    OP clearly states 'good' players. Don't want to slag off Troy and have no idea of who Stuart Spencer is - otherwise the red pen may have got more of a workout.

    Yes, I'll give myself an uppercut to my still taut jowls which were formed this side of Vietnam War.

    Really? Ever heard of google? They can look him up. Also I bet they’ve heard of Norm Smith!!

    Speaking of Matty Bate...

    Apparently he gave up on his motivational YouTube series to hawk health products (though this is a bit aged).

     

    Edit: Nope. This came out the same time as the motivational videos.

    That's Stuart Spencer. Not surprised that bandwagon fans haven't heard of him. Was clearly a dud...

    Yeah, maybe I am an old bugger but my levels of support involve learning about the history of our team. I guess that sort of interest is what separates us diehard Demons from the fairweather fans.

    Nope, never saw Stuart play but did in fact meet him whilst he was our Prez. A true gentleman and one of our clubs legends.

    Clarry looks to have eaten half a grouper with 200 dollars worth of chips in this pic.

    Thank god he pulled his head in with his professionalism.

    Weird post. Of course people could use Google to look him up, but that requires knowing the name first. Skuit said he had never heard of him - that makes Googling him a challenge.

    As for Norm Smith: I grew up a Melbourne supporter by choice rather than indoctrination, outside of Victoria, in the 90s. I was an adult before I knew Smith was a Melbourne player, because how else would I have known? Through my English father or mother who only followed local footy? 

    And sorry, but I just don’t understand the obligation to know the ins and outs of ancient history regarding the club. I was born 19 years after our most recent premiership. It’s nice that the older generation are able to reminisce about past glory - I envy the heck out of that, but ultimately I don’t really care. It’s irrelevant to me. It’s also a tad hypocritical - I don’t read too much about the heroics of whoever in the 1900 grand final.

    No mate, it’s what sorts the history buffs from the non-history buffs.

    It’s just a list of redhead Demons players. Posters can choose from there.

    I never saw Ivor Warne Smith , Bluey Truscott but their names are among the legends of our club.

    I'm happy with that idea. Maybe, the fact they pulled on a Melbourne Jumper makes them top players.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
