  1. Do people get off on spelling his name McClean? It's only been six years afterall...
  2. Lovely stuff! And while we're at it, here's another article I turned up from December 1987 Would have been a handy player with handy off-spring you'd think.
  3. Surely we're going to get our own man in there. But who? Back to Mark Williams? Kelly O'D?
  4. Nobody can use the "they're just following the laws" argument when you see them blatantly 'put it away' in the last quarter. Pay it all day or not at all - then I'll blame the league.
  5. St. Kilda have held this title since Round 1, 1897.
  6. Didn't hurt that he had experienced players like Ward, Brown, Bizzell, Pickett and Yze/White in their last useful year. Besides beating Carlton twice (once in a complete farce) and a pretty ordinary Footscray side in the second half of that year was hardly a great trial. Not saying he wasn't any good but you can't possibly compare a coach in the most of an epic rebuilding phase to a caretaker who smacked a couple of ordinary sides and had a last-up win handed to him on a platter by some cheats. The only thing that troubles me about Bailey to this day a year and a half later is just how Isaac Weetra got one game let alone two.
  7. I'm dying for the day when we win an absolute thriller that really means something. He seems calm down but I reckon he's got it in him to go right off.
  8. Hi punters, just wanted to bump this with an update on Demon Wiki - but as an additional bonus I'll put up the most bizarre article I've found while researching. First things first - it's the 1987 prelim, a plane load of Melbourne fans heading for Bangkok, Steve Vizard and Lobbie Flower Anyway, enough casual racism from the mid 80's - back to business. Since the last post in this thread we've got our act together and finished adding pages on every player and every match. They're not all hugely in-depth but the framework is there if you want to add something or write up a profile on somebody. Help on current players would be much appreciated as I'm too busy trawling the 70's and 80's to concentrate on what's going on in 2009. As of right now there are 4137 pages on there from grand finals and premiership captains to supplementary list players, failed draftees and the Grand Final sprint. If anyone has any pictures or old school team lists that they can help with that would be much appreciated. URL for anyone who hasn't seen it is wiki.fcmelbourne.com P.S - While we're at it, if you're on twitter follow @demonblog for updates and general shenanigans.
