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?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
