11 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

question for the crew: last time we had a significant gap between games (10 days between the bears win and the queens birthday loss) we seemed to come out 'flat' from the get go - do you think that the thursday evening til saturday twilight (9 days) poses a threat to our ability to start strongly?

Didn't see this until well after the show. You should have jumped in the chat room to ask.

My answer: It's a strong possibility. I'm worried.

Brian Wilson was a very good recruit from another club

Won a Brownlow 

As did Peter Moore

Edit: shame he finished 13 games of qualifying Darcy to be eligible for father-son for us as well as the filth*

*he was never going to 'nominate' us

Brilliant content as always, a fixture on my weekly pod rotation.

I think your list  is a bit harsh on Dean Chiron who  was always a trier, and who was particularly good at stopping John Platten which, if I recall correctly, is why Brereton ran straight through him in the 1988 grand final, in order to prevent him from doing his usual excellent stopping job.

Off topic but I really enjoyed the Gus and Gawny/ Sauce cast.

O. Baker's story about his mom was incredibly sad and made me tear up. 

I hope his footy career takes of and goes gangbusters.

Didn't play in the 88 GF! Did he club him at some point during the '87 PF? There are a couple of small changes I'd make on second thoughts but he only played 17 games so can't justify having him much higher than mid-table.

@whatwhat say what - I was a Collins fan, and thought it was BS that he didn't get another go after leaving us, but he did really only play half a really good season for us.

Fantastic list Supermercado.

Martin Heppell could be added to the list I reckon. (apologies if he already is there)

Former St Kilda player that crossed to the Dees in 1995 and played against the Dogs at Optus Oval and West Coast at the WACA in rounds 4 and 5 of 1995. Alas we lost both games.

Once you get past Super's say top 25 - 30 then it is diminishing returns in terms of contribution to the demon cause.

It's a reminder though of how much more movement between teams there was back in the 70s and eigthies.

I hate to say it, given his talent, but i would Harley Bennell at the bottom of that list just about. 

And for me thee is one glaring omission, a player i have in my top 10, almost top 5.

The 1982 Bluey winner, Steven Icke.

Awesome for the dees. Such a competitor and never left anything out there. My favorite type of player.  

As primarily a center half back at the dees, in a period where Templeton was the protoype build for a CHF, played out of weight division every game.

He kicked 13 goals in 1983 so must have played forward that year a bit (something i had forgotten - thanks demonwiki. I do remember him being a forward at the Roos) and polled 12 Brownlow votes.

That year he also came third in the bluey behind Alan Johnson (one of all time fav dees) and Robbie.

I am really enjoying the podcast this season - helps when we are winning. While I am with Andy on the MFCSS, I appreciate the work that he, BinMan and George put into the analysis of the matches - helps understand what’s going on. The TV commentators are hopeless, except for Jimmy Bartel, Daisy and recently Leppa. The Demons definitely have a process/system which is founded  on pressure acts, and if we are “on” the system works! Thanks again

Just realised the list doesn't have Pedersen either. Slot him in around the late 20s and once I've sorted out who else is missing I'll reissue.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
