Fellow Demonlanders
Do you think Melbourne are missing some star "mongrel" types just at the minute?
Do you think the effectiveness of the "mongrel" is no longer prominent given video technology and rule changes designed to make AFL football a safer game?
How effective would Leigh Mathews be in this age and do you think he could adjust his style and be just as good?
Since 66 from what you've read or seen who would you rate to be Melbourne's 6 most effective "mongrel" players in order.
For me without consulting any memorabilia and straight off the top of my head as follows
Ditterich
Biffen
Molloy
Fowler
Grinter
Viney
I couldn't think of one player in the current Melbourne list that would go close.
Current terminology "hardnud"...
