    Lovett another of those mid-90s perennially injured players that cost us the chance at a flag. Schwarz, Lyon, Tingay, Lovett, Prymke, Charles - I'm sure there's more. With Lovett it was back-related hamstring issues from memory?

    As far as the poll goes Farmer by a mile. The most consistently explosive player I've seen in the red and blue next to Jakovich. His 98 finals series (including round 22 against the Tigers) and 2000 season were something to behold. 76 goals would have to be one of the best returns for a small forward in the modern era, if not ever.

    In the 90's,  we had so many back injuries that were hamstring related. 

    Circumstantial evidence suggests its Club related poor management again.

     

    Peter Moore also.  He had a back injury from pre season training.

    Moore had a history of hamstring injuries from his time at Collingwood.  He foolishly played the 1981 GF with a hamstring injury sustained the week before. Management at Melbourne had nothing to do with his history of injuries.

    Voted for farmer but glenn lovett was one of the most talented demon players I have seen. Hamstring curses again.

    I think Eddie Betts kicked 75 in 2016 or 2017 and Milne kicked 70 odd in made 2011, so it stands up definitely.

    Yeah I was thinking Matthews and Bartlett the only two who came to mind. I'm sure there's probably more, but it's a hell of an achievement. Betts is more so considering players don't top the ton anymore.

    No disrespect to Glenn but the mercurial Farmer could win matches on his own.

    Sentimental place for Lovett, as already bene said, injuries.  I remember hearing he loved the Dee's and flower so much he insisted that he attend the same high school as Flower (Which he did). :)  The man was red and blue to the core....  Whereas Farmer isn't.

    Yep,  sorry,  it was his Quad muscle he did at training.  At camp,  I believe.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
