A mate who is a WCE fan asked me today if there were any other Melbourne players besides David Neitz to have played 300 games. My answer was 'NO'. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong here? I did think of Norm Smith, but I don't think he played that many. Over to you my fellow posters!

    No we don't unfortunately. :mellow:

    David Neitz is the only player so far. And he deserved to! :)

    Adem Yze could of.....but didn't. :unsure:

    Hopefully Brad Green or somebody else can get to 300 games? :(

    I don't think James McDonald and Russell Robertson will make it to 300....but you never know.

    No offense to Green but I hope he doesn't make it. It would indicate that we, as a team haven't evolved enough. He isn't in the class of a Harvey or Crawford, players who played past their prime but still contributed to winning sides.

    a lot of it comes down to playing finals.

    brock currently has 86 and is 23. another 8 year (31) at 20 games per year gets him 250.

    jones has 61 games and is yet to turn 22, could notch up the 250.

    bartram has 52 games and is just 21, could be a candidate if he gets back into the team and stays around.

    green as just turned 28 and has 193. if he plays another 4 years the 250 is available. if we play finals in those four years, he could get to 280 pretty easily by the time he is 32.

    other than those players, not many older players have the chance to get there, rivers, davey, miller, mcdonald, robbo, wheelan will all drop short.

    younger players ie frawley, grimes could get there but it is way to early to tell.

    this will all change of course if the afl introduces a 26 game season, like they are discussing.

    ps while etting this info, found the danny hughes page, where they have somehow managed to link his stats in with the old danny hughes, played his first season aged 1 apparently? haha

    Thanks for the feedback and discussion guys! 'Yes, Yes, Yes, NO'. Sounds like the Vicar of Dibley doesn't it? It would be good if someone like Cale could make it to the big 300.

    I find it staggering that second to Neitz is Flower on 272.

    Seems crazy we haven't had more players up towards 300 - sort of echoes us never having a Century goalscorer

    Sad to say that the oldest footy club has only 1 300 gamer, and no century goal kicker.

    BAM! I never, ever tire of using this argument against my Crows-supporting mates. There is no comeback!

    One this century would be nice to brag about though :P

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
