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

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

    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]…”

    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

    • Haha 1

    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..”

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
