FORUM 'HEROES'



Recommended Posts

On a wet winter's afternoon in Perth with nothing better to do I have found at least 12 of our posters who have made the 150 Heroes list. Donny Williams, Yze Magic, Stewie Spencer, Bobby McKenzie, Maurie Lithen, Bay Riffin, Cameron the Bruce, Green N Juice, Neita 3000, Biffinator, do it 4 robbie and Neitaaa. I am sure I have missed a few so feel free to add to my list. Who knows, we may have 150!

Some of Melbourne's great players including Hassa Mann, Noel McMahen and Anthony McDonald plus CEO Steve Harris, Club Director Peter Dohrmann, Mike Sheahan and club historian Lynda Carroll.

Bobby - thanks for the mention. While I visit the site everyday, I rarely post as there are people here who know far more about football than what I do.

For what little I am worth, I am a Bay 13 Gladiator.

I believe this is also true of Yze Magic, though I am still trying to work out what nom de guerre he is using in his battle against the heathen. At his best he is a supreme troll.

IMO, the one unmissable thread every week is JB's 3 word analysis and the subsequent responses.

So who out of the illustrious selection panel was responsible for picking Paul Hopgood over other legends such as Jakovich? Anthony McDonald maybe? Thats still the most mystifying selection of the whole 150.

There was significant discussion re: Jackovich on this board and over at Demonology.

IIRC, Jackovich didn't make the criteria for minimum games. In case you're wondering, I think this was waived for some players from long ago - some due to war interrupting/ending careers.

We had Wheels on our table at the dinner and everyone let him know how stiff (I reckon insulted) he was not to be included in the list....

Just noticed the name Don Cordner on the forum. Add his name to my list. Any others that I've missed?

Of course Peter Marquis made the list and was a great player indeed. Sorry 'pitmaster', I didn't pick up Peter Marquis from your nickname. 14 now. Join the club!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
