Demonstone

That number 5 looks alright. Clearly an all-time Demon champ and future captain.

I voted for Trapper, only because I reckon his very best was better than Yze's (who was more consistent). Crikey, there's some tough matchups ahead of us. It's like trying to choose your favourite child.

Must confess I'm finding this whole isolation thing a bit of a challenge, so much so that I've started to talk to inanimate objects around the house. I tried to discuss the situation with the microwave but it just keeps going around in circles. The toaster thinks we’re toast. I didn’t mention anything to the washing machine as it puts a different spin on everything. Certainly not to the fridge as it is acting cold and distant. The iron straightened me out and said no situation is too pressing, but it still left me feeling a little flat. The vacuum was very unsympathetic… told me to just suck it up but the fan was more optimistic and hoped everything would blow over soon. The toilet looked a bit flushed when I asked its opinion and the doorknob told me to get a grip. I lost it when wheelie bin gloated it’d been out more than me, the front door said I was becoming unhinged and the curtains told me to pull myself together.

Jeez, quite the little ray of sunshine aren't you? Not coping well with isolation?

No praha, the double of zero is zero. On a brighter note, we're only one game off top spot.

I've always understood the meaning of that word, as applied to footy, as meaning a player who has been around for many years and played at a few different clubs. I guess Led Zeppelin were right when they said that sometimes, words have two meanings.!

How can he be a journeyman? He's only ever played for one club.

Did Red Adair every pull on the guernsey?

Nathan Brown IIRC.

Some people are handling this isolation better than others. My missus is becoming hysterical, running around the house and banging on windows and doors. Tomorrow, I might let her in.

The Carlton Club Hotel in Gertrude Street, near Nicholson Street. Hasn't been a pub for many years and is now part of St Vincents. The Minton-Connells later took over the Rathdowne Tavern in Carlton.

You might be thinking of Matthew Bode, who could play a bit. Jace was pretty ordinary, alas.

Steven Icke gave us wonderful service and even won a B & F I think.

I used to drink at Adrian Minton-Connell's pub in Fitzroy in the late 80s and he was a lovely bloke. He married Peter Hudson's sister, Pam and they are the parents of Simon (also a top bloke).

Tim Smith was 'Bull'.

Thanks for the info Rog. That would explain the length at the back, but nothing excuses that shaved area above his ear!

How about that haircut! Surely he lost a bet.

Len Gandini, radar? Five games in 1986.

I think Coco may have been Neil Roberts, another Brownlow Medallist from St Kilda who won it the year after Brian Gleeson.

Gee, you're not wrong. I can only pick out Nathan Jones on the right and Max Gawn at the back in the cap. Any others?

Do mean Adam or Hassa?

Quite a complex person, I've been led to believe. There were many layers to him.

Ted Fidge played 42 games for us, and in last year of 1988 only played the one game ... but what a game! We were playing Collingwood at Waverley and Fidgey snotted Magpie star and matchwinner Darren Millane hard enough for Pants to have no further impact on the game (may have even been carried off). Young Ted copped six weeks from the tribunal and we never saw him again. We won the game by the way!

Yep, John Fidge played for us. We had very high hopes for him, but alas ... This from Demonwiki: The 1982 Victorian Teal Cup player and younger brother of Ted Fidge debuted two years later as a 17-year-old, and was a reliable forward in his first two seasons until right foot stress fractures kept him to just six games in 1986. He had been rumoured to be pursued by another league club earlier that season, but for 1987 was cleared to the newly formed Brisbane Bears at the end of that season for $125,000 - their fifth highest transfer fee for a recruit. Fidge played in the Bears winning first match, and appeared 16 times for them in 1987. After eight matches the next year he was sacked by the Bears three weeks into the 1989 season, apparently after punching Warwick Capper in an intra-club game and abusing coach Peter Knights. He then threatened to take the Bears to court for full payment of his contract. At the end of the year he was drafted by the Sydney Swans but instead chose to join SANFL side Glenelg where he became their full-forward. In 1990 he booted 124 goals. At the end of that year Essendon picked him with selection 24 in the National Draft, but he did not play a game for them. Returning to Glenelg in 1992 he kicked 92 goals out of a total of 316 in 69 games for the Bays, then joined Frankston in 1994. During his playing career Fidge had 20 operations, and later revealed that he played with spondiolythesis (back injury) throughout his time in the game.

I'll kick it off with guernsey numbers 1 to 10: Maysy, Jonesy, Saley, Harmesy, Traccy, Jacko, Vinny, Levery, Spargy and Brayshawy.
