He may not be in form currently, but Tom McDonald possesses the right attributes too

Poor under pressure

Gawn - hasn’t lost it

6 - Oliver 5 - Viney 4 - Brayshaw 3 - Frost 2 - Harmes 1- Melksham

Viney - came to play Jones - has become irrelevant Oliver - was all class Jetta - slow and inept O.McDonald - had little involvement T.McDonald - played amateurish football Salem - was found out Hibbert - ineffectual and disappointing Hunt - had no influence Sparrow - offered very little Neal-Bullen - devoid of relevance Frost - was actually impressive Lockhart - just a game Kolodjashni - Gold Coast reject Harmes - many irrelevant possessions May - little to enthuse Weideman - continued being underwhelming Melksham - had some presence Brayshaw - prolific not damaging Fritsch - has lost momentum Petracca - had no impact

Not according to the official Demons website

Frost( 192cm) is listed as only marginally shorter than Weidemann ( 193cm) and has a body and agility far better suited to pinch hitting in the ruck. May comes in for anyone, and plays in defense, whilst Frost relieves Max in the ruck and allows Weidemann to stay up forward and avoid heavy body collisions in the ruck.

Viney - obviously not ready Jones - embarrassing and costly Salem - our ONLY winner Jetta - loose and slow Hibberd - disposal was abysmal O. McDonald - no redeeming component Frost - a total liability Petracca - still looks overweight T. McDonald - no second efforts Weidemann - overrated and underwhelming Spargo - has a brain Oliver - rarely advantaged us Brayshaw - possessions without purpose Harmes - tried but limited Gawn - was easily overcome Hunt - far from convincing Neal-Bullen - laughably our fittest Sparrow - not the worst Fritsch - just some cameos Melksham - not as fluent Hoare - lacked game awareness Wagner - not the answer

Ridiculous act by May.. one week penalty is appropriate

I’m not clever enough to be able to bring up the photos but David Neitz and former Victorian and Australian cricketer John Hastings ( pre hair removal )have an uncanny resemblance

I’m pretty sure our ‘saviour’ Jackson left Essendon under acrimonious circumstances... that obviously didn’t impinge on the results he’s achieved with us

I believe McCartin will suffer from the same syndrome our own John Fidge did about 30 years back. He came to us as a man-mountain of a 17 year old who'd dominated schoolboy football because..he could, but either through lack of desire or lack of appropriate coaching for a precociously talented junior, he failed to rise to any heights and was eventually shafted to Brisbane and ignominy.

Dennis Cometti has occasionally let slip that the Dees have always been his sentimental favorites

Watch footage of him on You Tube and you'll be hugely impressed . He's a boy mountain , and obviously still growing , whilst his athleticism for one so tall is outstanding , as is his desire to put himself into a contest . I think we can feel as excited about this one as we do about our first two picked prodigies .

Flower - graceful , stylish , unmannable , skinny Schwarz - guile , strength , heart , passion Jakovic - genius , accurate , thrilling , tough Parke - probably the best mark ever at the club ( in my lifetime ) Tingay - stylish , determined , exquisitely skilful

As I mentioned elsewhere , I recall this talented young man following up his 8 goals with the Dees by taking 8 wickets a week or two later as an opening bowler with the Melbourne district cricket first eleven.

Smoker ended his football career with Williamstown 2nds at the end of last season.

Does anyone remember a player by the name of David Hone, who played as an amateur ( or came from the amateurs ) and who was a brilliant and courageous standout immediately at centre half back, but then disappeared, virtually overnight ,possibly to continue his studies?

I believe Cuthbertson is still playing good quality senior football in the Diamond Valley League An interesting fact about Glenn Swan is that he followed up his 8 goals for Melbourne by taking 8 wickets the following weekend ( I think ) playing for Melbourne 1sts in District Cricket .
