Flower , Wells , Alves was a very good line .

Great call. Each player on that line was the best or 2nd best in the league in their position at that time. Unfortunately the rest of the team were not so talented

Wells was brilliant - 130 Brownlow votes . About 20 shy of the great Flower . I can't remember Wells playing too many bad games . Alves wasn't far short either . Pity we didn't have a much of a forward line in those days though we did have a few goers up forward . Biffo had a go !

Not exactly lines, but these groups were pretty good:

94 spine: Lyon, Schwarz, Stynes, Neitz, Wight

94 half back line: Prymke, Neitz, B. Lovett

94 forward line that contained: Schwarz, Lyon, Charles, Lovell, Pike (all at their best)

98 forward line that contained: Lyon, Neitz, Schwarz, Farmer, Robertson and a resting Jeff White.

The 98 side was the best Melbourne side I've ever seen. I was too young to remember the late 80s early 90s though.

Ahh ..... the 'stolen' premiership, but oh so satisfying for that very reason.

The '48 win might be a 'stolen' one as well . The Bombers kicked 7.27 to our 10.9 in the 1st 'drawn' Grand Final' . Of course , we won the replay quite comfortably in the end by 39pts .

I can't quite get last Saturday nights win out of my system yet ! It's always nice to rub Essendon's nose in it . They still can't kick straight .

Brock's pace can be deceptive, sometimes he's slower than he looks!
