All time Favorite Backmen at MFC

Featured Replies

Who's your favorite back?

If it wasnt for these guys we would have lost alot of games, and never seen some spectacular runs & plays from the backline to the midfield..

I probably have a few myself in the below,

Balls Grinter,

Yeats,

Wrecker Whelan,

Showbiz Bizzell,

Febey Bros,

Ben Dutchy Holland,

Danny Hughes,.

Anthony Ingo Ingerson,

Jared Rivers

Neita,

Rohde,

Walshy (Underrated IMO)

Sean Wight at number 1 for me

Superb marking skills and loved his game.

And what a recruit Ingo was!

I may have missed a few..

 
 

Big Danny Hughes for me. Loved his battles with that [censored] Taylor.

Loved Ingo. Always found a way to spoil and dig his knees into the back of his opponents hamstrings!

Matthews Collins was one that did well in our Grand Final year.

Doggy Brown was underrated. Peter McKenna once told me he reckoned he was our best player!

Wheels, Irish and Bizz were my favourites.


Tassie Johnson

Gary Hardeman

Don Williams

Laurie Fowler

Doc Roet

Trevor Rollinson

Alan Johnson

 

Gary Hardeman, AJ, Tassie Johnson (who I just remember), The Febe's

One of my favourites- a 5'11" centre half back- Steven Icke.


Bernie Massey... Tassie Johnson... Neil Crompton...

Danny Hughes & Ray Biffin - with due respect to all the above.

Alistair Nicholson


One of my favourites- a 5'11" centre half back- Steven Icke.

Icke was 184 cm which is about 6' 1 "

Matthews Collins & Matt Whelan

New favourite is D Nicholson. Should be promoted to senior list next year

Big Danny Hughes for me. Loved his battles with that [censored] Taylor.

Yep, early Danny Hughes. Sean Wight, Alan Johnson and Brett Lovett.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
