Bobby McKenzie

I received my Heroes book yesterday. One week after ordering from Perth. Quite fast I reckon. If you haven't got your copy yet get one! It is very uplifting to read of the feats of our recent heroes as well as those further back. Ron Barassi, Robert Flower, David Schwarz, David Neitz, Stephen Tingay, Rod Grinter, Alan Johnson etc etc. Reading about these and many other great players gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling. A belief that you are lucky to be barracking for the Melbourne Football Club. Get a copy if you don't believe me! ( PS I am not a publicity officer for the MFC.)

Excellent thinking 'the fork'. Good to see a truly loyal and wise supporter. Do those after blood really think they will influence the powers to be? I hope they are clever enough to realise that what they say and think (IF READ AT ALL), will rightly be taken with a grain of salt. Constructive criticism is great but player sledging does not help at all. We should see more posts from you and those like you.

No mate, absolutely no connection. I just can't hack some posters blaming him every week when he always runs his guts out. Incidentally, he was named our 3rd best on the official AFL website. Maybe I'm not alone or the reporter was his brother!

Yeah, YM is delusional on many occasions 'Addam Magic'. Now he has told me that I must be RELATED to Mr Bruce. I've never ever met the guy but I do know that he is a bloody good footballer and we would be up a well known creek without him. I have suggested that Bruce pinched his girlfriend on a couple of occasions and he's never denied it. Hmmmm! Imagine the team we would have if he was chairman of selectors.

What have I done Jaded? I merely asked how I could get a copy of the book. What is going on here?

Absolute CRAP! Watch the replay for the other things in footy, spoils,tackles, clearances. You and a couple of others are being hoodwinked by YM.

Thanks for your help guys. Much appreciated!

Can some kind person tell me how I can contact the MFC to place an order for the 150 Heroes book? I cannot make any sense from their website.

I agree. My votes: 6 McLean 5 Garland 4 Bruce 3 Jones 2 Aussie 1 Wheatley

Good advice from a SANE person 'Mono'. You CAN see a good footballer when you see one. I take the bait every time don't I? If I was a fish I'd have been gone a long time ago.

At it again YM? 27 possies is exactly 27 times as many as you would get bright boy! You are so one-eyed and bloody biased. Take heed of what WJ told you and stop your BORING,BORING,BORING ZZZZZZZZZZZ Bruce bashing. We are fed up with your refusal to admit that you are WRONG! Get a NEW pair of binocculars mate! AND CHANGE THE CD! Your comments are as repetitious as reports on suicide bombings in Iraq.KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF. We Are sick of hearing them.

Have another look 'belzebub'. Rod Grinter is there! And deservedly too!

Well spoken'grazman'. I endorse your thoughts exactly. In my 150 heroes list I would have selected Geoff McGivern, Billy Deans, Stephen Icke,and another redhead in the Bluey Adams mould, Peter Walsh. Jamie Duursma and Kevin Dyson almost made it too. Who to leave out of the original list? Probably Paul Hopgood and Peter Rhode, but to leave out anyone else is almost impossible. I think the selectors got it right.

Thanks 'mickrocks' for providing this information. An imposing list indeed. I have been following Melbourne for a long time and I counted 105 heroes that I have seen in action. Not blowing my own trumpet, but of those in my time I did pick 84 of them correctly. I was surprised that Geoff McGivern and Billy Deans did not make the cut. They were wonderful premiership players.

So you know more about the game and players abilities than the panel of selectors do you YM? Who cares if you are unhappy with this IMPOSING list of Melbourne players. I told you a while ago that Cam Bruce would be there didn't I? It is very unhealthy your intense hatred of him. You should be very happy that your idol Yze was included. By the way, how many best and fairests and all Australian selections did Jakovich achieve?

Hey 'realist' apart from keeping us all in suspense go easy on this Country member bit. I am a Country/interstate member and I don't sniffle!

Even though I dislike North Melbourne as a team, I cannot help but admire their fighting spirit. Almost every week they offer stern opposition and never give up. Tonight's effort against Geelong was just so typical of their 'never say die' spirit. The looked like they were in for a real belting at quarter time but continued to fight back. They are not loaded with talent and on paper look like pushovers. BUT THEY RARELY ARE EASY BEATS! I love my Demons fervently but wish they could show the same spirit week in and week out. Sadly, over many years, our mental approach has been questioned. Is this a coaching problem or do we have too many players who think they are better than they really are? Maybe Monday will be one of those days when we give it our all and knock those magpies off their perch AGAIN!

You missed me YM. Bob McKenzie averaged 2.0 from a half forward flank! (125 games).

Command or commend? You are a dominant lady aren't you?

He was ELECTED into co-captaincy by the players. So blame THEM since according to you, they don't know his abilities and leadership skills as well as you and his other critics do. Do you know him personally? James McDonald hasn't been setting the world on fire this year but do you question HIS leadership capabilities? No it all falls back on scapegoat Bruce. You are the laughing stock making statements like that.

He was named in the Herald Sun as one of our best. But you are allowed to disagree! Can you HONESTLY state that he was the sole reason for our poor game today? Can you HONESTLY say he doesn't run his guts out in his endeavours? Why do certain bashers point the finger at Cam every time we have a bad day? It is blatantly unfair and unfounded. Did you bother to read 'Mick 2007' facts on Bruce this season? By the way, living in Perth made it a bit hard to be at the game but I watched the whole match on foxtel. (Delayed telecast). Don't you think you get a much better view of the game on TV compared to being at the game? You do miss a lot when the ball is far,far away. Maybe that happened to you today. (Assuming you went of course!). You are a quiet Bruce knocker aren't you?

Yeah, 'mick2007', but Jaded reckons he's having an 'awful' season so she must be a better judge than you and I and the MFC selectors. Those stats really indicate his true worth but it fails to convince a MINORITY of our posters.

Get out there and do better BRAVE BOY!

You are getting as bad as YM in your bagging of Bruce. Melbourne lose again and who do you blame? Bruce. Have a look at today's stats and think again. Bruce 21 poss.@76%, Moloney 15@67%, Yze 15@60%, SYLVIA 19@68%, White 18 @ 67%, Jones 20 @ 60%. Bruce gets over 20 possessions every week and continues to run his guts out and yet you still find him accountable over all others. Be fair and get off his back! I notice too that others who support Bruce have not fallen for the bait that YM has presented. They have not bothered to respond to his and YOURS unfounded criticism. Get out there mate and do BETTER!

Good work 'True Believer' I hope the Dees reward you with a win against the Saints!
