being the best player in the comp for one quarter a season for like 3 years.

 

[Headless]

Why did we never draft Nick Sautner?

 

[Topkent]

Why did we never draft Nick Sautner?

I think VFL players in general in that era were looked at as shit until the cats punted on Podsiadly.

Michael Newton being the best player in the comp for one quarter a season for like 3 years.

Which Danny Hughes? The 1980's version was a solid FB.

 

[Headless]

I think VFL players in general in that era were looked at as s**t until the cats punted on Podsiadly.

Pretty grouse VFL career. 873 goals from 260 games from 1997-2010.

Nine-time league goal-kicking award, nine-time VFL team of the year.

Reckon Sautner would get a look-in these days.

in that random memory team.

 

[Topkent]

I would put 1999 premiership player Shannon Motlop in that random memory team.

It's one of those ones where you remember why he played for us and it takes a bit of the fun away of it.

 

[Topkent]

Which Danny Hughes? The 1980's version was a solid FB.

Clearly I don't remember the 1980s version so probably the shit son who we listed.

 

[00Stinger]

Michael Newton being the best player in the comp for one quarter a season for like 3 years.

I knew the recruiter who was responsible for drafting him

Would tell he will take mark of the year one day and was going to be a gun

He got the mark of the year park right i guess

F - Declan Keilty

Games with Declan Keilty in the side in 2019: 2-0

Games without: 3-17

I thought Daniel Hughes was that guy on our list for ages before getting a game and then I realised that was Tim Smith.

Mark Jamar walking away from a post game interview with Andy Maher after a match v Collingwood.

Was that the draw in 2010? I kinda remember that, he felt all bummed because he was outmarked late which let the Pies get the levelling goal

kicking our first 2 goals against Brisbane Round 1 2012.

Kicked the first, went the double cobra celebration then got a soft free kick straight after and slotted his 2nd.

Brisbane then over-run us and we lose by like 7 goals

That and the Port game the next year as round 1 games were beyond depressing as a fan.

I would like some kind of partial lobotomy if it can wipe the afternoon of round one 2013

 

[stEdy]

Yep. That Port game where Viney on debut was probably our best player? Christ thats bleak

I blame myself for the Brisbane game, we were 3 goals to 1 up and I changed seats at the ground, we then got smoked.

The 2013 game vs Port was truly dire - I left early in the 3rd quarter, we'd come into the game as favourites and when it became clear we were going to get thumped it was a massive kick in the guts after terrible 2012. Didn't go to another game that year until the last game against the Dogs, Daveys last game.

That was the first game I went to after moving to Melbourne and I was so excited that I would be able to go to any home game I liked. I stayed all four quarters in the rain as a penance for being so stupid, and spent most of it thinking how much nicer it might be to shovel shit and salt in Siberia

Agree. He never passed the hair test

 

[Toump Ass]

My random Melbourne Demons memory I think of randomly is schmuttt punching a large motor vehicle after losing to Geelong in Geelong. I admit I never actually saw it, but I’ve heard the tale recounted by many, so the imagery is vivid, moreso than many actual memories I have.
