Dave Granger, who had one of the all-time great nicknames of "Grave Danger"!

Jimmy Stynes in the Saints? One of the fairest players I've had the chance to see.

Dipper was a true gentleman off the field. Went to school with him. A monster guy even then but carried himself with dignity and grace. Protected the small kids and school bullies and toughs feared him. Allan Jeans turned him into a football thug. Actually Allan Jeans should be on the thug list as well.

You didn't go to Kew High by any chance?

Missed the biggest of all, the one and only Robbie ‘Mad Dog’ Muir.
Knew Dipper due to work, nice guy, always had time for and interest in the less celebrated. 

I’d put Chris Judd up there for his history of sniping and eye gouging. Stealth thug.

Big Carl

Saw him play his last ever game when I was a kid, and he only had one purpose for being out there - to thump as many people as he could. Most openly violent game I’ve ever seen from any player. Remember feeling embarrassed that he was playing for my team.

Tom Hafey king hit a bloke at Shepparton according to my Dad. So much for mythologising. Kevin Sheedy would be an ‘acolyte’, Dean Wallis was definitely no angel.

Embarrassed !! Are you kidding ? I was there & it was against Collingwood & I'm only sorry he didn’t clean up more of the snipers.

Can't agree with Goodes, he was a consistent tribunal visitor and had a penchant for tripping 

Yes ..was going to suggest he was on the wrong team..    a bit of a sniping dog if you ask me.  And totally unecessary as a very gifted player.

Always played with niggle.

It annoyed/s me he tarnished the Charlie ... imho.

Take away the rubbish play...maybe... but it was there plain as day.

Steven Baker gotta be the tagger.  He was suspended for 28 games in his career. 

Retired from AFL, then got suspended for 6 weeks for rough conduct in a preseason game for Sorrento!

Had to be de-registered from all forms of football but he won his appeal.

I think he was reported for 8 different incidents. Never heard what the (theoretical) suspensions would have been, or even if they bothered. Great player otherwise, not a fan of the baldy-hiding headband though.

Dipper ...nice guy ... ?

Maybe off the field... he and lethal ...   two nastiest [censored] ever in the poos and wees jumper.

If you saw as i did what they did to Flower, effectively off the ball you havd no hesitation running either of the [censored] over.

A mate of mines sister was very good friends with Muirs girlfriend.  Got asked to fix a few holes in walls.  Total nutter

Yep, I had him in the team at 3am but at 4pm today he had slipped  my tiny moind. He's a definite IN, instead of Goodes...

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
