The Banner


Elusive Tunbridge

Recommended Posts

That's not a bad idea. You could have a 'much maligned' banner; Saty, Simon Godfrey, Big Al Nicholson, Jordie McKenzie bookended with Hogans Heroes

You left off a few in your "most maligned" list. Surely Jack Watts has to be there. And Colin Sylvia, Isaac Weetra, Mark Neeld. I could go on...

How Cale Morton got through two of these posts without a mention I'll never know.

After RDB the list gets thin.

the two that made any contribution IMO were Ray Groom but probably Paul Wheatley is the best because of a combination of skill and length.

The others Hmm they ran around with it on is the best I can say

Slight tangent - apologies - but a post-xmas house clean has unearthed a 2002 Signature Collection of rare old tawny port with the great man's photo and signature on the label. Must have bought it at the time. Quite sad really when I saw his first and last games wearing the No. 2, and most in between. Back to topic.

You missed Max Hislop 1915 and Ken Levey 1943.

It's a very sad moment that Tulip and Jimmy have died, but isn't it time we quit living in our past glory? I know there has been very little success over the last few years but we really need to support our current crop of players and show that we believe in the future.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
