Pulled off the M Clark deal one trade period. Regsrded as the deal of the draft at the time. 20/20 - No - then, yes.

Great effort R n B. You've assumed Petracca is going to make it like Brayshaw. I hope so too and that your selection is vindicated. But we are Melbourne. We need pace, pace and more pace. Against GWS we looked slow and static. Another big forward option so we are not one dimensional with Jesse. Someone like - er - Mitch Clarke.

Early Dawes

Think Chips the only one there without a Premiership medallion. BTW Cheney recalled for Crows.

Yeah the count was pretty anonymous - broadcast on radio. None of the sycophantic Demetriou or gushing Bruce. It was actually better. First one televised was Peter Bedford 1970.

How about games played?

The other high flyer I recall is Russell Colcott

"Mid to late 70s" - Hardeman played in South Australia. I'm thinking early 70s - Hardeman always seemed to have the better of him. Despite being some of our worst years - until now - we actually had Hardeman, Frank Davis and Tony Sullivan as Victorian State players. Our half back line all represented Victoria.

Jesse's face smiles down at me in Demon jumper as I log into NAB Banking.

Might have been the year after Greg Wells

Check my avatAr ~ words not pics Let's say I don't think Melbourne supporters ever saw the best of Royce Hart Hardeman returned in 81 after a few years in Adelaide. Wore 9 on return.

Won in March April May June July August and September

We played Essendon "reserves" at start of season

Actually the HZ was two models after the Hj - with the HX in between.

PIES STAND TALL - Week after conceding nine goal final quarter to the Tiges and bizarre comments from their skipper - the Pies put the Premier team of the last decade to the sword. That's how a team fights back. Nothing game with Geelong's September on the line. Come on Melbourne.

In Vietnam but I'll be in town early September. Do I go? Only seen two shellackings this year so far. Think I might add my non - attendance to the negativity/protest (non ) crowd.

I switched FROM Hawthorn in 1965 - bad call.

Yeah our midfield - maybe we get outplayed by Hawthorn or other Top 4 side. But Carlton? No Judd and Gibbs subbed out injured

You can add Year, Decade, half Century

Wow We outscored Carlton so far this quarter. Guess supporting this mob worse than bad marriage. Don't think I'll renew membership - this hurts from Vung Tau

Hulk won't wanna stay if we throw $15 m at him

Least we got Brendan McCartney help with game day

Chunky is great but hardly in Sam Mitchell class - kneeing aside. Guess its the old story - in 60s and 70s I'd see fringe players cleared to other clubs look a lot better with class players all around; Michael Byrne. Watts sweeping for Geelong at their prime doesn't bear thinking about. Nice assessment overall.

Yep - don't think we ever got them in official 4 point game there. Actually saw the very last official AFL game there - night pre-season semi about 97 - 98. Drug cheats did us.

Like Einstein said when told Hitler had 100 German scientists sign a letter saying Einstein was wrong : "it only takes one scientist to show me where I'm wrong." I'll try n check the stats but don't think we ever got the Tiges at Waverley. Maybe something with the G being vacant or co- tenants. Not sure.
