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

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
