Never seen a Valvoline tat WCW but each to their own. What’s the prize?

Ok, while we’re waiting for Timothy Redden A’Blew to throw another Tuesday Time-Waster at us, I offer this quickie…

I have a tattoo that comprises a black outline with a small section of solid colours, those being red and blue. It’s not a Dees tattoo but the red and blue are the exact same shades as ours. Not our home strip navy blue, but one of our away/clash strips blue (royal blue).

It is an iconic image. Instantly recognised the world over. It is never reproduced with any colours other than the red and the blue. Unless there’s some fool out there who dares to mess with a classic. 
Can you guess what I have tattooed on my person?

You’ll find out if/when you guess correctly. 😉 


A clue: while the red and blue part jumps out at you, so to speak, they are only about 10% of the image space. The red and blue are together and are a solid (filled-in) element. 

Ah, so it's not Domino's! (My shock-face reaction was to a tattoo of same, not the product. To pizza, of any persuasion, I too am partial. Indeed, fully!) Nothing from me just yet, then, WCW; you have the floor.

 

Ok, big clue comin’ atchya…

It’s got to do with music. 

 

Solved 😍 (and what an incredible tatt, that would be).

Another clue (coz this was meant to be a quickie):

 it’s got to do with a British musician who passed away, breaking my heart in the process, in 2016 aka annus horribilis. 
Surely that gives it away (?)

That’s it!

Well done FND! Your prize?

My love and best wishes. How’s that for a prize? You’re welcome!

And it’s non-transferable too, btw. 😁


To keep the quiz theme going, go back to the magnificent cover of Sgt Peppers. There are four people in that artwork who are still alive. Who are they? I'll give you two of them...Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (both there twice). So, who are the other two?

Um, I think I pipped him? But, by our mutual 'Likes', I think we're happy to share?!

All good, it’s on my arm. 😊

Whoever it is, that lad’s insane!

 

Next, then - these twenty-three MFC men select themselves. Where's the 'tether'? (PM me)

John Lord, Hassa Mann, Ken Emselle, Bob Gormly, Ted Lees, John Toll, Darryl Schwarz, Peter Weekes, Greg Wells, Ray Carr, Stephen Kerley, Kim Smith, John Tossol, Steven Stretch, Mark Bradly, Mark Jamar, Nick Smith, Kyle Cheney, Jack Watts, Max Gawn, Mitch Clisby, Ben Kennedy, Tim Smith.

The squad of 23 is sufficient for a modern team but I doubt they'd compete; several have single-figure games tallies, and they wouldn't have all positions covered, I'd say. But it is a unique squad, consisting of players who debuted with the Dees since my childhood second favourite player, John Lord RIP, himself debuted. For nothing other than convenience, I've listed them in debut date order.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
