Would you? Please?

You are a clown. You've been proven flat out, 100% wrong time, and time, and time again...

And you're STILL trying to sell us this garbage. Until years from now a player at 192cm fails, and then you'll claim to be a genius, despite the dozens of success stories before them.

How does Y_M's crown feel on that noggin?

Your response alone shows that you don't understand. It's not about the ones that make it..its the ones that DON'T! There are hundreds of players that reached the heighest possible level as a junior in the tac cup, winning b+f's, all-australian selections etc yet didn't get picked up. The only possible reason is their height. No other logical reason why.

Your posts constantly contain illogical and erroneous things.

The only possible reason is you.

No other logical reason why your posts contain such tripe.

I rest your case.

Although, if we put insoles in Dylan Grimes' shoes, bumping him up to 193cm, could we be onto a winner??

Front runner for post of the year.

No other reason but height, hey?

Let me tell you something Freak. Do you think your "height" alone, enabled you to run over 16 a couple of times in the beep test which you've spruiked on this site recently?

Arrrnnt!!! Wrong answer.

It was your ability, skill, your will & desire, your application to training & determination (ie. and cue: enter Bailey's favourite word - competitiveness). That got you there.

I rest your case.

Oh yeah, indeed Jaded. ;) Indeed. Or take the original insole out and qualify him for a midfielder (reduce him to <191cm)....

Fair dinkum.


We'd better be careful we don't give those insoles to Cale Morton (unless it's to eat), because that would bump him up to 192 and then we'd have wasted a top draft pick. Hopefully all those foot/ankle issues Garland has had will keep him from growing the fatal 1cm, too.

Come to think of it, I'll bet the reason the club passed on Tom Swift was not so much a worry about his shoulder as a concern that he would grow that cm and end up a spud. And knowing our luck, even if we hadn't lost pick 4 in 1999, and had grabbed Pavlich that draft, he probably would have had a different diet and we wouldn't be talking about a 191cm superstar at all.

Nick Riewolt's sometimes fluffly, sometimes spiky but never 'down' hair? The extra 1cm he needs for glory. David Neitz went bald specifically to keep the lid down.

Make no mistake, that centimeter is one of the most critical factors in a player's potential. The only time those guys look good is when they are matched up on eachother directly, like Lloyd and Scarlett.

Bryan Stynes?

Yze's brother? (not sure how you spell his first name!)

And blokes who had great brothers in other clubs;

Glen Jakovich's brother?

Che Cockatoo-Collins' twin brothers?

Not sure why I submitted this post, but I had a laugh while doing it!

Glen's Brother??? Alan was a legend, just unfortunate he didn't have enough personal drive for the game to continue through. But we all loved him at the time, admit it or not!

You should be a stand up comic. Are you Rhino in disguise?

There were quite a few that were not so good

Wes Barrot (BILL)

Kelvin Mathews (LEIGH)

Tom Flower (ROBERT)

Don Whiiten (TED)

Don Nicholls (JOHN)

Even Father and Son

Alan Richardson (MATHEW)

John Lloyd (MATHEW)

Brian Brown (JOHNATHON)

Bryan Cousins (BEN)

There is of course many Fathers who were much better than their sons

Ken Fraser (Mark)

Ted Whitten (Ted Jnr)

Russell Ebert (Brett)

Barrie Robran (John and Mathew)

There is no guarrantee just because you carry a famous name

The logical reason is staring you in the face. They matured early. That's it.

Don't let the fact that you are clinging onto one of demonland's great howlers distract you from the fact that's staring you in the face.

You're wrong. It's very simple.


You rest your case?!

I'm sorry, I thought that was a figure of speech...

Case Closed.

If I hear objection and sustained one more time I am just going to scream!

Objection.

Sustained.

Aaaarrrrggghhh!!

Is that you Troy McClure ??

I wouldn't underestimate the pressure a star sibling puts on a club to draft a family member ala Shane Harvey at Nth Melbourne who they took over Aaron Davey if I remeber correct.

It would be a great story, if MFC drafted Dylan Grimes. But maybe the picks are to high? to grab him.

If he made it to the rookie draft then, he'd have to be a definate pick up for MFC.

Is that you Troy McClure ??

Why would Troy McClure sound like a lawyer?

Same actor, different dood


Lionel Hutz, people.

Phil Hartman's genius. Great comedian. Killed by his wife. Very sad.

Well, we lost the case. Your pizza's free.

No, we won.

That's OK, the box is empty.

Much props Mr. H.

I believe wood alcohol has to be poured on a curb? I don't really know.

Seems more sense to drink the stuff, but who am I to question other cultures?

Nice little article on family connections, with a bit on Dylan.

Connections almost the norm

Can't comment on whether he'd be a good fit for us or not, but its refreshing to hear for a change, that a player's preference is to be drafted by Melbourne.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
