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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
