Demonstone

That player's identity has now been revealed.

The first group that Paul Kelly was in the late 70s was an outfit called The High Rise Bombers. It might be time to get the band back together again.

I'm pretty sure the criterion in those days was the father playing 50 games at the club, which was later increased to 100 by the League. Jonathon Brown was recruited as a father-son by Brisbane in 1999 despite his father Brian having played only 51 games for Fitzroy. Under those rules, Kavanagh couldn't have been taken as a father-son by Melbourne and it would appear that neither Carlton nor North were interested in him despite him being eligible under the 50 game rule.

Just replace the trident with the Cup!

Michael Clark, who only played the one game, is the son of Denis. However, I'm not sure he was taken as a father-son. edit: A quick check of Demonwiki reveals no fewer than 31 Melbourne players whose fathers also played for the mighty Demons.

He's shaping up as our next Jordan, Bradshaw or Trengrove. There's no "n" in Wilmot.

Unfortunately for Riv the first, he left Melbourne at the end of 2012 and thus missed Geelong's flags.

Australia Post is entirely unpredictable at the moment. I bought an item from a Sydney eBay seller a week ago and received the parcel in regional Victoria today.

Sounds like the Hawthorn members said far Kew.

Yes, mate. None of it interests me in the slightest.

I strongly suspect that I'm the only Demonlander who hasn't spent a brass razoo on merchandise or memorabilia and have no intention of doing so. I watched the game and will always have that experience and the joyous memory of our triumph. Should that memory ever need refreshing, there is no shortage of replays and highlights on the internet to watch.

I've still got an item of clothing from 2000 that fits me perfectly. It's a very nice scarf, too.

Surely his nickname is "Motorhead".

Yes, it looks very healthy. He's even got some growing in the gutter!

Given that he served as Premier of Tasmania, you'd have to say so. However, Brian Dixon served 18 years in the Victorian Government after being elected in 1964 while still playing for Melbourne. I can't imagine that happening these days! Dixon was probably best remembered for introducing the "Life. Be In It." campaign while he was the Minister for Youth, Sport & Recreation.

WoJu!

Geez, keep your shirt on bub. 1. I didn't report it, SEN did. I just posted a link to their article. 2. The facts are as stated in the SEN article. No "blasphemy" was committed. 3. I know. I never criticised the club. I think you might need to go a have a Bex and a nice lie-down before you blow a gasket.

In racing parlance, prefer others.

Joyce Brown, who coached Australia in netball with phenomenal success (and is the mother of former Carlton player Fraser Brown) was at one stage in the 90s being touted as a serious candidate for coaching an AFL team.

How precious of you, seeing as you're the one who responded to a perfectly reasonable post about people working together and doing the right thing to minimise the chances of an outbreak happening again and twisted it into a vehicle for you to attack Daniel Andrews and the way the pandemic had been managed. You deserved to be face-palmed for hijacking the thread to suit your own political bias when the initial comment that raised your hackles was merely about everybody co-operating and following protocols for the sake of us all and taking responsibility for their own actions.

His son Stephen also played for Melbourne and later served on the Board.

I'll say it again and, this time, perhaps move your lips and read slowly in an effort to understand. I'm talking about the possibility of the recent re-opening being jeopardised by people not observing the COVID compliance practices and the anticipated kneejerk response to blame the Government if such slackness were to cause a setback in our progress towards something approaching normality.
