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.

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

    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.

    Jack Grimes Lachlan Hansen Simon Buckley

    Cheynee Stiller Moloney Andrew Gaff

    ??? ??? Prestia

    ??? Franklin ???

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
