Brown, Weideman and Fritsch is ideal for me, but all credit to McDonald for the year he's having.

    Not sure why Hawthorn in 1971 is not on that list. Peter Hudson kicked 150 goals on his own, so add any other two players - even the full back and back pocket -  and it's better than Brisbane's 142 in 2001.

    What's our best 3 Pronged Attack?

    Whats the criteria for that list?

    They left off Lyon, Schwarz and Jakovich who combined for 190 goals in 1994.

    Probably because the article is about forward lines with three prolific goal kickers.

    What I can't work out is the note that says * DENOTES PREMIERS but there are no asterisks to be seen.

    It's a pretty arbitrary list. Mark Jackson and Gerard Healy kicked 153 between them in 1982. Don't know who the third best that year was, but still better than Brisbane in 2001.

    I reckon our best 3 pronged attack was Mueller, Baggott and Norm Smith in 1939.

    Won us a flag. Good enough for me.

    The ol' joke comes to mind . . . what would you do if Jesus Christ came to Glenferrie Road . . . ?

    Of course.  Should have picked that up.

    • 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.
