Haha! Chris always rings in with about 25 questions just before the news, so nothing is ever answered!

Chris was effusive about JVR but he didn’t stop there. He loves them all including young Howes, Laurie, the son of Woewodin and watch out for “Wakefield” (sic) an Aboriginal from “Alice Springs*”. I w

I’ll dig up the other one I have they’re hard to find - a post to the one referenced above that he told us about a few weeks ago would be much appreciated

My vote for Chris form Camberwell is most likely @picket fence or as a long shot @DV8

LoL... ummhh,  Chris from Camberwell.. HaHa.

I've heard  'CfromC'  speak on radio, a couple years ago.  i'm very afraid to say, I'm nothing like him..

I'm probably more a cross between 'Skipper' on Gilligan's Isle,,,  and the 'Professor' on the Isle... now, where did I put that darn Cap down..

I suppose on that lonely island for all those years, with nothing to do, all kinds of strange things ensued. Must be the tropical water.

(Me, even at a tender young age, I always envisaged "crossing" with Mary Anne.)

I guess you learned about MFC from distant 3UZ broadcasts. The professor must have got the radio working then?

I suppose it  'did', 'MR'.

 

'Mary-Anne' was around my speed, as well... GinGer was just, a bit too 'spicy',,, for li'lle ol' me.

If someone can locate the genuine Chris from Camberwell, the offer still stands of a gig on one of our Demonland podcasts so that he can illuminate us with his voluminous knowledge of what the MFC needs to succeed in the world.

If we could find Alan Jakovich, then finding Chris from Camberwell should be easy.

Hey WJ, long time since NY, why not give the radio producer a call, they are great at that sort of thing.

Chris from Camberwell rang Dwayne Russell’s programme on 3AW and told the listening audience that Melbourne had some real beauties in the Casey VFL team and was adamant that JVR should be in the Melbourne team. 

Dwayne gave him a prize.

He's on to something...

I do enjoy listening to him. Your right. He does ask a lot of questions and often answers them. Often they over Dwayne's head. Haha

Chris was effusive about JVR but he didn’t stop there. He loves them all including young Howes, Laurie, the son of Woewodin and watch out for “Wakefield” (sic) an Aboriginal from “Alice Springs*”. I was driving south down the Monash Freeway when I heard him waxing so lyrically about our young talent that fair dinkum, I missed the turnoff at Wellington Road. None of these blokes has played a single AFL game yet but he had me convinced that they all were strong candidates for next year’s All Australian honours and well on the way to induction in a future Hall of Fame. Rejoice Demon fans!

* I have little doubt that Chris from Camberwell is the font of all knowledge on matters Melbourne but he did have me scurrying to Professor Google for a fact check on Andy Moniz-Wakefield and all that I could find about his origins was that he was recruited from Nightcliff, a team that’s located in Darwin which is more or less 1,290 kilometres (802 miles) away from Alice Springs but I suppose that’s close enough for a program styled “Midday Madness”.

The only knock I have on CFC is that he seems to struggle getting the players names right. Several times i've heard him call Fritsch "Bradley Fitz" and JVR "Van Rooyna" It just makes me cringe at times as he's on the radio often. Love his passion for MFC and all that but just try and get the names right so you don't sound like an imbecile.

Chris from Camberwell comes across as some sort of 'Milton the Monster' type mutant hybrid with a humouresque demonic twist. Concocted deep down in the Demonland laboratories. Contributors from the Demonland 'illuminati' who could be called to lend their 'bits' to this ungodly patch up.

Include: Special Robert because he is out there; Demonstone who 'talks' in riddles; daisycutter is a tram ride away; Redleg is well connected;  Uncle Bitters has the necessary thick hide;  picket fence for just a drop..., oops!!! ..., of his fervent deemania and Whispering Jack because he keeps banging on about... Chris from Camberwell.

All i know is if Chris is ever located and approached about being on a Demonland podcast the ratings and viewership will be through the roof.

Dwayne's antennas shoot straight up when he sees Chris from Camberwell's details displayed on his broadcast screen.

I know everyone might not agree with his content and accuracy of questioning, but you can't deny his passion for the MFC, Chris bleeds red and blue.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    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
