I now live in the far west and don't keep up with club politics ( Except Melbourne's).

I had a chuckle when I read an article by the new Richmond president Peggy O'Neal.

When I was a kid living in Victoria in the fifties we used to sing songs about different teams. Some not too flattering! Older posters may remember.

The Richmond one went like this;

"She comes from Richmond I bet you a zac because her bloomers are yellow and black,

Sweet personality, full of rascality, that's Peggy O'Neill."

So the current Tiger president had all the inside running! Pity the spelling is different but it sounds the same.

    I thought it was 1866?

    that was the year of OLD DEES birth.

    Good on you for at least knowing this part of his history.

    No matter, the name is the same. Both are a variation of the Gaelic Ua Neill. There are several other variations.

    Thanks for that explanation America de Cali. I should know about that since my first name is Neil. Another variation of Neal and Neill.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
