How the heck did Matt Damon make the list?

Was out here filming or something a few years back, they teed up a jumper presentation with Bizzell, attended a match or two. A long shot saying he's a supporter.

Clint Stanaway (channel 9 news reporter)

His dad is one of the runners! Or a medic or something.

I'm pretty sure Matt Damon can be added to that list.

EDIT: Found a longer list: http://footy.wikia.c...rs_of_AFL_clubs

Had to laugh after reading through the Carlton list and the following people

  • Mick Gatto (Repairs and Maintenance)
  • Jason Moran (Entrepreneur)
  • Mark Moran (Pharmacist)
  • Tony Mokbel (Importer)

Some interesting slants on professions there

Essendon's list of celebrity supporters is even better

Kevin Sheedy

Jemima from Playschool

That guy from that show that was on TV that one time

According to another chat room Bob Skilton wanted to go to Melbourne originally but we knocked him back like 3 times saying he wasnt good enough.

Given we can't seem to fill a team of current players maybe we can squeeze him in the forward pocket with Kylie Minogue.

Thanks for the responses to date. Appaently Lachlan Hansen and Nathan Buckly both supported the Dees also.

Based on some quick research a couple of players suggested above appear to have supported other clubs. (Scarlett - Essendon, Deledio - Carlton, S.Johnson - Collingwood, Roughead - Bulldogs, Brown - Fitzroy, Goodes - Pies, Butcher - Saints)

I have update our team with the other suggestions that I could confirm. (Could not find anything on Lake, Betts or Griffen.)

We are still a players few short of a full team.

Director of coaching - David Parkin

Coach - Nathan Buckley

Assistant - Terry Wallace

- Chris Heffernan

Sorry Romey but Nathan Buckley was a devout C'wood fan. He didn't want to go any where but the wobbles. He was not allowed to nominate a team and thus he was drafted by the Bears; he only signed under the condition he would be traded in 2 years time.

Both Kelvin (Richmond) and Andrew (Port) Moore were avid Dees fans growing up.

Ray, Alan and Geoff Watson though two of them didn't play vfl. Dean Watson(Alan's Son) was a Morrish Medal Winner the year Gary Ablett Senior won the Brownlow I think Dean barracked for Melbourne. Come to think of it don't even think Geoff barracked for the Dees.

Thought he was a dog's man, as he was on their list.

His blue and red loyalties is to West Perth, as he was both a player and coach.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
