I'll bet following MFC through 2012 was far more depressing.

Too bad we no longer have Austin 'copy paste' Wonaeamirri. The variations on that one were classic.

Clark and Dunn +e drives me crazy.

Called him Aussie because the rest was far too hard.

Yep spot on, or Wonna . The Ox is far easier to use as well .

As much as I would like to visit that part of the world (really want to get to Iceland one day), it should be noted that Sweden has one of the highest suicide rates in the world...guess that fits with your description OD.

One of my favourites, not actually a mis spelling but a pronunciation one, was Jack Dyer who used to describe Big Strawbs, #1, as "Odour Wire".

The effective taxation in Sweden is commonly cited as among the highest in the world.

apparently norway has high tax as well, but the retirement age is alot lower and their civil services are meant to be fantastic...

i'd be happy to pay a bit more tax if it meant i didnt have to work until i'm 70

I used to say 'Trengrove' for a little while (a few months pre and post draft) but I think that's the only mistake I've ever made. I used to think Shannon Byrnes was Brynes though. I've continually seen Clarke, Pettard and Taggart . I never even got Wonaeamirri wrong, among a sea of Wonaemirri's and Wonaeamiri's. A bit off topic, but I've heard people at games exchange Bennell for Jetta and vice versa

I find the spelling police annoying.

As long as I know who posters are on about , I don't care if they mix up a letter.

It's more the fact that people don't know how to spell the name, not so much mixing up a letter.

Topics like this one make people aware of how to spell certain names.

Personally I am hopeless at remembering people's names and so so at spelling them, but when it comes to players names at Melbourne I like to know them correctly.

Hardly a big deal but.

spelling mistakes arent the things that annoy me, what annoys me is when someone has made a good point or have a good opinion on something but they have slept a name wrong then the next 3 comments are, awww it CLARK not CLARKE!! if you know what they mean just get on with FFS!!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
