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.

    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?

    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?

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
