Listing the playing numbers etc. is fine.

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

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 :)

    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?

    Not only a quiz but a reference on some history.

    Looks like another clue is needed.

    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.

    red and blue forever has decided to stick his head in the noose.

    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?

    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!"

    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 ...

    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. :)

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
