186 - Hall of Shame

Featured Replies

Posted

9 Players now gone from the 22 that 'represented the club' in Rd 19, 2011. They are Gys, Bate, Moloney (did not get a stat!), Rivers, Petterd, Martin, Maric, Jurrah, Green.

Interestingly three of those players (Gys 11, Rivers 10 and Martin 10) were the only players to have 10 kicks or more

Finally someone is ruthless.

Go Dees. Go Neeld.

 

Hall fo shame - is that a list of the worst Vietnamese soup restaurants?

 

An excellent point that the Media never bring up...186 that is, not vietnamese soup kitchens which i love, unlike 186!!!


What was this "186" game everyone talks of? Darts only goes to 180... It's not a particularly high cricket score, even for a Twenty20... Doesn't seem to fit for basketball, soccer, rugby, ice hockey or netball... 4 great rounds of golf perhaps? 1 bad game of golf?

My bowling figures if I'm made captain for the day.

Nunfer.

 

Not sure if Jurrah was actually playing during 186....

Price of bananas in 12 years? Though I'm not sure what part Jurrah will play in that, either.

Care to name the rest of the hacks that wore our jumper that day that are still on our list?

Or are you only interested in Knifing the players in the back that have left the club?

Gutsy!!!

In the year 186 Peasants in Gaul staged an anti-tax uprising under Maternus.

I guess they may have been hungrier than many MFC players !!

Isnt 186 a knock shop in south melbourne? LOL

Look there is no one we have gotten rid of that added some of the qualities we need in this side other than perhaps Brent.

Is that where Alan Jones "privately"addresses the Young Libs?

There are more factors involved, but it is no concidence that so many of the mediocre players from the 186 game have been delisted, Rivers aside. One of Neeld's main mentors is Blight - look what he did at Adelaide.

What is interesting is that Neeld hasn't gone only to the draft, but has traded for players to replace many of them, and these players are fringe players from other clubs. Big bodies appears to be his main recruiting philosophy for this stage of the development of the list.

Not sure if any of them were.


"186" is the most over emphasized, over dramatized event I can recall EVER.

FFS get over it. It was bad, but it was ONE GAME. It does NOT define us.

Lol.. Yes I'm sure Mark Neeld based his list decisions on one game 18 months ago in Geelong when he had nothing to do with us...

Yes Stuie we need to get over it. However, we should not turn it into a joke as some above have. We must never forget it and do whatever it takes to ensure that such humiliation is not repeated.

GTFO it's not ANZAC day mate.

Of course we should get over it and forget it. It was ONE GAME. DO we still celebrate the wins? No. That's how GOOD football teams do it, they move on to the next challenge rather than dwell on the past. Ever heard the saying "one week at a time"?!!

Well actually I think it has defined us since that time. Hence the Neeld slash and burn burn policy to bury it. I think you and I are on much the same wavelength but the "one week at a time" cliche does worry me.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
