This was on SEN this morning so I thought it would be a good one to borrow.

I'll get the ball rolling by going back in time to a sensational half back linefrom the early 70's

Davis - Hardeman - Sullivan

Frank Davis was dour tight defender and Sullivan had that little bit of flair. Hardeman was sensational He made the All Australian team in 1972 but they selected him at CHF because Peter Knights had a lock on the CHB position. Amazingly he was only 187cm.

 

I am a bit younger than you I think so mine would be something like Farmer, Neitz and Robbo. All great to watch and all great players.

 

Sedat Sir - Justin Charles - James Manson

Wasn't the greatest line, but put the fear in to most, and put doubt in the minds of our American tourists whether they should come and see a game of Ausie Rules.


How's this for a centre line. Johnson, Wilson and Flower.

Top shelf, but I reckon Brian Dixon, Hassa Mann and Bluey Adams would give them a run for their money.

You have warmed my heart with that Deeoldfart.

Great days!

I probably have this all wrong as my memory of the 60's is very cloudy (yes, I really was there), but I had the feeling Dixon, Alves and Bourke made up a centre line at one point (although on checking Wiki, there is no mention of Bourke ever taking a wing possy - just forward and back)... but if such a centre line did exist, and in my own mind I'm pretty certain it did, then that for me was it!

You are testing my memory but I do not remember Bourke ever playing across the centre line.

You're probably right OD... so I'm wondering who was on the other wing. Dixon still stands out in my mind as one of the greatest ever to play that position.

I cannot remember hardtack

I would have thought Brian Dixon would have been gone by the time Alves started.

Without looking up records I thought they were from two different eras.

Alves was a 70's player and Dixon would have been gone by then I think.

There may have been a small cross over but I doubt it.

But I would not bet on that.

No doubt someone with a better memory of the time will straighten it out.

PS Up Date Alves started in 1965 so there was probably a couple of years that they played together.

Jakovich....Schwartz.....Lyon....

It cant be beaten IMO other than previous eras who won flags maybe which I was not born for..Even then they didnt have one of the

fastest goal machines ever in Jako.

Freak & Star & Class all in one forward line. Pretty sure it was 94.

I can remember the players - but cant remember that line - all three boys on the full forward line


We had two great lines, one after the other back in 98'.

HF: Lyon, Schwarz, Robertson

FF: Smith, Neitz, Farmer

OUT- Smith

In - Yze

I remember reading an article during the Daniher era with the headline The Bagmen.

We had the most forwards in the league who had kicked 5 or more goals in a game.

And still we could not bag a flag!

Flower , Wells , Alves was a very good line .

 

Very undemon like this

Bluey McKenna, Glen Jakovich, John Worsfold

Half back line that was just awesome, very very solid, hard straight line runners loved watching those 3 back in the 90's. Played most of my footy at half back/ on ball tried to emulate Bluey, woosha and T Viney - Hard boys that our current crop needs to watch play

Another reason why throwing the kitchen sink at Cloke is the wrong plan given we already have Clarke. But i digress from another thread...

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
