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

    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.

    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!

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

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
