Some suggestion today that CJ is the worst player to play for Melbourne. Not true. Here are some candidates:

Michael Young

Michael Byrne (before traded to Hawthorn)

Glenn McLean (traded to the fiflth)

Roger Ellingworth

James Frawley (His cousins could play better)

Alistair Nicholson

Tony Campbell

Ricky Jackson

Mark Jackson

Luke Molan (although to be fair he never played a senior game)

Stan Alves (because he slags on us at every opportunity because he didnt get the captaincy)

Diamond Jim Tilbrook (overpaid and over-rated)

Craig Turley

Nick Pesch

Luke Williams

Michael Seddon

 

It's hard to believe Nicho is a candidate for worst player - he was okay for us.

Did you ever see Ricky Jackson play? If so how could you even consider him for this list?

All of the above posters must be on a serious amount of crack and other narcotics because none of you mentioned DAMIEN GASPAR.

An Eskimo kickin' a fish around would look like more of a footballer than that complete clown. And calling him a clown isn't an insult, apparently he was the funniest bloke at the club, humour must be very highly rated at MFC for DAMIEN GASPAR to have ever played more than a quarter of football.

The 1987 preliminary final sealed his fate to the list. Simon Eishold has to go in as well.

Also Vin Catoggio for his 7 or 9 games played. Think we swapped Greg Wells to Carlton!!!!!

Joe Rugolo for mine , whilst Isaac Weetra is well on the way.

Stan Alves (because he slags on us at every opportunity because he didnt get the captaincy)

Stan Alves

226 games for MFC between 1965 and 1976.

2 B & Fs in 1972 and 1974

Runner up in Brownlow in 1975.

Captain 1973 to 1976

Represented Victoria 6 times.

Played 40 games for North Melbourne 1977 to 1978

1977 Premiership player.

Worst Player is he??

Woah, settle down tiger.

Bit harsh on Stan Alves, he was a club champion who was harshly dealt with by the club when it came to redo his contract.


That list fails because it doesn't have Damien Gasper.

Agree Jarka.

The Club treated its 1970s champions very very poorly. Their bitter treatment of Alves then Wells was appalling.

Have heard Stan on the radio in the last seven years. No t one positive comment about Melbourne. That's why he made the list


Whatever view one might have of a player it's a disgrace and an indictment on Wikipedia that it allows such nonsense as this on its pages -

"By the end of his career, Ward was best known for his inability to pick up an opponent or get his hands on the ball, and when he did get his hands on the ball he frequently coughed it up to the opposition, often resulting in goals. It is believed that his inability to play football in his last season played a large part in the sacking of coach Neil Daniher who was reluctant to drop him from the team."

Good criteria for worst player!

Given the way MFC has played over the past seven years we have given commentators good reason to be critical.

:lol: That the sort of rubbish you would get on this site.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
