83, 85, 97 and 00. Glorious. And no moving to lower numbers later either, that's just rubbish.

There should be a hasbeens and hacks list where you can put one 100+ game player's name down every year but they can only play if you permanently put somebody off the list through the year through injury. Then clubs could give a guy like this a gig as a specialist coach and know that if there's a black death style injury crisis halfway through the year they've got somebody to throw in there and fill a gap. Even better, a hasbeen draft where each club gets to pick one of them so we can have the modern equivalent of Collingwood drafting Gerard Healy even though he didn't nominate and told them that he had no interest. With rubbish ideas like this I'm a cert to be seconded to the AFL Commission any day now.

Ever since Meesen was described as "training the house down" only to not be seen for a year I'll never trust pre-season form again

Pretty rude of Al Qaeda to ruin her 10th birthday

No, I'd be like J**d and tease going there only to take a massive dubious payday from an external company to empty the bins somewhere and play a bit of footy on the side.

They must have patched things up after Carroll biffed him!

There was nobody called Honey in 76/77/78 because I was looking in Footy Records from those years just the other day. Will let you know if I turn anything up.

He was flying back here every week to play for St Kilda City so I wouldn't be surprised if he fired up and came over to get on it during the racing carnival.

And the greatest post match interview ever with Jamar just walking off on that goose Andy Maher.

At one point he was playing for Northern State University in the US And even though that sounds like the most generic, made up name for a university ever it was in fact true http://www.nsuwolvesathletics.com/news/2010/5/20/MBB_0520100650.aspx?path=mbball

Hi, I'm retarded

Good point, should have been this guy http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/James+MacDonald EDITED.

Both played reserves for us as top up players.

Didn't end well for Richard Wardill http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Richard+Wardill

As I said in the other thread if you click into their profiles on this page http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Other+Players a lot of players have already got some info about them - more so in this era than the others because it's easier to keep track of players 2000 onwards through the internet. Still, already some info I didn't know that I can add to the respective player profiles. Thanks everyone.

Cheers Jack, There's already some information about most of those players in their profiles already, but anything else would be a bonus. Also looking for old reserves and under 19's teamsheets to fill in more names of people who didn't play seniors. This is one of my favourites from that era - the original overseas invasion http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Felix+Strachov

To be completely pedantic it was the WAFL where he played for Peel Thunder (where he did the threepeat goalkicking, though they were pretty rubbish in that era..) and East Fremantle.

What about when we bought half the players from the 1977 Grand Final(s) and got doughnuts from it?

Are Crosswell/Kavanagh the only F/S combo in AFL history to not have the same surname? Both Barassi and Flower's sons were in the mix to get picked up by us (in the 80's and early 2000's respectively) but nothing came of it. Also in another odd family twist, Todd Viney's youngest brother trained with us after 2000 to try and get drafted.

Is it this game? http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/1993+Practice+Match+vs+Northern+Territory+FL because I've got no other info on it..

If you want to cheat here's one I prepared earlier http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/family Also, a work in progress is the list of players who had relatives at other clubs http://wiki.fcmelbourne.com.au/Family+at+other+clubs

I've got the tape as well, but sadly no VHS player to watch it on. He got reported for abusive language though, not striking. Copped a $750 fine but still got three Brownlow Votes.

I always wonder what he would have done to Fitzroy in R2, 1991 if he hadn't been dropped after we kicked two all day against the Eagles in R1. Problem was that then Bennett, and later Cuthbertson, started kicking big bags so he couldn't force his way back into the side properly until DC lost form in the middle of the year. Great memories of that 11 goal bitchslapping of Mick Martyn against North where he did the bicycle kick goal.

Hughes must be pushing the record for the worst 'years on list for senior games' ratio of any MFC player ever. Maric is under contract until the end of next year so he's not going anywhere. My guess is that they'll chop PJ, try to re-rookie T. Mac and axe Meesen/Hughes/Healey. Newton to survive in a miracle worthy of taking place in a Chilean mine.

Actually we have one of the All Australian bench players.
