Melbourne reigns supreme

[Whispering_Jack 30,672]

I suppose this will probably end up in "Other Sports" but, at this time of the year, its worthwhile reflecting on how other teams bearing the name Melbourne are burning it up in their respective competitions.

The Melbourne Renegades are undefeated and on top of the BBL table followed by

The Melbourne Stars who have lost only one game and that was against the Melbourne Renegades.

And if you think the BBL is Micky Mouse stuff then let's look at how the Melbourne Demons are travelling in the Premier District cricket competition. After comfortably disposing of Fitzroy-Doncaster yesterday, the Demons are way out on top:

Melbourne 62 1.832

Prahran 49 1.407

Ringwood 47 1.404

Carlton 43 1.076

Richmond 41 1.789

Dandenong 41 1.458

St Kilda 40 1.283

Melb Uni 37 1.116

Fitz Donc 32 1.105

Geelong 32 0.835

Frank Pen 28 0.808

Camb Magpies27 0.933

Foot-Edgewate27 0.903

North Melb 26 0.726

Casey-SM 21 0.675

Haw-Mon Uni 8 0.733

Essendon 8 0.617

Northcote 5 0.508

In other sports, Melbourne is on top of the Lawn Bowls competition ladder.

With all that going for it, surely its only a matter of time before the Melbourne Football Club follows suit and claims its rightful spot on top of the table.

* I discount the Melbourne Tigers in the basketball for their obvious connections with striped animals.

How is the MCC Royal Tennis team going?

The A League game last night was a cracker.

Would have been hot work running for 90+ minutes.

Great to see the Heart lose in extra time. They shoul relocate to Geelong.

The one that plays footy....the real footy

Prefer football (soccer) as a sport but only one team in the world in any sport I passionately care about.

We must all have seriously shallow lives!

You may be correct OD. But, at this time of year, we are all philosophers, especialy when viewing the world through the "truth machine" ie the bottom of a wine glass.

You're a bitter and twisted individual OD if you have issues with some light hearted discussion on Melbourne clubs.

I can see that you would have problems with a title like "Melbourne reigns supreme" so why don't you just slink back to wishing the club ill on the Bailey thread?

Oh lighten up if you cannot see that this was having a little joke at my own expense I feel sorry for you.

Does everything you see appear confrontational !
