MFC Cult Heroes

All cult heroes

 

Dinner's not quite ready yet so I'll throw my two bobs worth in to while away the time.

I'm not talking champions (Barassi, Flower etc) but the blokes we looked forward to watching each week to give us value for money when we were getting a thumping included, in no particular order:

Grinter

Fowler

Biffen

Jacko (Mark)

Jacko (brother of)

Rhino

Ricky Jackson (why not?)

Many more but that'll do for now.

Here are some of the favourites, some of whom were freaks but never champions but also a couple of champions thrown in:

- Haaassssa! The 60's hero of the kids (including me)

- Parke and Dillon! The first a freak Mark but a very average kick. The latter who sometimes could do almost anything but on other occasions was useless and couldn't pick it up when all alone in the goal square and would miss a sitter from 10 meters out (a bit of a 60's and early 70's Richo)

- Diamond Jim!!!!

- Biff! My favourite for many years and the only full-back I ever saw frequently run to the wing bouncing the ball

- Jacko!!!!! Mark and Alen and Ricky

- Robby!!!! Of course

- Strawbs!

- Ooooooooooze! Well, a few years ago

- Robbo! The heart and soul of the club

- Godders! The occasional hero

- Juice! Hopefully very soon

Probably a few other I've missed as well

 

Back in the day I'd say a big one was The Wiz.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
