    Well done to the two posters who played the quiz. I sure didn't know all the answers. However, I can complete some missing links. 

    The Carlton player Robbo took the mark over was no. 23 Adam Hartlett. The other Gold Coast player was Sam Day in Colin Sylvia's mark.

    The Bulldogs player under Jeremy Howe was Michael Talia. 

    I know you said you didn't care but I like to keep things tidy.?

    It's horrifying how many of those games we lost.

    Thanks to Fork 'em, the grid now features ten different players. I had forgotten Newton's mark, probably because I had erased that terrible game (among many shockers that year) from my memory.

    The grid makes a good screen saver ??

    I suspect you could also do a 10 picture grid just with Jeremy Howe marks in Melbourne colours.

    I've been watching football since the mid-60s. He is the best taker of marks I have ever seen, and not just speccies. While it sounds wrong, he has both the softest hands and the tightest grip, as well as the best leap.

    I agree, he is a gem, broke my heart when he went to the Filth. Imagine having him in our backline now ?

    • 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.
