ADMIRED PAST PLAYERS FROM OTHER CLUBS

Featured Replies

Posted

The two old timers I really admired were the great South Melbourne players Bobby Skilton and Ron Clegg. Skilton was an amazing rover, tough and fearless with great skills. Ron Clegg was a magnificent centre half forward or centre half back. He played brilliantly in either position. How I wished we had them in our team. Just wondering who others may have admired in other teams.

 

George Best

 

Jono Brown - Self preservation did not exist in his world.

Robert Harvey - Seemed like he was around forever.

Dane Swan - Man runs like he is wearing gumboots, but boy he could play.

Johnny Platten - Never forget his tangle of untamed curly hair flapping in the wind as he flew through the center to deliver the ball with precision.

Just to name a few.

I was beginning to like you wiseblood - you have just stuffed that up.


jonathan Brown - fearless. Would have loved him at CHF for us, roaming around the forward line with Neiter.

Garry Ablett snr

 

[censored] of the highest order, but boy could he play. Never before or since have I seen one player dismantle opp teams like he did

Ethan, you have a bit of a Modra-look about you.  Are you two related?

Yeah agree with this one.

I thought Ablett snr was a little overrated, yeah he could dismantle teams but only when it was given to him, was the best at finding it himself.

Ablett senior, Craig Bradley and Peter Daicos.

I loved watching them play and especially loved watching them kick.

I've been asked if I'm related to Tom Selleck before but not Modra. Now that you mention it I can see the resemblance, he's quite handsome.

Was more thinking the Schwarzenegger/De Vito twins similarity.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
