Whelan over Bizzell any day

Whelan over Bizzell any day

Opted for one each of a mid and small back instead of two smalls. The Biz was damn good for us, don't underestimate him because of the way he finished.

 

He had one good year, and a few Ok ones.

Whelan has played the whole 8.5 years as a solid, very reliable defender. Bizz played 88 games for us, Wheels is on 130.

Whelan has been kept out largely through injury, having rarely missed when fit, whereas Bizzell struggled to find a spot in the team once Rivers came in. I know he was injured throughout '06, but personally i'd take a more reliable, consistent player over the course of the decade, over a player who had a few good seasons and then fell away

Fair enough, I still think Bizzell deserves a spot ahead of him because his best was at a much higher level. Wheels is one of my favs so it has nothing to do with bias.

Geez - Who would have thought...

Nathan Carroll : "Full Back of the Cenury"

It was either him or Nicho, the best ever number 22 draft pick...

It was either him or Nicho, the best ever number 22 draft pick...

I would have given the nod to Nicho. Just because his beard slightly outshines Disco's mo.


Nicho ahead of Nath. Not an endorsement though.

And Bizzell was fantastic from the time he came to us to when he smashed his head against Adam Simpsons' knee in Rd.9(?) 2005.

Smart courageous player, loved him.

Ingerson gets a gig because he was a dam fine player, dont underestimate what he did for us.

Pity we didn't get one more year out of Vardy when he was at his best. He was a gun when in form.

He's been great since retiring in 99, good call

My comment about Ingerson was due to the fact that he didn't play that many games since the turn of the century, don't get me wrong, Ingerson was a great player for us and easily our best key defender since Danny Hughes.

What he said ^^

What he said ^^

Big Al ahead of Carroll for mine.

Also perhaps Steve Febey at the expense of Walsh or Ingreson

Febey was very very good in '00 and 01 that said Walsh was a decent player and played more of the 'century'.

He's been great since retiring in 99, good call

OOPS my mistake, Has it really been that long singe G Lyon was around?

brent grgic in the backline??

My memory is stuffed due to painkillers so i have trouble withdates.. he was pretty goodi dont think brown dog b4 wheels or febes...

Danny Hughes and Sean White are two of my all time favs, the Febey's frustrated me cause I felt they only had really good seasons in the years that their contracts came up.

But who is gator?

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
