10 Dees Who Played Under 10 Games

Featured Replies

 

We had quite a number of players who played well over 10 games that should also be on this list.

 

Hoped the intermittently amazing Les Bamblett qualified but i missed by one game !   Mark Bradly was spruiked as our next top ruck prospect but with knee issues only managed four games .

we could have a most forgettable 100 games player quiz?

You'll need to think this through. The moment someone remembers a player, they've effectively disqualified themselves from winning the quiz because they've just proven that the player was not forgotten. 


well, .....thought i'd better reply...... but now can't remember what i was going to say

Darren Kowel, Anthony Dullard, Alistair Nicholson, Peter Walsh, Matthew Bate and dare I say it..... Jack Grimes.

Adrian Battison (96) just misses out.


James Cook. 8 goals after his first two games with us. He was injured early in his third and final game. Anyone with a better goal average for under 10 games?

I know he played more than 10 games, but as an aside, Allan Jacovich kicked 50 goals in his first 9 games. Including 8.8 in the 4th game and 11.8 in 9th game. What a freak.

Rate him as the most exciting player I've seen in red and blue.


I was very disappointed when Dom Barry left.  I was understanding why he left as a young bloke but he had the skills and pace to make it. Could he still return? Depending on his motivation and will. It would be quite a story. 

I remember people saying Weetra was going to be a good player, but when he finally got a game, and I finally got to see him play, I groaned.

We've done quite well with our trading with Adelaide over the years: Ingerson, Vince, Vardy (though not nearly enough games) and one of my favourites the unlucky Matty Collins (I just rewatched some of our game from 2000 on youtube ?), but there were also forgettable busts: Jace Bode (9 games), John Meesen (4) and Nick Pesch (4).

Other recycled players I remember over the journey that never quite reached the heights the club hoped for were:

Trevor Spencer from Essendon, 3 games

Gary Moorcroft from Essendon, 3 games

David Grant from St Kilda, 7 games

Wayne (the Moose) Henwood from Sydney, 1 game

'Rocket' Rod Owen from St Kilda, 9 games

Steven Pitt from Collingwood/Western Bulldogs, 5 games

Danny Seow from Collingwood, 7 games (traded for Glenn McLean if I remember correctly).

Michael Pickering played too many games (15) to qualify, but never regained the lofty heights he had ascended to at Richmond.

The other one who was slightly before my time, but was my PE teacher in High School was Mark McKeon (6 games) who ended up being a runner at Collingwood and was responsible for escorting a certain Magpies Reserves player off the ground in a televised match on Sunday arvo (Army Reserve Cup) after he head butted an umpire and then jumped the fence to have a go at one of the spectators. The commentary from Ray 'Slug' Jordan is 80s footy folklore!

Power recruiting by past Demons Admins,  right there..  geez we know footy at Melbournefc.


Never thought of Hughes as a Key Forward. Always thought he was more of a flanker.
