Can anyone help identify any of these players?

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.

    If it is Jeremy Nicholls is that the same guy who was on the Board of the MFC in 2013. Records show "X" player on Google

    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.

    Typical Ormond Ammo!

    Would not have happened at De La  far too Polished!

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
