It's about to hit the shelves. Here is a sneak preview of their chapter about The Teague Train. Anybody who doesn't feel a little sense of schadenfreude at Carlton's plight would be Lyon. .

Yep, that's an eyebrow-raising suggestion that I'm not even sure is permitted under the rules.

Referring to the "games experience named on the injury list"? If so, add up the number of career games played by those players on the injury list and there's your total. In our case, it consists primarily of Tomlinson (160 odd) and Hunt (90 odd) plus Marty Hore's few.

You have no defence with spelling like that!

Hassa wasn't originally from Western Australia, having grown up in Merbein in the Sunraysia region and being recruited from Rutherglen where he'd been transferred with his work. He left Melbourne to coach South Fremantle in 1969. Like you martin, I was shattered as Hassa was my hero!

Think you'll find that's a Range Rover in the cartoon.

Not quite true. Demonwiki tells me that 13 (!) players wore that number before Wayne Gordon but the number was not used between 1954 and 1974 because legendary Secretary Jim Cardwell thought it was unlucky. After Gordon's untimely death in 1983, the number was retired until 1989 when it was worn by Tommy Kavanagh, son of Brent Crosswell.

No, it rots from the guts. All that bacteria, you see.

I am deeply saddened and verging on devastation at the news of Charlie Watts' death. As my username suggests, the two greatest loves of my life have always been Melbourne Football Club and The Rolling Stones. He had already pulled out of the Stones North American tour this year but I now think the band cannot continue on after 60 years together. This is a black day for me. R.I.P. Charlie.

Whatever tattoo you choose, make sure it's one that you won't have second thoughts about later on.

I don't think Max will be the one with two legs up.

It's less than one kick per game. Nothing to get upset about, folks.

I'd be confident that Jaded is neither a Pratt nor a prat.

You'd look good with a "K" on one butt cheek and a "z" on the other. When you bend over, it'll spell "Koz".

Hard to believe anybody would be dumb enough to pay $300 for a piece of crap like that.

Is it compulsory for makers of such videos to have woeful music playing under the footage? FFS!

Maybe the other clubs realise he'll be going to Melbourne as a father-son so no point in inviting him.

Count the Gabba, Carrara and Cairns out then. They don't come any more dense than Queenslanders.

I hope the "Woo hoo!" guy gets a seat near a ground microphone again.

Not as nervous as me and thousands of other Melbourne fans! It was the longest, most agonising few seconds of my life until the ball sailed through and the sustained hootin' and hollerin' began in my lounge room.

The Brownlow, Norm Smith, Premiership and Rising Star would make it a glorious Quadrella.

I was only seven, living in a country town and more interested in the weekly ritual of the Saturday afternoon matinee than football and it was at the cinema where they showed cartoons (yay!) and Cinesound newsreels (boring) before the movie that one day featured some colour film footage of Melbourne v Collingwood that so enchanted me that I immediately fell in love with our magnificent jumper and my allegiance was founded. We didn't even have a TV in the house and, alas, I don't remember the Premiership and I have no memory of Ron Barassi playing for Melbourne. I started following the Demons in earnest in 1965 with Hassa Mann as my hero and it was his number 29 that I had my mother sew onto the back of my first Melbourne footy jumper.

Great highlights and some wonderful memories of a superb season there. I'd recommend that you mute the sound unless you're a fan of bland, annoying elevator muzak.

"Marks it at its highest point". No, that would be metres up in the air. Marks it with arms up at full stretch is more accurate.

Dwayne has had it in for Melbourne for a long, long time. I'm pretty sure that at one stage his employer (might have been K-Rock) even ordered him to tone down the relentless, over the top Demon bashing comments.
