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!

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
