My memory is poor and I have only managed to come with just 6 Melbourne players with first name of Jack.

No particular order mine are;

Jack Steele

Jack Billings

Jack Trengove

Jack Watts

Jack Viney

Jack Mueller (In my view the greatest of the Jacks.)

Can my fellow posters help swell this list?

Reminds me of this one match I was watching where St Kilda had six players named Jack on the field at the same time. A third of their team named Jack. And you’d have no excuse for not knowing this since BT mentioned EVERY FIVE [censored] MINUTES.

Hendo

Brilliant Google AI could only come up with 4:

At least four players named Jack have played for the Melbourne Football Club: Jack Viney, Jack Trengove, Jack Billings, and Jack Sinclair. Jack Viney is a current player, while Jack Trengove is a former captain. Jack Billings joined Melbourne in 2024, and Jack Sinclair played for the Melbourne Football Club for a short period after moving from St Kilda, although he is not currently on the list??

The best guide to find Melbourne players is the MFC Heritage numbers list. After my memory effort, I cheated and consulted this list and discovered a grand total of 53 Demon Jacks. Before the 1950s there were over 40. Popular name then! From my time following the Dees, I did forget Jack Grimes, Jack Henderson and going back to the 50s Jack Thomson. So 6 out of 9 is a bare pass! So Google list was pretty sparse wasn't it? Thanks Rod.

No one remembers “Me-off”? Surely.

More info, pls, Gawnie!

Sure.

Jack Me-Off, Irish born native taken in the third round of 2023. 😂

And wasn't this guy one of the Jacks taken in our little-known original Irish experiment?...
