Not much to talk about at the moment......so let's delve back into our recent and long past history and ask the question:

WHO SAID THAT?

As each one is correctly identified, another will be posted.


 

 

OK no correct answers yet, but am impressed with a couple of options put forward...Remember these are only MFC icons......

So I'll give you a couple more to see if anyone can get the answers....

1    1.       “I would have 100 shots a week at training….”

A          A:  Brad Green, Demonland Podcast 20/6/18

 

2.    “I train day on, day off.  Day on.  Day off….Todays’s day off”

A:  Allen Jakovich   in Garry Lyons book “The Demon Within”

 

3.      “ If blokes got in my way, I knocked them over…and sometimes it was a little too high..”

A: Rod Grinter.....correctly identified by  Left Foot Snap

 

4.     "The old Melbourne’s gone….done and dusted.  Finished….and that will never reappear again"

A:  Paul Roos.  Demonland Podcast 13 June 2018  37.55  correctly identified by Roger Mellie

 

5.     “Healy off,  Ellingworth on….bloody weak as [censored]…”

A: R.D. Barassi:  correctly identified by  Roger Mellie

 

6.     “Any game against Collingwood, you had to get up…it’s a long week in football and every 2nd bastard you run into is a Collingwood    supporter..”

A:  Allen Jakovich     Demonland podcast 21 October 2017.       37.25

Another one:

7. 

The voice became more agitated.  “Open the door – it’s Norm Smith”

I said: “Hell is that you, Red Fox?”

Norm put his shoulder to the door and it nearly came off its hinges.  He burst in and wrestled all 3 of us, and it bloody hurt too; we were bruised.  ….” None of you will ever refer to me as The Red Fox ever again!”

Who said “ Hell is that you , Red Fox?” thereby giving Norm Smith his nickname ?

A:    Ian Thorogood.  From “The Red Fox” by Ben Collins

Could be Matthew Lloyd.  Could be Cameron Mooney.  Could be any of a number of our esteemed and pickled Demonland posters, too, depending on the kind of shots.

'Tonight was unacceptable & probably a reflection of where we've been for the year'......'but we are going to work really hard at getting ourselves out of it'

'We've got a lot of work to do, but I've got full confidence in the players & the club'.......'We are in a poor position right now'

'We need to take responsibility as coaches, as players, as a whole club & how we build our program & make it better'.....'But what I am going to say is that we have the people here in terms of the players'

“Footy sucks sometimes” 

Someone said it after a loss to North to start the season 0-9 in the mid-late 2000’s.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
