What's Barass done wrong?

Barassi has forgotten where he came from!!!!!
 
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."

That's the most factual thing I've ever read on Wikipedia.

Is "clanger" on Wikipedia? If so is there a photo of Wardy?


Forgot to put in Tom Flower

TF Might of stuggled with a footy in the 70's but is a sensational Golfer now

Plays of about 2

How about "Glen Molloy" . Think that was his name, played mid 90,s

Adrian Campbell - We got him from The Dog's, was useless

GARLAND. Is right up there with the best. he must be moved on ASAP if Bails is serious.
 

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

[/quote

Stan Alves definitely one of our BETTER players. Not a logical reason to rate him poorly because of the reason given. I reckon Ricky Jackson was very good. Gave us plenty of life on the forward line. Nicko played well enough to be not on this list. Of the others I would agree they were not good players.

Wikipedia is just bigfooty for the international market, absolutely anyone can make the posts and it's for that reason why I ignore it.

James Cook kicked six in his first game for the Demons then did a knee the following week and finished his career. How is he the worst player?


Stan Alves

Runner up in Brownlow in 1975.

Captain 1973 to 1976

Represented Victoria 6 times.

Played 40 games for North Melbourne 1977 to 1978

Dont agree with Hotel

Jamie Shanahan. End Thread.

I saw Shanners destroy Lockett in a final. Lockett got 2 of the most tiggie touch frees that night and kicked his ton. Never forget the amount of Melbourne fans partying in the middle of the "G" that night. Think it was 2nd or 3rd quarter. Never forget that sight. One of my greatest memories.

Hey all.

Long time reader first time poster!

Had to add....... Brian Stynes, brother of Jim.

1 memorable game. I'm still stiching my sides up.

I believe that Jim demanded he get a game as part of his contract.


Name a player you were better than who played for the Melbourne Football Club.

Im tipping most here who have picked off ex-players have never had a mouthguard their whole adolescent lives.

Whoever was the muppet that threw Stuart Spencers name into this cesspit of a thread, should be banned.

Jamie Shanahan. End Thread.

I'll take Jamie Shanahan over Nathan Carroll any day.

Andy Goodwin and Simon Godfrey are worst for mine. Both tried hard, but were awful.

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

Hahah.

Franky, I think we can accept that 99% of the posters here have not played footy at the highest level. It doesn't mean that we can't have an opinion on those that have. I'm getting tired of the whole "what have you done?" argument that permeates throughout this site. Its a discussion board.

However, I do agree with you about Stuart Spencer. Unfortunately, if everyone was banned for making stupid comments, the only posters remaining would be the moderators and Yze_Magic.

............and FWIW, Simon Eishold is the single worst player in the history of the club since its inception.

Shut the gate.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
