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 !!

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?

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 😉

Has my name been mentioned yet?

 

 

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.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
