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?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
