Melbourne Football Club on Wikipedia

Bored at work today which lead me to look up various things on Wikipedia including the Melbourne Football Club. The website provides quite a good history of our club.

Couldn't help but laugh at the 2007 section though:

2007 is shaping up as a poor season for the Demons, with Melbourne losing its first four matches. It has been widely tipped that Daniher's contract will not be renewed at the end of the season. The Demons have suffered numerous injuries and their fate appears to rest with highly skilled players like Nathan Carroll (the outstanding fullback of the competition), Daniel Ward (who is known for his pin-point accuracy in passing the ball by foot), perpetual Brownlow medal contender, Nathan D. Brown (one of the fastest players in the competition), the "Coleman-esque" goal-scoring sensation, Lynden Dunn, and Mark Jamar, the tap-ruckman extraordinaire (who recorded an unbelievable ONE whole hit-out in Melbourne's round 6, 2007 match against the Sydney Swans).

At least they got the Daniher contract part right. Is anyone at Demonland responsible for the section?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
