[Fishfinger]

I can see by this thread that the Nth Melbourne fans are on the money - nobody cares about them. 

3. Schimma not right, so how about John Dugdale or Noel Teasdale? Before my time of course. 


ps Still amused the Greig answer was correct. He stole his other Brownlow off Leigh Matthews.    Wearing your ankle supports on the outside of your socks must've got you votes from the umpire before you even got a kick.
