fatmanblues

is there radio coverage?

Was at training for about an hour - first time ever - and to me we looked sharp but i will leave the training report to the experts. I took some photo's on my iphone - how do i transfer and attach? Apologies i am a newbie at most of this stuff!!!

The Fatman will be at his first ever training session tomorrow in support of this GREAT club - Go Dees

Paid up - lifetime member - yeah And i have just racked up 21 years in a row as a member of the Dees - yeah again

Russell "Rhino" Richards - only played 80 odd games and left the game at age 25 - was a ripper with great dash of the half back flank and you never knew where the ball was going to go

Gary Dempsey - much maligned

As John McInroe would say - You cannot be serious. Demon supporters need to make a stand and BE THERE

Today's weather in Melbourne................

Davey may have shown some sign's but he also was timid on at least two occasions during the third qtr.

Travis Johnstone joins Chelsea Heights Football Club Chelsea Heights Football Club is extremely pleased to announce that former AFL star and No1 draft pick Travis Johnstone will become its Number 1 ticket-holder for 2012, and will represent the club this week against Highett in its first home game for the year. Johnstone was the first selection in the 1997 AFL Draft and played 209 games, kicking 135 goals. In 2002 he finished equal fourth in Brownlow Medal voting, and in 2005 he won the the Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal (Melbourne’s Best and Fairest Award), leading the AFL in total kicks. Johnstone produced a career-high 42 disposals in what would be his final game for the Demons in round 22 against Carlton, before migrating north to Brisbane Lions where he played 49 games. The Johnstone name has a rich history in the local area and at the Chelsea Heights Football Club. Travis’s grandfather Norm was recruited from Chelsea to Fitzroy where he became a legend and was named in the club’s Team of the Century as an on-baller. His father, Jim, coached Chelsea Heights to the Division 3 Premiership in 1995, until 1997 when Travis was drafted, while his uncle, Grant, was Chelsea Heights’ President during the same period. Chelsea Heights supporters and football enthusiasts in general should get down to Beazley Reserve this Saturday at 2pm to enjoy what should be a great day’s football and the continuation of a great family tradition in Demon colours.

I am trying to word this correctly and hope it comes out that way. Let's not say "do it for Jimmy" as a mantra for motivation but rather a motivational mantra of "Whatever it Takes"

An auld Irish toast to Jimmy Stynes: "May you be half-an-hour in heaven before the Devil knows your dead!". I'll be having Guinness or two tonight in the great man's honour. RIP Jimmy Stynes

I too buy a full MFC membership which is a straight donation as I am also an MCC member. Buying a full MFC membership as an MCC member also gives me ONE junior MFC membership for free. To date I have used the junior MFC for my youngest daughter. From next season she will be too old for the junior membership. (Then like her two older siblings, she will become a concession MFC member). Will I forego the junior membership - NO. I will make sure the junior MFC membership goes to a budding junior Demon supporter. I will get 'junior' on board barracking for the mighty Dees at a young age. This is a chance to increase our membership numbers (but not necessarily dollars) - and it may even entice the parent(s) of 'junior' to become an MFC member. So my point is - if you are a full MFC/MCC member, then make sure you get the free junior membership and sign up a budding Demon supporter. Maybe the Football Club could identify those full MFC/MCC members who have not taken up the free junior membership and urge the full MFC/MCC member to sign up a budding Demon supporter.

Why no fingers crossed for the Scull?
