    And the one I put up: We didn't come to play - Neil Balme

    Some more guesses

     

    Number 1:  

    1.       “I would have 100 shots a week at training….” Allan Jakovich, Max Gawn

     

     

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

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

     

    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" Raul Poos

     

    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..” Swooper

    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 ? Tassie Johnson

    I'll have another stab. 

    I would have guessed Max Gawn for question 1 but that has already been done. So my guess is Russel Robertson with a left field guess of Earl Spalding. 

    For question 6, was it Neil Balme?

  • Quote

    I'm trying to go by the language being used. Is number 6 Mark Jackson?

    OK, you have been kept in suspense, so here is one to help out:

    No 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..”

    Thanks George, didn’t know about this. I’ll have to pick up a copy of the red fox. (Ian was my Grandfather).

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
