Imagine if everything hadn't gone so pear-shaped over the last couple of years.

Imagine players were desperate to stay at the Dees instead of move on when they hit the free-agent stage

Imahine Roos was coaching this team instead of the rabble that ran out yesterday.........

Leading Goalkicker - 1936

The man nicknamed "Tarzan" because of his tenacious forward play notched up 55 games for East Fremantle and was recruited to Melbourne in 1933 after kicking 40 goals in the previous season. He had played in two premierships in Perth.

Lured to Melbourne with the promise of a job at the MCG, Glass started life at Melbourne as a midfielder before moving back into the forward line in 1936 where he formed a winning combination with Norm Smith.

In 1939 he joined Williamstown and the side won a premiership in his first season. He played for them until leaving at the end of 1941 when he enlisted in the Air Force. He was discharged as a corporal and returned to Williamstown for one last season in 1945, where he was named vicee-captain. The side won another premiership that year. In total he played 82 games for 54 goals in the VFA.

In 2003 he was named ruck-rover in Williamstown's team of the century.

I would have Townsend, Vagg and Jungwirth in there too.

Len & Norm Smith & Alan la Fontaine. & don't forget the Biffen!

Hogan was picked up with Scully Compo so can't have both of them in the same side

Says you. This is fantasy land where every pick is a star and every traded pick is still at the club, playing alongside whoever we traded him for.

half the blokes you named played plenty of miserable games in red and blue

I miss scully, rivers, mclean and sylvia about as much as the chest infection i had last month

Thanks for that Pennant, now let me remove the salt from my wounds

Len & Norm Smith & Alan la Fontaine. & don't forget the Biffen!

You would have to fish him out of the Gatwick first and if you did so, he most likely would be in no state to play.

Ray Biffin, despite advancing years, would be a much safer bet to take the field.

If it's fantasy land, we may as well add Chris Judd...he mentioned once that he might be interested in leaving WCE for Melbourne.

what??? do you mean to tell me that Biff, isn't Ray? & I thought that after his driving for APD all those years, he would have retired gracefully into a comfy lounge near the center of the action, on good old fitzaroy street... :wub:

Agree re three of them - but you have to be kidding re Rivers - was always good and flying at the Cats.

 

Oooh, a self-flagellation thread. Ok!

Let's imagine that each of Morton, Bate, Gysberts, Scully, McKenzie, Bennell, Trengove, Fitzpatrick and Spencer turned their respective glimpses of form into a sustained, consistent level of play.

Let's imagine that Matthew Lloyd hadn't successfully suckered the umpire by diving when Nicholson nudged him in the final quarter of the 2004 elimination final.

Le's imagine that we hadn't been done for salary cap breaches, losing us Pick 4 (Matthew Pavlich) from the 1999 draft.

MFCSS.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
