    No detail provided about the method used to compile but i would have thought Maxy the most popular. He seems to be universally well liked by supporters of all teams. I wouldn't say the same about dangerflog. Strange list

    Buddy? Really?

    One kick in the finals (Petracca), fizzer in big games, entitlement re contract,  serial match review presenter - frequently to Swans’ detriment and other issues. 
    Now if we’re voting for WAGs…

    Whilst there are a few on that list who I don’t like at all (Danger & Riewoldt) that list is about right.

    They have their faces on everything so the market (fans) obviously love them

    Ha ha no dc I was born in 45 one month after the Japanese surrendered. I remember the halfpennies but I can’t remember the farthings, boy times have changed, a 5 pound note was a thing of joy a 10 pound note was a rarity.

    oh. i see, it was your brother born in 1942 not you

    i remember halfpennies though there wasn't many around and i did see the odd farthing though nothing had a farthing in its price and i doubt shopkeepers would have accepted them.

    and yes in 1945 a 10 pound note would have been a king's ransom. you could buy a house in melbourne for under a thousand quid

    better stop there or i'll upset the millenials ðŸ˜†

    Players like Dusty and Buddy and Dangerfield are very much liked by many, but they’re also disliked by many. The top three on that list ought to be Fyfe, Bont and Maxy since they are players who are universally liked, maybe not loved by all, but I daresay not hated by many. Imho anyways.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
