just imagine, a team over past 10years to present, and maybe scully.!! HYPOTHETICAL of course, this is a 3 minute job, but anyone able to take time to make a DREAM TEAM? And how would it go playing today at their peak? A post with a difference..

FB- WHELAN ? ? ? ? BIZZEL

HB- YZE RIVERS GRIMES

C- SYLVIA VINEY DAVEY

HF- JURRAH SCHWARZ ROBERTSON

FF- FARMER NEITZ WATTS

R- WHITE MCLEAN SCULLY

Int- who ever else you like..

 

Champion team

Team of champions...which need champions to be considered as such anyway

 

nah jamie shannahan

sean white full back?

Sean white For sure, & Allen Jackovich up forward somewhere, The Guy was a freak who if he hadn't done his back would have helped us win the Flag in '94. Such a shame he wasn't there.


Wow. Hows the hype on Jurrah?

That is riduculous. I want to take nothing away from Jurrah; what he has achieved so far is phenomonal, but to name him in a MFC Team of the Decade based on 1 match..? Ludicrous.

and I'm not sure if Lyon was still playing in '99.

 

Have we really been that bad over the last 10 years that we have to include players that have played 1 and 2 games and another that isnt even on our list?

I'm more impressed with Scully being in our team of the decade without even being drafted


Chris Lamb as full-back. And the lack of Brent Grgic is insulting to anyone who enters this thread.

:P

WOW. How did I miss that?!?

Don't know what Demon Chef is cooking, but its on the nose...

I think something we're missing is.. Febeys!

2 in the 90s, twins.

Both elgible for father son system.

Each has one set of twin boys (it is genetic, after all) and they all grow up playing footy together.

Those 4 all (of course) go on to play at least the hundred games for the Demons.

I estimate that by 2050 we'll have at least 30 Febeys on our list, and by then be averaging 2 additional Febey father-son picks per year.

Congratulations on one of the funniest posts ever. I rarely LOL at a post, this one made me do so.


sean white full back?

a must inclusion... sean White

Craig smoker for motlop

Troy cook for read

Paul Primky? for ferguson


Ingo might deserve a gig in the 'dream team'. Wight (not White) retired more than 10 years ago.

Surely Tingay gets a run.

Way too early with Grimes and Jurrah (let alone Scully :P).

Isaac Weetra

I still maintain that Bailey mixed up Weetra with Wona! :P

Honestly, I was at the Geelong pre-season game and couldn't see how he was picked that season.

Paul Primky? for ferguson

What? From memory Prymke was ruined by a back injury - like many of his era - and was no way in line for a 'worst 18' gig.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
