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.

    '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'

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

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
