Paul "The Count" Callery would be one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to know! Underrated but GREAT player, University Doctorate in Sports and Exercise Science AND fully qualified Carpenter/ Builder ( Hows that for Obscure not widely known info) Brilliant Golfer, Excellent Cricketer, Shocking fisherman! Just a wonderful human being!!

The fact that the National Competetition began in 1987 should therefore include that season Rob Flower 's last year and so he should be NO1 Schwarz was a better player than Gary Lyon. James Mc Donald a better player than Brad Green and or Cameron Bruce Clarry Choo Choo too low Brett Lovett always one of first picked for the big V Not sure Todd Viney gets a gig I reckon Glenn Lovett was a better player when not injured! Steve Tingay to low Shaun Wight should be lower

How we ever let Kevin Dyson go I'll never know!!? hard nosed midfielder with a touch of class and a thumping kick.

Great Bloke Bails and a sensational Cricketer Batsmen and Fielder!

Spargo Delist?? Why wasn't it done at end of last season?? Brown gets another go But Weeds comes in for sure! Jackson plays rest of the year. Maybe Rivers as well. Hibberd Gone!!

Need him more NOW!!!!!!!!

Absolute Fruitcake of the highest order. Tried to Snot Robbie Flower in a practice match. Paul O 'Brien saw red and tried to snot Jacko Fruitcake of the highest order!!

Brett Bailey IS an Fireman so there is your answer!!

Cale Morton....Gawd how Dreadful!! Bate.. not much better!!

Ok OUT Spargo never to play again. Brown was average but can see some advantages! Need Weeds to step up!

Well, I wore a jumper of sorts and have associations with the club and players! Since 64 GARBAGE... except. for glimmers of HOPE ! and plenty of time to get it right!!! Or am I being "Obtuse"

TARZAN GLASS!! One for the ages!!!

Yep and after ahhhh how many years........56 you can find some positives??? Give me a break. The amount of bungling, shocking draft selections,inability to develop players.. Over many many years ,Has meant we are almost still STILL a basket case!! Oh tell me that the 20 or so points we lost to West Coast 2 weeks ago was an aberration!! We were MILES of the pace. Look carefully at some of the players who STILL can get a game!! Spare Me!! Sorry!! Goody aint the answer and u can write of this year. Make no mistake we are still Pretty GOD damn ordinary!!

Quality Bloke and yet another example of MFC s inability to develop players Ahhhh!!

That is an insult George Lakes was a much much better player than Jimmy Toumpas!!

The Collingwood /Melbourne connection yeilded Billy Barham John Dellamarta Henry Coles Wayne Gordon All but Barham were solid enough at the times they played!

Yeah I loved Ingo as well!!

Or as Black Adder would say.... Ah I see so... all the noble minds in the world cannot find enough Gold and yet you Lord Percy have created it from Green Snot??

Add to that Glenn Giles ..... Slower then than I am now..... That is saying something!!

Um Brent Crosswells SON!!

Steve Clark RIP GREAT small forward/ Rover... great pick up!

Tom Flower, should have played a lot more games than he did ! Silky smooth left footer, evasive skills, Quick and could kick a goal. Kicked 5 Against the Filth which says a lot. His Demon Wiki stats are very impressive. But Carl Ditterich didn't like him so that was the end at MFC. Best First year player 1977 Top bloke as well!!

Ah Yep!!

I more or less agree with this Some big decisions coming up on AVB, OSCAR and to a lesser extent BENNELL, Baker may survive! The others are no brainers!

BOTH on the park!!!
