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.

Great insights and analysis guys. Most enjoyable.  Thanks!

 

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

Top pod again, gents. Last Hurrah duly ordered. 

Absolutely loved this pod, forwarded on to a number of non-MFC friends who have also enjoyed it.

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

 

Many thanks again all

As promised on the podcast here are my rankings of imported players since 1980. The criteria is plucked from thin air. Hopefully I haven't missed anyone. Probably a bit of recency bias at the top but that's what happens when most of the last 40 years have been a disaster.

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.

https://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/M/Martin_Heppell.html

 

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.

Thank you, just realised I didn't have him on my St Kilda list so have added now.

@binman - Incorrectly had Icke in my 1970s North list.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
