who-will-present-the-premiership-cup-melbourne

The clubs get to suggest to the AFL someone present the cup if we win.

It has to be someone already in WA.  Fox's ideas.

  • Garry Lyon - club great
  • Shane Woewodin - 2000 Brownlow medallist; played in our last GF.
  • Ken Melville 1953 Bluey winner.  played in 1955 and 1956 premierships
  • Adam Yze - played in our last GF
  • Glen Bartlett - immediate past President
  • Kate  Roffey - current President

On premiership credentials Ken Melville would get the nod.  He is 90 and if able I think is the one.

Otherwise Garry would be my choice.   

My dream was for Barassi - legend without peer and last MFC captain to raise the cup.

Failing that, I'm a huge fan of connection between current success and the rich premiership history of our great club, so to have a premiership winning past player such as Ken Melville present the cup would be fantastic.

Woewodin would have an interesting contemporary slant - certainly his 2000 Brownlow and having played in our most recent past Grand Final provide relevance, but what an amazing recompense such a gesture would make given the ungainly manner his exit from the club was handled, and then there's the prospect of us possibly drafting his son Taj via father-son...?

Allen Jakovich

 

Robert Flower and Norm Smith will descend from above and do the job

The curse will fade away

If the Dogs get up, is Brad Hardie going to present the cup? 😉

In the perfect world, outside Barass, I would like David Neitz to do it, he represented our modern struggle and is our leading game player. (Much like Richo doing it for the Tigers in 2017)

But Lyon, despite his foibles, was one of our finest players and captains and is the obvious and worthy choice.

 

Gazza will more than likely do it.

Remote outside chances: Darren Kowel or Earl Spalding

Would love to have Tulip or Jimmy as options, but alas.... RIP.

Got to win it first, though!

Have Max present it to himself. The only bloke in the comp that could pull that off. 

On the off chance that Nathan Jones is still there, he would be the most worthy and deserving of the honour.  

Honestly if we win I wouldn't care, it could be Donald Duck and I'd still be cheering mad...  Most likely Garry Lyon since he is here in the west and the most high profile.  There are a few of the old premiership players living in WA but they aren the most famous :) 

Gaz easily. It would be great to see one former captain give it to the current one.

A shame it can't be in Melbourne because barrassi would have been 1st choice

The petition to allow Neale Daniher into WA to present the cup was ridiculous. The organisers failed to ask Neale whether he would actually want to do that. And, in fact, he said that he didn't.

Huge tick for this idea Queanbetan.

It won't happen of course but it would be an event and television for the ages.

Daisy Pearce is over there commentating I reckon she is an outside chance.

Everytime I read this thread someone has come up with nothing short of another brilliant idea.

Daisy and Garry?

Really Great and all that Daisy is comparing her contribution to Melb at this stage it would be an insult to Neiter  Stynes Todd V Schwartz and many others Hassan Mann included.

Glen Bartlett is already in WA also.

Let Daisy shine in the AFLW at this stage please and maybe play in a flag this year. 
I also include her role in propelling W footy greatly but plenty in AFL have deserved this honour prior to our much loved No 1 AFlW star.

Rob, Nathan has flown back to Melbourne already, to be with his partner who’s about to give birth to twins.

The lack of respect to Garry Lyon as a past Captain on here always astounded me. 
Maybe a lot of you didn’t see him play. 
The bloke was a deadset legend in a very tough and violent era

If he presents the cup to Max and the team, good luck to him. He was the Captain during all the merger [censored]

I knew someone would reply accordingly.  It was about the principle rather than an afl/aflw issue. 

Can people stop saying Glen Bartlett.

That would be a complete insult to Simon Goodwin.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
