    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]…”

    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).

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
