My boy (typically) lost his membership card on the way home from the QB game. 

I wrote to the club to get a replacement, promising he hadn’t cooked it in the microwave. ?

But somebody found it and sent it back to the club, they’re now posting it back to us. Your post plus the kind soul who returned my boy’s card just reinforce my belief that there’s some fair dinkum good people out there still.

His timing may be impeccable, as opposed to his dad's (from 1985).

In any case, it's better that, than the alternative - Collingwood. That would be unbearable.

Despite the fact he’s only three, he should be able to grasp the concept that if he wants to support the pies, he can go and live wherever he likes.

As I told my kids - you can follow any team you like, but just be aware that I only offer food and shelter to Melbourne supporters.

Heh heh heh

The membership team congratulated me on our impending #2 in Oct and I said sadly I may need to avoid (being caught) singing the Grand Old Flag in the depths of the night, in order to avoid marital disharmony, but the membership team indicated they would be willing to help.

Perhaps I should pop for an infant onesie and beanie. All to keep #2 warm of course!

Sadly grandparents live in a very nice coastal retreat which he loves so I don't want to bring out the nuclear option yet lest he call my bluff.

Timbo, my #1 daughter was singing the grand old flag Level 2 in nappies at 18 months (2005 when we actually won a few). You can never start too early!

At 3.

"oh the shark colour and the red colour, keep your eye on the red and the blue"

to be fair he has watched all the 80s guernsey games and watches Octonauts so it's pretty similar to shark colour ?

Love your work Jumping Jack and nice to see the public thanks and recognition from Timbo, I'm sure he was more generous in his PM's.

Correct. One always must maintain one's decorum in the public arena, one has found.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
