Monbon

Played 7 games...Talk of any Demon side post 1964 must mention Jakovich in some context!

Demonwicki lists 1 Hart- played 1 game in 1943...Who is this Ben Hart?

Yep: Woewodin and Wilson...Unforgivable in both cases.

Yes: I missed too many: Howe, Bruce, Bishop, Armstrong, Parkes, Trengove, Dunne, Yes, I have no love for Scully.

Tingay didn't play a game at the Swans: he was injured all the time....

That's what I thought and meant.

Backs: Walsh Frawley Hughes Half Backs: McLean Rivers Spalding Centres: Alves Wells Lovell Half Forwards: Pyke Hogan Watts Forwards: Farmer Jakovich Healey Rucks: Jolly, Barassi, Elshaugh Bench: Thompson, Dyson, Keenan, Byrne, Charles

Also, I forgot about Stephen Powell....And my biggest blunder: Carl Ditterich

Then again, I based the side on players who 'played' for other AFL sides in the Firsts... Farmer would make my side of Fabulous Melbourne exports...Scully would not be considered for selection...

I wondered that as well. He played over 60 games in Hawthorn Reserves. If that was counted, he'd be the first picked. Then there's Ricky Jackson...

You are absolutely correct: he came 3rd in 1980: apologies...

By Imports, I mean players from other AFL clubs.

Agree 100%: but I had to include Icke and Rhode...

During a bout of insomnia I formulated a side which incorporated a Melbourne side composed solely on Imports: Backs: Fowler May Ingerson Half Backs: Icke Lever Rohde Centers: Langdon Wilson Bizzell Half Forwards: Vardy Moore Crosswell Forwards: Pickett, Brown Shaun. Smith Rucks: White Vince, Coles Bench: Clarkson, Gary Baker, Wayne Gordon ( the Best and Fairest winner the year before he died,) Jarrott, Templeton Emergencies: Cross, Seekamp, Holland, I had to fit three ruckmen into side - Brownlow Moore, Baker and White and Moore played a season or so at Collingwood as a Forward. Ben Brown or Templeton:?Brown because he played in a Premiership side.

I had to play Neitz as Full Forward, hence Lyon CHB where he played some great games.

6: Viney 5: Oliver 4: Grundy 3: McDonald 2: Hunter 1: McVee Unlucky: Rivers, Fritsch, Petracca,

We have many players in common.

Trent Rivers is THE next superstar at Melbourne. Let it be recorded that I wrote that.

I go back to the losing 1958 Grand Final which I watched with my 6 year old and four year old sister. I was 8, knew zilsch anout 'Footy'. As my daughter said not that long ago : Why do you always barrack for losers? Fowler, Tas Johnson, May Brett Lovett, Lyon, Hardeman Alves, Mann, Flower Green, Schwartz, Davey Farmer, Neitz, Petracca Gawn, Barassi, Oliver Whelan, S.Smith, Stynes, Travis Johnstone, Dixon, Wight, Wilson, Moore.

6: Oliver 5: May 4: lever 3: Rivers 2: Langdon 1: Petracca Unlucky: Chandler, Grindy, McVee,

Bowey is not an 'In', and neither should he be!

Talk about hysteria: 'could've killed the bloke'?????Please....

How????You heard of Leigh Matthews? Never killed anyone....

Had it happened to 'ours', what would we be complaining about? Smith played out the rest of the game, got back on his tootsies immediately. Pontius Pilate, where is thine sting??????

You just get off on suspenders...
