Richmond reserve grade GF's before we got him.

    Judas was loyal for a hell of a lot longer than Tom Scully has been.

    According to today's Age Jesus also had a brother called Judas (but not Iscariot). I didn't know that

    Relevance? None ....I don't think

    I believe they are listed under JJ in the A-Z of Galilee ...

    Cryptic clue for the X ! Beach anyone ?

    Xavier Tanner I presume. Unfortunately, his highlight reel is full of heroics at North Melbourne, and very little from his couple of years as a Demon.

    Perhaps 'THEO X', when Schwarta got his new number plates which should have read THE OX, he parked his car in the Rev. Daniher's spot before training... In storms Danners screaming who the hell is this Theo X character who has parked in my spot... Still known as Theo in some quarters.

    Sorry Biff. The recently late Stuart Spencer might sneak in front - B&F '55 '56 two of the triple premiership years. Good bloke to boot, was a great guy to have a beer with up in the coterie room

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
