Definately Cameron Schwab he was the most arrogant person who I have ever met lived of his fathers reputation and Ray Manley was always listening to the races on match day updating the players on the results as they came to the bench. He had a good reputation but was a total idiot and was one of the reasons the MFC crashed during his tenure as the Secretary of the MFC for the MCC.

The player is possibly Scott Sutcliffe. He wore number 44

I think you’re right, Mr Lord.

I was a real fan of Scot’s.

Exquisite talent, I thought, but he seemed to disappear.  ? Injury?

Tasmanian, I think.

Oh Gawd why did you have to bring up his name??

His Miss in the 87 Preliminary Final was possibly the worse miss in the History of the game!!

Just when I was erasing it from my memory !!?

He was a fair way out to be fair, I think it was 2 metres.

2 meters sheeeeeit Just when I was erasing it from memory and the Chump Hooked it 

Jaheeesus all he had to do was drop it in a straight line onto his boot!!

Typical Ormond Ammo!

Would not have happened at De La  far too Polished!

Shocking shocking miss !!

That’s wrong about Eishold.

I think all his critics are like my mates who say they never watch replays of losses.

Eishold marked the ball on the sideline of the square about 4 meters out.

Umpire David Howlett, who had been influenced in his decisions all day by the experienced Hawthorn players, ran in from 60 m away , and decided he marked it about half a metre out, so put him on an acute angle.  It should have been an absolute “gimme”,but Howlett made it a very difficult shot. No wonder Eishold was nervous , when he had about a 1 metre target to thread it through.

Eishold had an excellent kicking technique, and had shown himself previously to be an accurate shot for goal.

I can recall that, years later, Eishold revealed that the occasion got to him and that his legs turned to jelly.

Any suggestion that it was a tough shot is ludicrous.  There are no excuses for his terrible miss from so close.

Good one.....lets tear threads off another player!

Tough shot, tough circumstances & I wonder how you would go put in the same position......any suggestions that it was an easy shot shows your lack of knowledge & ignorance.

He was a great player for the Dees who could read the play exceptionally well whilst bringing others into the game.

 

Crikey Old Goat, you accuse me of a lack of knowledge then go on to describe Eishold as "a great player".

He wasn't great, he was a foot soldier and no better than average.  That shot wasn't tough, especially for a "great" player.

We have a different opinion.  C'est la vie.  I would have slotted it, since you ask! ?

Fair enough old boy but I liked him & the way he went about it......82 games & 50 goals....not bad & during a time when it was difficult to get a game for the dees during our resurgence....& I reckon unless your put in that same situation, then none of us know really how hard it would be......

Gees you must have been good in your day.....?

I was there he was snowed by the Hawthorne players and did not go back far enough and he did not compose himself like some players like Lloyd did. He did not lose the game the problem was every player wanted to be a hero like Yeats and others who were running towards goal and Robert Flower was alone in the goal square and a simple handball or kick would have resulted in a goal even though Robert had hurt his shoulder he would have done the job.

It was just one of those days.....our boys were young & inexperienced.

Kicked with the wind for 3 quarters, missed crucial goals, injuries to key players & we were still in front went the siren went.

Never seen so many grown people cry.

Did play in the 1991 Grand Final against North Old Boys. Probably the best amateur Football game I have seen. We may have  crossed paths

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
