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.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

  • NON-MFC: Round 7

    Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
