Demonbracket 50 - Celebrating 50 Fruitless Years

Ryan Ferguson. Lol.

Could offer a year to Sewell now I guess

 

I'm thinking Glenn Swann, Darryl Cutherbetson, David Cordner, George Lakes, Peter Yeo, Peter Weekes, John Gallus, Russell Reynolds, Vincent Cattogio, Russell Collcott, Phil Carmen, (pipping P. Keenan, Jacko, Alan Jakovich, Steven O'Dwyer and Brent Crosswell), and not to mention Ed Burston, the boom recruit of 1966. So much for this much-maligned era.

I think ed burston taught me science at peninsula grammar

You are correct.

Ed did indeed teach science at Peninsula - was always modest about his onfield achievements, including the time he snagged a lazy 5 (I think) as resting ruckman - (got on the fortunate end of one or two 'handballs over the top').

As for his off-field achievements, well, that is another story (or so I am told......)

 

Congratulations to Austin Wonaeamirri for winning the warm-up event with 22%. Tears before bedtime for Paul Bryce and Robert Pyman who were the only players who failed to register a vote.


The first round proper will kick-off here at 7am Wednesday and run until 7pm Thursday night. Good luck getting your favourites up.

Bit harsh all. always liked Aussie. Another sad loss to the Dees!

Not as clear cut as I originally thought, enjoyable nevertheless.

 

Apparently voting has been slow, c'mon you guys get with the program and have a bit of fun :)


Voted.

If the internet has taught me anything, and I have to believe that it has, then Ryan Ferguson is a certainty to win.

Has been quite brisk (better than our usual comps anyway), up to 164 for the first matchups with 23 hours to go before the first winners are revealed. A few potential spankings here, plenty of hot contests in coming days.


Done.

Love the bio's - especially the Kelly O'Donnell disciplinary memo for fidgeting on Anzac Day. Classic

Note the way this memo lays the groundwork for MFC Facebook page users 30 years later by butchering his name twice.

Not sure whether Kerry and "Larry" (presumably Les) Bamblett moving in together is being spoken of as a good thing or a bad thing.

My favourite bio by far was the description of Matthew Warnock and his power point.

But I really think Ferguson is looking the goods...

You are a freak Supermercado man. How the hell did you get hold of a 31 year old MFC memo? Amazing

I'm glad you brought this up. I didn't 'move a little bit', I was holding up a couple of fingers to remind Brian Peake how many votes I got against him last time we played. How many did you poll Seddon? That's what I thought.

Round one of the voting doesn't look pretty for Ray.

Someone was always going to be on a hiding to nothing and it turned out to be Biffo #19.

No repechage either . :)

Sadly I've only got a handful of these from around 1982 (I wish there was a 30 year rule where documents were made public a'la the government), but here's another one of my favourites - the great Kentucky Fried Chicken swindle of 1982.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
