If "Dipper was coming for me at 100km/h I'd be four rows back in the stand.

hopefully before but definitely after

    This post broke my head. He was definitely not a ruckman, was way skinnier than Embley (though I concede he played the similar "winger" role) and don't think he ever played full back - you might be thinking of Tony Campbell or Johnny Howat.

    Yeah, he did pinch hit there a few times, and well..

    I'm not sure what you are suggesting here (that Tom is not Tiger's biological son?) I'm pretty sure Tom was his biological son but with a different surname because it's either his mother's or his step-father's.

    His mother and Tiger never spoke much but yes ,I think we got him as a father/ son and he played a few games for us .

    I'm not suggesting anything about legitimacy or any of that .

    However.

    Prince Harry/Will Carling. Get one of those ginger hairs to the DNA lab for the sake of the throne!

    Interesting we have a lightly framed wing man/defender that plays for MFC /Casey now

    likes a hanger and gets maligned for being soft maybe the game has changed so much that this type of player is not as valued.

    These days though this type of player is also protected

    We also had a lightly framed wingman in the past who liked a hanger

    difference being that Flower had no regard for his own safety.

    How good would Flower be these days

    I guess you are referring to Cale Morton deesrule, and I agree they could be similar type players (or at least add similar value to the team). For that to happen though, Cale would need to be prepared to get his hands dirty far more often, ramp up the effectiveness of his disposal to around the 80% mark and improve his decision making under pressure enormously. Do-able? Maybe, but unlikely imo.

    Cale Morton ........ Steven Stretch...hmmmmmm

    Back to the drawing board on that one

    I always thought Daniel Ward's running style was reminiscent. Even a touch of the Keith Greiggs in running style, beatutifully balanced, very sure footed, very reliable skills. Definitely an outside player, not great at the contested ball which probably stopped him being rated with the very best.

    Unfortunately having a gun footballer for a dad doesn't guarantee a player.

    The great RDB has at least one son as far as I remember - never mentioned as a potential footballer, other than in the press release the day he was born!!

    Barassi's son played Under 19's for North Melbourne.

    Flower's son played for Eastern Ranges and Sandringham in '02.

    Doesn't Garry Lyon have 2 sons? They'd be getting close to 18 now, wouldn't they? Does anyone know if they play footy/are any good?

    Garry has 3 sons. Youngest would be about 13 with other 2 older.

    Long term, Davey has 3 or 4 boys now.

    All we need is for 1 to be gun, but we might be lucky and get a few...

    Dees for flag in 2034, and we'll celebrate with chocolate coated ants.

    Davey has 1 son with twin sons on the way.

    • 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.
