Similarly, Isabelle and Ferdinand II of Spain were great supporters of the Saints.

So, can it be concluded that sheep farmers are Dockers supporters?

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.

I found this by googling who does Clint Stanaway barrack for?

It’ so interesting! But I won’t lie, I kinda wish I hadn’t read the Essendrug list. I could’ve happily gone to my grave not knowing Tim Minchin barracks for those filthy bottom-feeders.

Edit: It’s Freo for Tim Minchin, not Essendon! So happy to have made a mistake.

In a St.Kilda scarf if I remember correctly.

Reckon there was a video of muso types having a kick at half time at a VFL / AFL game many moons ago. None of 'em wore footy boots & it was a wet, muddy surface so the video consisted mainly of them slipping over in slow motion. I think @Smokey your uncle Big Wilbur was out there sporting Melbourne colours. Can't recall many others but Molly Meldrum was in Saints gear & Jon English in a Fitzroy outfit. Shirley Strahan in Hawthorn colours

and a special thanks to mrmoose who responded to a post of mine from may 2015

much appreciated

I read one of the earlier posts that Jesse and Ella Hooper from Killing Heidi we're Melbourne supporters.
Was gonna reply that that I didn't care about Jesse but am happy Ella is.

Read further on and I'd already replied.
Thought I'd gone Back to the Future till I saw the dateline.
Was amused my thoughts hadn't changed ?

I’ve been to the footy with your Uncle Wilbur. I can re-confirm he is most definitely a Dees supporter, scarred yet hopeful, like others of his gen.

Interesting to see James Tomkins in twice. Perhaps he was a fan of the proposed merge back in the day?

Tim Minchin..?! If I was given an ultimatum to watch one of his shows or cut off a finger, I would definitely cut a finger off, without hesitation.

MFC: Russell Howcroft - adman and ex channel 10 GM (have a listen to the recent hamish and andy bit on hamish trying to become friends with Russell)

I watched the Geelong final with Russell in 2018 in a pub in London, total random encounter. Great bloke! Didn't join me on the beers at 10am though from memory... think he had some business to attend to after the game.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
