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

    Yes, it is Jeremy Nicholls and he was on the Board of the MFC.

    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!

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
