On the AFL website, the AFl have chosen Brad Miller as one of the current footballers that could be Bond. WHat do you think?

With the release of Casino Royale, which of these AFL players do you think could play James Bond?

James Clement

Trent Croad

Luke Darcy

Aaron Hamill

Chris Judd

Brad Miller

    Only Darce. I'm a huge 007 fan, and none of those really rank. Bond has to be tall, have blue eyes, heaps of chest hair, look severe and frighteneing, have a dry sense of humour, and appear to be classy, while rugged.

    Clement, Hamill and Judd are nowhere near good-looking enough. Croad and Miller are too pretty in the teeny bopper sense.

    I can't speak for Darcy's chest hair or eye colour, but he fills the other items well. A hysterically dry sense of humour, tall, severe looking (when he wants to be). He fits the bill the best probably.

    Interestingly the new Bond fails one or two of these categories. He's shortish, looks like a boxer, not an aristocrat, and has no chest hair. That aside, I thought he did a ripping job in the movie. So much for rules.

    There's probably a couple of others that'd go alright too, but I can't think of them right now.

    well the pre requisite of putting more than 5 words together in anything other than a monotone may render this question moot !!

    It has to be Judd.

    I'm pretty sure that he is a robot planted on this earth to bring peace and good football skills to all.

    If anyone could pick up 30 possessions while simultaneously saving the world from Terrorism, it has to be him :P

    Sandilands as Jaws.

    Eddie McGuire as Goldfinger.

    Lou Richards as "Q."

    Bev O'Connor as "M" (Judi Dench).

    Samantha Jones (Fox footy newsreader?) as Moneypenny.

    Now THAT'S a cast. Move over House of Bulger.

    Well sometimes accidentally hitting the wrong button brings interesting results. Found this thread by accident but given the latest naming of a the new Bond lead, thought it was quite appropriate to bump. 

    My thought is Trent Rivers would make an excellent 007.

    Everyone else's thoughts to add to this classic thread?

    Petracca. He has those suave looks, but he'd probably bust through the walls of the Russians' secret lair rather than finesse his way in.

    Petracca and Oliver to play Batman and Robin.

    Max to play Bond.

    As soon as I saw the thread title I immediately thought Dangerfield (sorry) but he's probably too woke for the role. Need a little chauvinism to play bond.

    Checking in from Portugal near Guincho, where some of Her Majesty's Secret Service was filmed with Aussie George Lazenby in the lead role. I also once sold a CD to Sean Connery. Conclusion: no Australian should ever play Bond.

    Please don't mention the M word in any post. I just get very, VERY angry 😠 

     

    P.S.  The 2006 quote was a reminder for me not to swear at seeing it's name 😉

    Mason Cox for the big dumb henchman, swift to anger. Maynard in the opening sequence as a bad guy who gets his comeuppance. Eddie McGuire in a Bond parody movie as the evil mastermind.

    I don't care as long as they are Gay or Trans.

    Preferably dark skinned.

    For too long British secret service agents have been portrayed as white males from Britain.

    This must change.

    Could only be one person. Gawn.....

    Max Gawn.

     

    Nah. Gawn would have his own, much more successful, movie series. So would Brayshaw, actually. Hmm... Gus and Gawny the epic adventure series really could work.

    I think Shaun Burgoyne would be an standout candidate for an 'Aussie' branded Bond. Has that smooth presentation, tall lean build, a clearly Aussie (not merely Australian) accent, gives a little edge of Crocodile Bondee. He does like expensive watches, too.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
