    3: Rod Grinter (second option Laurie Mithen; third option Alby Rodda - you can see I'm guessing)

    4: Ian Ridley

    5: Ron Barassi

    6: Noel McMahen

     

    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......

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

     

    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..”

    No. 7.  A:    Ian Thorogood.  From “The Red Fox” by Ben Collins

     

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

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
