From Lynda Carroll's 1998 book The Grand Old Flag here is a photo of the 1877 Melbourne Football Club team.

I reckon that is Jake Lever 4th from the left in the back row......spooky!

...and could that possibly be Bowey seated in the front row next to the chap with the bowler hat?

It could be a form of pareidolia where you perceive a particular image within another pattern or object and I guess with low quality, pixelated images it's easier to interpret in a familiar way. The Max one is a dead ringer though.

Yarra Park looks more like ye olde Australian bush, wonder if Edward Kelly is lurking nearby?  (Closet demons supporter gawn to hell). Classic J Taylor smokie from back of Mansfield way. What a physique, surely a ruck,  KP prospect with plenty of mongrel to boot.

Looks like Robbie Flower, bottom row third from left. Zac Toohey sitting next to him, and Harry Potter sitting next to him.

This is quite fun.

Typical of Demonland. Langdon has been mis-spelled as Longden

That's how they pronounced it back then.

Jeremy Howe sitting in front row…..sneaky

Is the guy in the suit holding handcuffs? Must have heard that new team with the jailbird stripes was sniffing around Jeremy...

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
