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

    4: Ian Ridley

    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

    • 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..”

    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).

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
