I agree i think it might last a few players in a row but then it changes all of a sudden.

But in saying that look at 27 Rivers, Ingerson, Sean White.

Also is there anytking online there must be.

Just every now and then a singular post brings a far away look and a desire to open a better red than that already picked out.

Good one graz.

ps do you have something against 13? yze - Jakovich

pps went with a St.Hallet FAITH!

[demonsflag555657 3]

Max Walker 46

[WonnaJurah 5]

10 big carl

[WonnaJurah 5]

44 nicho

28 matty collins?

[grazman 7,406]

Max Walker 46

He only wore it for one season... hence..

DemonStorm

I really liked Matty Collins, but realistically does he deserve to be in the same company as those above?

Nicho is best remembered for number 8, my personal favourite in 44 was one John Fidge... but see above.

Big Carl whilst good, I only consider a part time Demon.

Franky

Jacka was hard to leave out, the colour the flair, but alas too brief.... "It's better to burn out than fade away!" I'll take your word on the red, I'm pretty uncouth... but I do enjoy Taswegian beer.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Well done Graz.

And good choice Franky on the drop.

I would have thought the following would have qualified:

22: Shane McGrath in the 40s must have been close to 3 flags 40,41 and 48

23: R Wartman classy midfielder with 3 flags 1939-41

24: Its Tiger's but Percy Beames can feel stiff to miss

26: Ian Thorogood had good claims with 3 to 4 flags

However when you look through the names (and take another sip of red) you realise that since the late 60s we have churned some real crud through the list with too few quality players amongst them.

Whats it with the red

13. Allen Jakovich

We have all players entered into our database at Demonology.

You can view them by Guernsey Numbers, Heritage Number, Surname, Year Played and so on.

Re - 16

Travis Johnstone > Andy Lovell

I would put John Townsend ahead of both. TJ has been a chronic underachiever over 10 years at MFC.

The Number 16 has not been a number at MFC with a roll call of greats.

9. Alan Johnson deserves to be in this company.

22. Chris Connolly.

Alan Johnson and Laurie Fowler as well (Won 3 or 4 Blueys)

Adrian Battiston, absolutely loved him.

[Allus Monk 568]

23 - Geoff Tunbridge - 4 premierships

[north westerly 40]

Forget Ivor Warne-Smith (no disrespect intended)

14 - RODNEY GRINTER !!!!!!!!

[Tim 3,413]

"The Number 16 has not been a number at MFC with a roll call of greats."

Big Bob Johnson will do me, and his dad (also #16) was a topliner as well - 302 goals in 113 games from CHF, including 6 in a winning GF.

[Guest The Tiger Of Old]

23 - Geoff Tunbridge - 4 premierships

Yes. A good mate of mine.

He is getting married to the lovely Fiona in April next year....

At the 'G'..!!!!

I'll be there - It's going to be awesome!!!
