    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!

    Great idea, helium man.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
