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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
