Simple thread, who is your favourite Melbourne player and why?

Even though he's barely played, mine has to be Watts, watched him over under 18s and he's going to be one hell of a player.

Colin Sylvia, just hope last season was not a flash in the pan.

Yep, Col is my favourite player (although Jurrah isn't far behind). From the past, it would have to be the Wiz.

If we are talking about the past, it has to be Jakovich. He is the reason I support Melbourne. He came along just when I was at an impressionable age and stole me away from my Hawthorn supporting parents.

Footy is a funny game. if you asked this question last year i don't think to many people would have sylvia as there favourite player but one year on he is everyones man.

Sylvia for mine as well. I have liked him for awhile now and just rapt he has turned his form around.

Yeah, Farmer is the reason I support Melbourne. Kicked 7 goals in the first game I ever went to, I barely understood the game but he was my instant hero!

All-time: Jakovich hands down. The 1991 season was where I was young and wavering on whether or not I was going to get into footy. He came to our school for a footy clinic and was an absolute bastard, but about three weeks later he burst back into the side and I was in love. There is a very good reason why I got bored of footy in 1995 after he'd been given the arse.

Now: The Stefan Martin Experience. I liked him as a defender but ever since I got his number on my jumper he hasn't been near the backline once.

The complete history of numbers I've had on my jumper

#54 - Brent Heaver

#31 - Rod Keogh

#13 - Jakovich (poor Rod just had his numbers reversed)

#1 - Shanahan

#28 - Philthy Phil

#34 - The SME

Hey, I like novelty players. What can I do?

Brent Heaver kicked 5 in his first game & then did nothing except go to carlton!! (His first game was against those Pricks too) :lol:

I got given a jumper for my birthday the day after he kicked five. When asked what number I wanted on it there were no voices of reason to point out what a stupid idea it was.

Next year he was out and Rod was in. Again, no voices of reason were present.

As for Shanahan I stand by my decision. I've got a defender fetish - somebody has to.

Ha all of them. But I get extra excited whenever Sylvia or LJ goes near the ball.

Posted

Some interesting ones here. Maric? Bell? nice ones.

All time is David Neitz. Champion.

Current is LJ by a mile and Grimes in second

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
