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.........

B: Garland Frawley Grimes

HB: Rivers McDonald Howe

C: Scully Sylvia Watts

HF: Salem Dawes Jurrah

F: S Martin Clarke Hogan

R: Jamar Scott Thompson Jones

i/c: McLean, Dunn, Tompous, Jeddah

Do you reckon it'd make any difference or would we still be stuffed?

Wins Draws Losses Winning % 43 1 34 55.12

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
