Can't think of a player who very obviously had NOPE stamped on his name in big letters by a coach. 

Third in the B&F in 2013, in and out of the side in 2014 under Roos. Signed on for two years at the end of 2014, played two full seasons in the VFL when just about every other player on the senior list got picked at some point. Almost seemed like a stubborn standoff between coach and player in the end. Pretty funny in hindsight - probably not for Dean though.

I was thinking of the BnF in 2013 when I saw the 2021 DL leaderboard with so many guns. How far have we come? Staggering

Dean tried his guts out so fair play to him. Just didn’t have the talent

Winning the next 34 on the trot isn't too much to ask for is it?

To be fair I think we should give him until the end of 2022 to even up

If we had had two Pedos we would have been at 68 percent and firing.

Looks like James Jordan is the new Clyde Laidlaw!

(Fingers crossed because that's an 81% win rate and four premierships in 124 games)

I met Clyde at a Grand Final function about five years ago and had a long chat with him. What a gentlemen. And he was in great shape. Always and forever a Deez man, followed us very closely and thought that our recruiting, playing style and coaching strategy with Roos back then was spot on.

FUN FACT

James Jordon is the first player to win his first 6 games since.....


Charlie Spargo in 2018 R6-11

Bonus facts:
The next best is 7 winning games by Brian Dunsford in 1957 where he played 7 games that year, all wins and didn't play another season with anyone.  James Jordon has the chance this week to equal this

The second best is 13 wins in a row by Alby Rodda in 1939 winning 9 games (including a flag) continuing on to win his first 4 games of 1940 after missing round 1. 

The best streak by a Melbourne player is Bryan Kenneally's first 14 games were all wins with 2 played in 1959 and 12 played in 1960. 
After his first two seasons he had a record of 17 games 16-3 and one premiership.

Thats amazing.  Knock off North and the Swans and he owns the record outright.

Reminds me of the sad stat about Robbie - 270 odd games and finals only in his last three. 
Come 88-89-90 Newport, Viney, Stynes and co were running like 9 finals out of 30 or 40 games

How does this compare to Cam Pedersen's percentage? I feel like we won every game he played for us there for a while.

Just seeing Cam on the field was a win in itself - really enjoyed his suddent efforts and effects for the team. One of my favourites; he was so motivating at times.

Not that it matters, but Marty Hore is in your list twice...with the same % win.

Seeing this list really makes me feel for Nathan Jones. Playing might seem "easy" for players like Jordon, Rivers and Jackson, but Jones really did it tough and the fact that he stuck with us throughout those terrible years should never be forgotten.

Thank you, just fixed that up :)

Yeah I feel for Jones,  a lot of players on our list between 2007-2016 would have had similar horrific %.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
