Welcome to Demonland: Paddy Cross
A nice MFC number, indeed (sustained us until '21' came along...) But his #41 ain't bad: one Frank 'Bluey' Adams sported it in his first two seasons. Go forth and multipremiership, Paddy!

2026 Season Launch: Monday 2nd March 2026
...and, in 2026, another Season Launch taking place merely hours after another forced? retirement announcement. Atmospheres: Compare and contrast.

Your inlandish view must be quite <cough> 'modest', BA?

On that subject, has anyone seen themselves, or others they know, in any of these videos? A nice little(?) curiosity layer to the Doctor's good work.

Luker Kentfield Knee Injury
Quite the winning* catch, then! *Wincing, even?

Luker Kentfield Knee Injury
At first glance I though this was a microphone, triggering wishful thinking regarding <insert 'preferred' commentator/interviewer>. Then I saw the light.

Luker Kentfield Knee Injury
Nathan Jones said he was in a lot of pain. Isn't it often said that the 'bad' knee injuries aren't so painful? So, maybe (🤞) 'not-so-bad' news?

2026 Injury List
Ummm... It was just announced by the Club, in its team selection item: Matt Jefferson will miss the game with GM of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson providing an update on the Demon. “Matt has unfortunately sustained a bone stress injury in his foot,” Richardson said. “We have taken a conservative approach and given him time to de-load. "Once he’s had that period of rest, we will then have a clearer picture of his return to play timeline.” No credit where no credit's due, Jon.

afl.com.auMembers make it a momentous AFLW seasonThe AFL is delighted to announce a new AFLW club membership record for the second consecutive year...and Melbourne one of the growers. Don't know if we hit the 7000 objective set for Season 10 (probably not) but still...

Looking forward to this now, @Dr. Gonzo: [From Wikipedia] "The wettest Melbourne winter since 1952 saw horrible conditions between Rounds 11 and 13 that produced several unusually low scores". Thanks for the great work!

Changes to the Brownlow Medal Voting
You might choke on 'Quintuple Brownlow Medallist, Nick Daicos', though? Unless, as you say, it's 'Quintuple Brownlow Medallist, Melbourne's Nick Daicos' in his 5 years with us as a free agent post his current contract.

Trivialissimo...
Yep, I think Kade has it! The Cockatoo-Collins brothers offered some hope, but they needed to play in #20 and #21, not their #30 and #31. Charlie Pagnoccolo's 17 letters came closest in his 1 MFC game, in #22. And one final, very famous, name: #14, 1925-32, IVOR WARNE-SMITH.

Trivialissimo...
@Demonstone has kept interested in this - one among, well, one... He's requested the reveal on all your (so, his...) behalfs. My apologies for letting this slip. The total number of letters in the given names and surnames of the players herein equals their playing number. Numbers were introduced in 1912 and BOBBY MONK got #9. He did also wear #5 and #16 over his 125-game career. But he kept the name! @deemoralizing67's unearthing of KADE KOLODJASHNIJ I think provides the highest number (16) there is likely to be!
