Demon Cheersquad, Late 80's
He sits in the AFL Members. I remember the guy with the light-blue hoody. I have the "Demon Attack" season review video from 1994 and he's always in the replays. He was cheersquad leader until 2000 I think, or thereabouts. Then when our cheersquad moved to behind the goals he had a small group in the Olympic Stand for a few games, then they disappeared.

The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan
The most impressive thing is that he has rarely if ever had a clear, direct pass to him on the chest on the lead. He often cracks it and teammates who bomb it in long or too short. Most of his marks have been contested which says a lot because once we get the decent delivery we at least know he will still make an effort to make a contest when there isn't an opportunity for a clear mark.

Added Friday night, more so because we haven't played a Friday hight match for three years, and haven't won one for four.- The Ollie Whines Lounge
Going to be a great player for a long time. Not sure he'll make that transition into greatness but he's the kind of player that will average 90-100 SC points his whole career. He's the second coming of Nathan Jones. Exactly what we needed. What a colossal [censored] up.- When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
