haha wat about this

Allen Jakovich

He is my all-time favourite Melbourne player. You never knew what he was going to do, he was just electrifying. He’d get the crowd going, took amazing grabs and kicked great goals. He did the impossible and I just loved him. I tried to ring him one day, I looked him up in the phone book but I didn’t get to speak to him as there were a lot of Jakovichs in the book. It’d be good to meet him one day though.

stalker much?

I don’t think he plays his best footy at half-back - I think he plays best at half-forward - but I had to fit him into my best 22 somewhere. He’s a utility who can play at both ends of the ground. Cam is a complete professional and has been a consistent player over the last 10 years.

Interesting.

I look forward to Frawley or Warnock taking Nicho's spot in the team.

Also how damn good were some of the forwards we've had over the years from the mid 90's to mid 00's, as shown by that forward line.

Sean Wight was one of the most underated players to ever put an AFL jumper on. Watched him hold Ablett goalless (he may have kicked one when Wight came off for a spell) in his run away coleman medal winning year. Super smart player, with the ability to wear his players down on every forward entry. If you kick goals on Sean, you bloody well earned them!

Big Nic at Fullback? This must have been when beamer was too busy with the ladies to watch the full 4 quarters of footy. Love big Nic, but doesn't rank as the best FB over the past few decades.

Brett and his brother Glenn....

Yeah. I picked that up, too. To my knowledge, they weren't related. (But, loved 'em both! Glenn was another of a long list that wasa cruelled by injury just when he was hitting his straps, and we therefore missed seeing him complete a stellar career!)

But, nice to see Beamer's thoughts on the team he's always loved. And, nice to have the unique perspective of a present day player who also grew up loving the team.

Well done, Beamer! You're special!

    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
