Listing the playing numbers etc. is fine.

If someone lists the results for that day, there may be bans...

bwhaha,love your humour. and fair enough too!

The way things are atm, I would take anything relating to a GF we played in, but NOT that one, there are 11 others to discuss.

Thnx Stingrays for your troubles :)

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

Thanks Deevoted and Stingray for the info. I am surprised! Stingray, fancy C Wilson at number ten. She was a back up ruckman, ( Sorry Colin). Also Stingray,do you know why Donnny Williams got an asterisk next to his name in the team listing?

Checked the original and there is no asterisk there. It was a PDF file that I converted to text, so assume it was an aberration due to the conversion.

er Jack aint you holidaying on the Gold Coast????

Actually on the way home but currently stranded at Coolangata Airport due to delays caused by a computer outage. I told them they could borrow my computer if it would help but got a polite refusal.

George's real name was Theodoroulakes (or something like that) but it was shortened at some stage. Perhaps he was worried that Jack Dyer, who was commentating on 3KZ at the time, might have some trouble pronouncing the long version.

He was one of many great hopes the club's had in the past 48 years but sadly, few have delivered. We're still waiting ...

Is there a bar at this godforesaken airport?

Jack is about to shout the bar :)

I may have to keep a running tally of who gets the most correct. (as soon as i bring down the cable internet up nth)

I have no intention of taking over your very interesting quiz Deevoted BUT see if clever dick Jack can answer this one. 'I played country football against the great John Coleman before becoming a Demon'. Over to you Jack and anyone else including you Deevoted.

Damn I was a bit late on the computer outrage. Dont mention my name at the airport. They might believe you.

Know a good lawyer if I need some sort of defence?

Yeah, you know that as well?. was something along those lines. I need to recheck, Well done again.

That means he comes from the Mornington Peninsula and played in either the late 40s/early 50s. I'll think about it while I'm on my flight home but that should be a sufficient clue to help someone like gsmith who would remember that era well.

Off the top of my head, no idea.

I was trying to avoid random posts such as yours. No offence, and if you can put together another 5 like that one, You can have a go at quiz master for a week. randoms will make it confusing if we get a few doing the same. But if it happens it happens i cant prevent it.

Hard to get the cigar with that one. Shane McGrath was at the club right throughout the 40s and would have retired by about the same time Coleman came onto the scene. The only thing they had in common would be that they both owned pubs. Shane had one in North Melbourne which I used to pass on my way to Uni.

Sorry mate, this is just a one off to try and stump WJ. As I said it's your quiz show and it is very enjoyable and gets people away from the doom and gloom stories featuring Caro and co.

They probably knew you needed it more for the quiz ans :)

If its Tiger airlines,talk to a Ms C Wislon. she may know more about it, than you know. (U being a Dee supporter)

Used to love listening to Jack and the Major. "A good ordinary footballer"... or "if you dont mind,UMPIRE!"

Throw in him with a heap of others. Tilbrook still erks me.

Is there a bar at this godforesaken airport?

If you need at beer, you should have gone out 30 mins earlier,my 2nd clue may have lasted for another hour. :)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
