Just wondering who is the best footballer MFC have had on our list who were from Queensland - seems to me most were not elite:

Ones I remember, in pecking order of better to not as good:

Clint Bizzell

Brad Miller

Joel MacDonald

Rohan Bail

Ricky Petterd

Corey Wagner

Braydon Preuss

Josh Wagner

Oskar Baker

Jake Spencer

when compared with: Dunstall, N Riewoldt 

 

Trevor Spencer. 3 games in 1990. Key forward/ Ruck. 
 

Brad Miller was the best recruit from Qld. Played 9 years and was a very very good contributor as a key back and key forward. 

The Bizz, by a fair margin

Was Jeff White originally from QLD, or did he move up there post playing career?

 

Whitey was from the Frankston area and was drafted by Freo from the Southern (now Dandenong) Stingrays.

I'd agree that Miller and Bizzell are the best two banana benders to have played for us.


Of that list Bizzell by a country mile. Need more time to see if Baker can play as he still young but I think has a bit. I am far from being a Miller fan.

The Bizz was terrific in most regards, and very reliable as a fair dinkum all-rounder.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
