    "This interesting and rare surname, found widely recorded in Gloucestershire, is the Anglicized form of a Dutch name which may have arrived in England at two periods in English history. Firstly, it may have arrived in Gloucestershire when Edward 111 brought Flemish weavers over to teach their craft to the English, with many settling in the Cotswolds. More likely however, the name followed later from Holland due to the religious persecution of French Huguenots, by the Duke of Alba who suppressed the Protestant revolt in the Netherlands (1567 - 1572), and who fled to nearby countries."

    And jcb, I'd let go of the Nasher bashing. You're not exactly covering yourself in glory.

    Nasher is clearly a racist. He obviously hates all anglicised dutch aboriginal Turks. What a shameless racist.

    Thanks for the surname history. Interesting.

    Agree on jcb too.

    Les Bian is a standout, very skillfull, hard at it backman,,,,,,

    True story. There was a L.Behan played for Melb U19's in 60's and went on to be a start at Port Melbourne

    Unfortunately 'L' was a Lance not Les but say L. Behan quick enough and it's close enough.

    Let's not be mistaken. Yes it is an awesome name but Fred-Dee is also an awesome player. I know, I go to the EP games. He was the WAFL Rising Star for the 2011 season, is a great kick, makes quick and accurate decisions, goes in hard, appears to be well liked by his peers and from some of the examples I have seen, too brave for his own well being.

    If you don't want him in Demonland we will surely take him back with open arms at the Royals ... if he doesn't go elsewhere in the AFL ....

    Lance was his brother who played for Fitzroy, the one we had was Brendan.

    Lance also played for Richmond.

    Brendan's potential was highly touted when he first came to Melbourne but he struggled to get a senior game.

    He became a star player with Port Melbourne in the mid 70s.

    Off the field, he formed a partnership with Malcolm Speed in a legal practice. Speed was involved in basketball and later became famous in cricket administration.

    I don't think so.

    Was he picked up anywhere?

    Pity - the name alone would draw crowds ;-)

  • Quote

    I reserve the right to irrationally hate Leigh Williams for taking Clutterbuck's spot.

    Unless LW turns out to be good then I'll do the most ridiculous about face in history.

  • Quote

    To make up for the lack of a silly first name I insist he becomes Leigh Von Clutterbuck, then we're square.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
