The nastiest player in the last 50 years. A definite coward too. Unfortunately he was feted for it at the time. Society had very weird attitudes towards coward violence back in 70s and 80s.

Should have been jailed for what he did to Nev Bruns.Was charged for it but footballers in that era were teflon coated

    Hughes and Grinter only ever collected opponents in contests in my experience. Matthews routinely dropped blokes behind play. Just ask Stephen Smith. Or Peter Giles.

    Matthews was seriously messed in the head.

    I was at the Whitten Oval the day he broke Terry Wallace's jaw. You heard the smack, the ball did just leave the area but it was poor judgement on Grinter's behalf and something I reckon he's no proud of. As for Brereton he was of an incredibly talented player who loved getting in the face of the opposition. I liked him and wished he played for us.

    Not sure which is better, a sober ghosty does walk, a peeezed one staggers, both highly entertaining I would have thought 😇

    So was Leigh Matthews, and he was also a thug.

    Did you know them personally?

    Agree, Brereton could have been an all time great had it not been for injuries.

    Randomly watched his open Mike interview with Mike Sheahan on YouTube few months back.. actually a really good watch if anyone has seen it.

    Brereton wasn’t a thug like Matthews. Matthews was a cowardly thug.

    It beats me to this day how a thug and coward like Matthews, who was de-registered as a player, can be regarded by many as an icon of out game.

    No, I didn’t. I watched how they played football though.

    Are you asking everyone else who’s commented similarly this same question?

    Didn’t think so.

    Grinter was a massive thug but universally loved by Melbourne fans.

    As you say, every club had at least one in their team back then.


    Back then you'd have to fight fire with fire and Grinter was our fire during that era and we loved him for it.
    I remember one day out at Waverly and Brereton cleaned up Dean Chiron at the opening bounce.
    It was Grinter who had him looking over his shoulder as he was the only player we had that Brereton was intimidated by.

    But here's a few biffs and bumps from our choir boys back in the day.

    I really believe the team will rally on Monday and win this.

    Its obviously a last ditch chance for finals.

    Goodys back is against the w

    All we need do is just bring our best , it will do.

    I'd like to some decent physicality against this mob that bullies us and gets away with it all top often.

    Both Jake and Kozzie to have a big day out.

    I watched the Pies dismantle the Dawks last week.
    They were impressive.
    Real impressive.

    Yeah we can win it no doubt.
    But everything has to go right.
    Need to play 4qtrs, our guns need to fire and take our opportunities.
    Choke in front of goal like usual and we're doomed ..... DOOMED I tell ya.

    Watch the number of times Howe pushes his opponent in the back once beaten in a marking contest but don’t count on a 50 metre penalty. He got away with it multiple times against Hawthorn last week.

    What has Kolt done at Casey, nothing!!!

    Laurie has been really good at Casey & deserves A FULL GAME!!!!!

    I don’t blame Goodwin for for our goal kicking, but selection integrity has been been embarrassing under him

    Laurie was dropped as shown via the Casey team changes. Laurie's best position is as an inside mid, not HF. Anyway, Kolt got a great write up by the VFL coach, your take is baseless

    Koltyn Tholstrup

    "Koltyn's role compliance on the weekend was a really strong once again. He got his rewards through his pressure acts inside 50 and up the ground, his tackles and smothers. His ability to be really calm and decisive with the ball impacted the scoreboard again which he's been able to do this consistently now which is great to see."

    Interesting. Could it be a deliberate tactic rather than plain old nastiness? Perhaps a forced delay to stop the oppo playing quickly is of more use these days than a 50m penalty deep in defence which give time for opponents to organise, so it's worth the risk of a 50m.

    So did Jeffo but doubt that he will play! Selection is a lottery at the Dees, how does Lever get a game over T Mac??? Madness!

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
