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.

Looks like James Sicily was a demon back then.

I thought Clarry - the ears have it. Also looks like he was pre-emptively self-censoring his current 'do'...

 

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.

The other fan sites can't touch us for things intellectual!

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.

Demonland is such a broad church from the sacred to the profane.

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

That's how they pronounced it back then.


Zelig!

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...

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
