The A-Z of the MFC

[Melbourne_1926 1]

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?

[MrMoose 262]

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

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

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.

[H_T 3,043]

Yze and Zantuck......well done Deeoldfart.

[mauriesy 7,265]

AA is for All-Australian. Jamar and Frawley in 2010, but none this year.

[The Chazz 4,077]

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.

[Range Rover 1,935]

CC is for Chris "Cuddles" Connolly

[hardtack 10,520]

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

[hardtack 10,520]

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

EE is for .... Earl and Ezra, unusual sounding names only the dignified MFC would draft.

[Range Rover 1,935]

FF is for ... Fred Fanning. 'nuff said.

[Range Rover 1,935]

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

[hardtack 10,520]

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

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,706]

II is 7 points.

Edit: Perhaps too obscure the way II is written. Perhaps better like this I.I.7

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

[Range Rover 1,935]

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.

Cryptic clue for the X ! Beach anyone ?

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.

SS Steven Stretch.....

[Sideshow Bob 2,345]

SS Steven Stretch.....

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
