    "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.

    well we've got him back over in the West at the MIGHT ROYALS and will get to watch the legend every week ...

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
