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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2024

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
