I dunno... something different and light-hearted, if this doesn't build into a big thread, doesn't matter. LoL.

If you could build the ultimate Melbourne F.C footballer, using certain attributes of players from our current list... who would you pick???

Eg.

Physical attributes

Height

Build

Speed

Endurance

Agility/evasiveness

Mental attributes

Decision making

Leadership

Work-rate

Reading the play

Skills

Kick

Handball

Mark

Tackling

Feel free to add more 'attributes' if you think of any.

I would build another David Neitz.

My 'Frankenstein' would be:

Height - Martin

Build - Sylvia

Speed - Davey

Endurance - Dunn

Agility/evasiveness - Davey

Decision making - Undecided

Leadership - Miller/Green

Work-rate - Jones

Reading the play - Garland

Kick - C. Johnson

Handball - Undecided

Mark - Bate

Tackling - Whelan

Chris Judd

Interesting topic! Does Neitz still qualify for this?

Fwiw...

Physical attributes

Height- Martin (198cm)

Build- Miller

Speed- Davey / Buckley

Endurance- Bruce / Dunn

Agility/evasiveness- Davey

Leap- Robbo / Sylvia

Mental attributes

Decision making- McLean / Davey

Leadership- Neitz(?). Green

Work-rate- Miller / Jones

Reading the play- Rivers

Skills

Kick- Davey / Wonaeamirri

Handball- P. Johnson

Mark- Holland

Tackling- Whelan

Set-Shots- Miller (improved out of sight this year, 18.3 from set shots)

All in all, we'd have a 198cm utility player, capable of playing Key Forward/Back, midfield and pinch-hitting in the ruck. The skills and pace of Davey, Miller's body, Robbo's leap, the work-rate of Jones, endurance of Bruce, Whelan's tackling and pack-marking strength of Ben Holland...

I think this bloke already exists...

Lance Franklin anyone?

Sounds like an 18yr old from W.A... I think he is in the draft but I'm not sure of his name

Someone give me a player who can kick low, hard and accurately into the forward line, kicking to the forwards advantage.

Our kicking into the 50 has always been abysmal... is it really so much to ask for?
