i suggest we all add to this list from our own knowledge - I think it can be instructive as to why clubs behave as they do.

 

Essendon also has Satan as #1 ticket holder... but they don't advertise that for some reason.

Makes my face screw up to see that ratbag Murdoch as a supporter. He is the biggest cheese in controlling world sport but has done bugger all for us as far as I can tell. Shameless meddler only interested in power and making more money. If one deserves a punch in the nose for getting into people's space it is him.

 

Robbo not listed under Essendon?

Also, David Bridie (Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake) is a devoted Dee's supporter - renowned for his verion of It's a Grand Old Flag and the wonderful tune, "Jimmy Stynes".

Didn't Derryn Grinch renounce the MFC sometime ago, due to his perception of the MFC's treatment of women? I wouldn't lose any sleep if he did

 

Brian Nankervis - Collingwood

Tex Perkins - St Kilda

Paul Kelly - Adelaide (previously Melbourne)

David Hobson - Melbourne

David Larkins (Dallas Crane) - Essendon (currently working at MFC)

Mark Fine SEN St.Kilda

funny...youd think he'd be ours !!!

Why does anyone really care ?


Brian Nankervis - Collingwood

David Larkins (Dallas Crane) - Essendon (currently working at MFC)

Is Dave Larkin a celeb?

Well FMD.

Titus O'Reily is definitely a Melbourne man.

Must admit to hating the term celebrity. They are not heroic, famous or particularly noteworthy. They may be known because they have TV or media credentials but nothing more. Some may think that is noteworthy. I am more interested in the kids, the mums and dads, the unempIoyed and those making an honourable living. I have a little more time for sportsmen and women, writers and musicians. If there is going to be a list of public figures, someone like ex Seeker Bruce Woodley who has been a committed Demon and spectator over the long-term should be on the list. I have more time for the committed rank and file Demon supporters I saw at the G on Friday. By the way I took my Collingwood supporter wife who said she had never seen such passionate and emotional supporters in her life, including the Collingwood army. The outpouring of emotion is a wonderful thing and makes this old game of ours and this old team of ours important and worthwhile. There will be one helluva Demon Army once the train gets up a full head of steam. No doubt at that time the celebrities will come out and identify themselves as Melbourne supporters. Cannot abide fickle supporters,

Give us some money and power Rupert, you old dried up hag! Tightarse


Give us some money and power Rupert, you old dried up hag! Tightarse

you tell him.

Give us some money and power Rupert, you old dried up hag! Tightarse

We're not THAT desperate.

 

George Pell a Richmond Supporter

What a burden for them to carry. He is actually a worse Human than Murdoch!!

Actually they are both apalling

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
