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

it'd be cool to actually have a vote for it and the top 6 choices get on there or something.

Might have to bring in 'Range Rover' to set up the poll.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
