I am sick of all this negative talk about MFC at the moment (listen to SEN). So I started thinking about how much our team has changed over the last couple of years. What if our best team from 2007 played our best team from 2009 - based on form from - not potential. 1. Who would be in the teams? 2.How would they line up? 3. What tactics would the coach employ? 4. Which team would win? 5. Which team would win if the same teams played eachother in another 2 years?

    The 2007 team would win hands down on both occasions. :o

    Brock, Davey, Miller, Jamar, McDonald and other players of both eras would play on themselves and therefore cancel out their effectiveness. That leaves the likes of Neitz, White, Yze and Picket to name a few who would have to be stopped by the current day players. Should I continue?

    Nuf said.

    Go Dees - Tanking? Yeah baby. :o

    Whilst the list was nearing the end of it's "reign" - an injury free best side in good form would murder the best side in good form from this year IMO.

    I can recall in 2007 when we actually had our best side on the park, we beat Adelaide and Collingwood in consecutive weeks.

    The 2007 model would destory the 2009 model.

    The 2007 Model:

    B Bell Carroll Brown

    HB Ward Bizzell Wheatley

    C Johnstone Bruce Green

    HF Bate Miller Pickett

    F Robbo Neitz Davey

    Foll White McLean Jones

    Int Jamar Petterd Godfrey Sylvia

    The coaching matchup would also easily favour the 2007 model.

    I wouldn't worry about it- no one ever mentions that Carlton were a basket case 3 years ago.

    When we're pushing for the finals, the media will start drooling like they have with Carlton.

    For mine, 2007 wins easily. Neitz to kick 7.

    Who cares the 2007 team and the players that formed that team and the team that competed from 98-2007 weren't good enough to win a flag. Hopefully what we are seeing is the building of a team that in a few years that can win a flag.

    At the start of the 2007 season, an article on real footy actually had us as the best chance to bring the premiership cup back to Melbourne. Injuries and a departing Daniher ultimately ruined the season. It was always going to be the last year we were going to have a chance.

    It would be the the u/16's playing the u/12's.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
