Eddie mentioned a couple weeks back the spooky resemblance of Keith Truscott and Clayton Oliver and I think he has point.

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.

Last played in 1956. Nobody under the age of 60 would have seen him play. Ridiculous to expect people to know much about him.

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.

• 2× VFL premiership: 1955, 1956
• 2× Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal: 1955, 1956
• Melbourne leading goal kicker: 1955
• Melbourne Team of the Century
• Australian Football Hall of Fame
• Melbourne Hall of Fame
• 2× All-Australian: 1956, 1958
• President of our footy club 1986 - 1991.

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.

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.
