    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...

    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.

  • Quote

    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 ^^

    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'.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
