    No ☹️
    Which is unfortunate because he was playing for a charity and the other contestants weren’t. He had Neita in the audience as his person you bring along with you and he was playing for the MND charity Daniher Drive which I think he and Neita and some other past players founded.

    I really liked Rigga when he played for Dees, saw him and Neita on Tipping Point as well. We were just talking about that group of players, have we ever had a nicer bunch of kids at the club at the same time before or since, of course time will tell with our current bunch but we don’t really know them yet.😁💕

    Damn I worked on last season of Tipping Point, I 100% would've made sure to get a pic with him and Neita if I'd worked on that show day!

    Fun show, good people all throughout.

    No "Leon Chelly"? Maybe it's just the Italian names but I always think of one and am reminded of the other. I'm pretty sure one commentator got confused once and thought Andrew Leoncelli's surname was just Chelly. (And of course there have been other names like that such as "Mark-who", the 80s Carlton player) I'm pretty sure Leoncelli was on TV in recent years too as a now real estate agent discussing the market( or something) on maybe A Current Affair

    I was babysitting my friend’s 4yo boy and we were flicking through a footy mag and he pointed to a pic of Nic Naitanui and said, “who’s that?” I said, “That’s Nic Naitanui.” He looked puzzled, took another look at the pic then asked, “but where’s Nat and Nui?” 😅

    I know there's more names like that. But for the life of me I can't remember exact names. And it wasso amusing in primary school that there was a Gary Sidebottom ...his wasn't even made of steel! 😁

    Side(bottom?)-tracking even further, there's the odd player who must have had Rev. Spooner officiating at their christening!

    Dom Tyson?

    Years ago someone wrote into the Footy Show’s Sam’s Mailbag segment asking if Dickfos was any relation to Michael Voss 😅

     

    Fun Fact: the bearer of our biggest flag in the cheer squad, a crazy passionate Dees diehard named Dylan Sidebottom is a cousin of Steele’s.
    And another very involved cheer squad member has a mother-in-law named Shaz and she’s the leader of the Bulldogs cheer squad. Too much sleeping with the enemy for mine. 🤣

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
