For 13 years I have been waiting for a player to excite me and capture my imagination like the great Allen Jakovich did

I have a strange old feeling that Maric could be that player

Oh how I pray!

like everything else you say yze I agree 100%

and for those giggling... no, really, seriously, I do!

    From limited footage I really like the look of Grimes.

    And MacNamara reminds me of Sydney's Craig Bolton.

    Yes I like the look and sound of Grimes - kicked off both feet under pressure OK in that footrage.

    McNamara yes Craig Bolton or maybe even a bit of McPhee in him? Laid an bone-crunching tackle on a player at speed.

    I know we don't look at the Wiz as kindly as we used to, but surely he would have gone close to capturing your imagination Y_M.

    ive always like to replace the petterd for bobby, Ricky Bobby just has a good ring to it. Majic sounds like a good one for the new kid.

    Ok, Wiz was special. His 2000 season was one for the ages

    But Jakovich was sometbing else

    yeh i agree with Ricky Bobby, i have always called him that since day dot. I think his team mates call him that too.

    No way will I be calling out 'Ricky Bobby' at a game. It sounds bloody stupid. No doubt all the morons in M53 will yell it out thinking they are creative

    Petterd doesnt even need a nickname. 'Ricky' is cool enough

    Hoist

    Yep, I've been using 'hoist', not so much as a name, just yelling it when he gets it.

    Such a dag.

    Us cool people at M51 all seem to call him Ricky... or maybe I'm just too loud to hear what anyone else calls him :D

    Ricky is definitely a good name, especially if you used to watch Ricky Lake (and I did... oh the shame! :unsure: )

    how about a follow on of the oooze calls, or the ang christou "woofs"

    when petterd kicks the ball, the crowd lets out a ric falir style WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    I think we have a beauty is Addam. Can also play midfield and is very good at it. The theory that he is a forward started approx 3 yrs ago when he was playing under 16 cannons, playing for Essendon Grammer and also player for Greenvale. As he was playing way too much footy, it was decided to play him forward especially for greenvale. 110 goals later in 11 games or so, a forward was born and coaches were reluctant to move a goalkicker away from goals.

    Watched him in a semi final against Darcy Daniher's team 3yrs ago. He kicked 5 or 6 goals from a total of 8 (he team got thumped) from the midfield, including a torp that went 60. Great kid and good family.

    As for nick names, we have always known him as 'Adds', although he was once called Gangully by an opposition cricket a few yrs ago...very funny. For the record, an awesome cricketer. Won our senoir b&f as a 14yr old, including 150 off 60 balls from a total on 180 for the team. He also scored another big innings of 230 odd not out one day.

    totally agree, he sounds like a ripper, the step up to afl is a big one and Dean Bailey wont be rushed in to playing anyone. Neitz is finished at years end Robbo the year after barring injury. Yze might find himself playing a lot with the Zebras this year. we are yet to see Baileys style of play but all our young forwards should be watching and learing how these two apply their trade.

    It makes no sense at all, but for some reason it feels right to nickname Maric 'Squid'.

    Beats me why. One of those moment like when Brown started calling Brock Mclean 'Chooka'.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
