    Roger Mellie is inspired by 'Roger Mellie the Man on the Telly' a character from Viz magazine. 30 years ago I thought it (the magazine more so than the RM character) was pretty funny, not so much now. I probably should change my name, but I wouldn't want other posters to lose sleep over where Roger went.

    I used to subscribe to Viz. I used to find it really funny, but it is kinda the same joke/s.

    Perhaps change to one of the other Viz characters? Sid the Sexist, Mr Logic or Finbarr Saunders?

    And two worthy players at that. I was at Dean’s final match (Round 23 vs. Syd) and although we were there to cheer on the Saints, for us it was pretty much the Dean show. I reckon we gave him more love than the Saints supporters did. 😂

    So to change your username you go into your profile and next to your avi is a little symbol like this ⚙️. You click on that and… change away!

    It’s a little hard to spot so here’s a pic of it…

    BUT…

    Choose wisely since you have to wait a month before you can change it again. It’s more important than naming your kid. Coz with your kid you can change it the next day if you want, or anytime. (Looking at you, Gryan Miers’ parents).
     

    Thanks for the answer. I thought you had to have a certain number of posts or something.

    Most of them wouldn't get through the censor - Terry and Cockney etc.

    Maybe Biffa Bacon could be next on the menu? Probably best left in the 80's.

    PS. Billy the Fish sucked

    Was really annoyed at the end of 2002 that we let a genuinely good player in Stephen Powell go to St Kilda due to a contract dispute. IIRC he was picked up in the pre season draft so we didn’t even get any compo for him. Powell then became a very good player for St Kilda including playing in all their finals from 04-06.

    He only played 2 seasons for us (2000 and 2002) but he was key cog in our midfield as a goal kicking mid. Also kicked 10 goals in the 2000 finals series.

    Yes not one of our better efforts. Then again until the last 5-6 years we have been less than wonderful more often that not.

    Now that Dean and Jack no longer play AfL it might be time to change my username. What are the guidelines for doing so. 

    Not a guideline, but a suggestion you may well have now worked out for yourself. Don't choose a name that's linked to a current player. 

    I'm still quite surprised that DeeSpencer hasn't changed his name given he was quick to do so after his previous nom de plumes were made redundant by the departures of Matthew Bate and Alexis Georgiou. Perhaps I should give him the benefit of the doubt and accept that DeeSpencer was a name derived from Stuart, not Jake.

    True LDvC although mine has proven remarkably durable after a couple of tricky seasons involving LJ and Jeremy Howe

    Will always remember the young cocky Luke Hodge getting in his face in his 1st or 2nd year.
    Powell gave him a biatch slap Nate Diaz would've been proud of.
    He was a tough uncompromising footballer not about to take rubbish from a snotbag kid.

    Pretty sure Powell got a week or 2 for it but I'm sure Hodge learnt his lesson.
    You don't fork with Stephen Powell.

    Getting back to the dominant storyline in this thread, I recall those dark days of the 1970s when watching Melbourne play on a Saturday afternoon was a pretty dismal experience. On the other hand, music of that time was a great joy. I've recently revisited what was probably called prog-rock in those days listening to a lot of Jethro Tull, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield, EL&P (Emerson, Lake and Palmer), and the Alan Parsons Project. I'd forgotten how enjoyable their music was.

    For the uninitiated, I recommend Bouree, Locomotive Breath and Aqualung from Jethro Tull, the Six Wives of Henry VIII by Rick Wakeman, Fanfare for the Common Man from EL&P, and, of course, the timeless Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield.

    Yes, but getting back to the original storyline in this thread, La Dee-vina Comedia, I always say your name (in my head) with a thick Italian accent. Think, Mario Bros. But that’s probs only coz I’m an uncultured ditz. 😆

    My preference would be that my name is pronounced with true Italian purity, given it is claimed that proper Italian is based on the work of my author, Dante Alighieri. I think of him as the Christian Petracca of 14th century Italian poetry.

    Or not.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
