    Grinter is the equal of all of them, in terms of effectiveness.

     

    Absolute Rubbish. Grinter spent a season and a half sitting in the Grand Stand suspended. 

    and you put him in the same category as Jim Stynes??

    that is true swyl just as you don't.

     

    So obviously I'm talking about their games played.  Not how many, but the influence they have in the games they play.

    That's how I determine their effectiveness.

     

    I'm not voting like a best & fairest,,,,, as that desn't win games or Premierships.

    I'm talking about doing things for the team to win matches, and sacrifice acts. etc, team acts.

    Grinter is a great player of that era, and of Melbourne. 

    not "the Greats" not the "LEGENDS",  but a great of Melbourne.   and of that afl era.

    No he is not. He could have been

    But there was too much blatant thuggery even by 80’s standards

    Good grief. What is this thread even?

    Of course they are going to hop into lever. It's part of footy, it's part of Aussie sport.

    What Wallace said is mild and unremarkable.

    Some of you should never go near a cricket field. You'd positively faint, my dears.

    As for Grinter, he was a decent player with surprisingly good skills. Great? In your dreams. Hard nut, for sure. There were times when you were rapt Rod was on our side, as he "explained" a few things to the oppo. Other days when you wished he had held things in check.

    His hit on Wallace, I think was one of those split second things where if he'd hit the ball, play on and no damage done. Or clipped Wallace, free kick, over and done with. As it happened, I think there was no malice and he was remorseful afterwards. Compare with eg Matthews who was completely devoid of feeling, or Ronnie Andrews who was too far the other way.

    Grinter, a good guy, playing for the good guys, with hard but wayward fists.

    Your being blinded by stats, like games played. If Coleman was judged that way, he wouldn't anything more than a good ordinary footballer.   Which is what ANB & Tyson are at present.

    Rodney was much better than that, and yes he missed a stack of games, but he swung a lot of wins our way, as well.

    Lockett missed a stack of games.

    Brereton lost a stack of games.

    Dipper as well.

    Greg Williams.

    Jonathon Brown early days.

    Again, not one of the Greats, but he was a great footballer of his time.

    They’ve targeted him a bit... all it’s done is fire him up. Close to BOG in the first half. Cheers Plough!

    It was like the grand final all over again. Lever the only one with any idea how to play footy under any sort of pressure.

    Great idea, helium man.

    About as successful as your various attempts at coaching.

    I will always believe Grinter was going fairly for the ball and it went a bit pear shaped. 

    Never thought there was nothing malicious in it.

    Agree. It was an overly exuberant attempt to spoil.

    Well our Adelaide supporting friends have moved on. One drone on Adelaide BF declared that Lever " wasn't missed". Another dolt said Doedee was "better than Lever". They're sharp as bowling balls in Adelaide.

    Certainly Tex "Einstein "  Walker has been proved right.

    spot on, it sounded just like it on radio, but looked like we stifled them more-so,,, on the Telly.

    Totally. Plus not having Lever there to deliver the half time spray probably didn't help either

    Congrats Jake on having a very impressive game which would have been in your mind since joining our club. Class act. Pity Tex Walker wasn't on the field to appreciate it.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
