There seems to be a little confusion as to what these little three supreme numbers mean. For first-time visitors, or long time footy fans who have been asking themselves the question 'Who is 426?', then let us help you out.
It has been explained numerous times by Melbourne fans, so for this reason I will give one reason. And one reason only.
Nick Smith. Debuted way back in 2003, and has played 2 outstanding games since. Yet to kick a goal, we are all waiting for the day when our Messiah will finally be recalled to the Dees' side to reclaim his rightful spot at CHF.
'426' has been injured for most (if not all) of his footballing career, and over the years it seems that whenever he has been listed in the paper as injured, he is always four-to-six weeks away, hence 426. Of late, he has been uninjured and playing solid football for the Zebs, in the hope that he can burst through back into the AFL. We all have faith that he can do so, but we do not select this side. If we did, he'd be in without the blink of an eye.
If anyone has any questions, or important information for our uninformed brothers and sisters out there, please place them it here. For the rest of us, this can be our shrine. God knows this place will be rocking when he gets called back up one day.
Long live, 426.
