Heres a bit of fun amidst all the doom and gloom of this year so far.

1. Favourite Current Melbourne Player and why?

2. Favourite Past player and why?

For me:

1. Jack Trengove- Just oozes class and silky skills. Gotta love an up and coming young gun.

2. Adem Yze- Was a little bit different but everything about him just had class written all over it. The long sleeves, the white boots the freak goals. I sorely miss going to watch him play.

Would have to say currently Mark Jamar - love to watch his contested marking, he tries his heart out and never gives up. IMO our most important player too.

In the past would have to be Jeff Farmer. Was so exciting to watch on his good days, really lit up the field.

Should do a couple of polls on this.

Mine are Ricky Petterd and Adem Yze. A former gun and a future gun :)

Favourite current player. Rohan Bail. He gets his own footy, can tag an opponent, is as hard as nails even though not huge in build and is amazing to watch at full pace. This kid could become anything.

Favourite past player. Robbie Flower. Class, skill, pace, leadership, footy brain, courage that robbed him of about 3-4 seasons of footy due to injury, and he could baulk and evade anyone. Even though the tackling skills these days are much more developed, I still reckon he could evade most of today's body players. I shudder what he wouild have been in quality team. One of my greatest footy memories is in the 1987 Semi-final against the Swans when he got his first touch after coming on from the bench and the whole crowd rose out of their seats and screamed "Robbiiiieeee".

For me:

1)The Gys- he will be a real gun in the Pendlebury mould

2)Allen Jackovich - just had to love him absolutely electric

For me: Liam Jurrah cause he could just do anything in the blink of an eye.

Steven Tingay at his best was awesome, and a total powerhouse for the dees.

Oh, and Rohan Bail's shooting up my current favourite player leaderboard. In my top 5.

It is like trying to pick your favorite child.

Present: Jordie McKenzie. Just love the blokes that play tuff. Sylvia could be my favorite if he was more consistant.

Past: Todd Viney. (I named my son after him) enough said.

Past: Big Neita, what an absolute legend. That bump on Luke McCabe. I still go to jelly every time i try to talk to the big fella.

Present: Chippa Frawley, with a neck that size he could swallow a basketball and not choke; yet still chase down Lewis Jetta over 100m.

Nev Jetta - he is not the most gifted, fastest, tallest etc etc but he gives 110% each time, loved his game for Casey at the weekend, wear his number on my jumper, unfairly picked on on this board, pay to remember he is only just 21, being groomed long term for the midfield

1. Favourite Current Melbourne Player and why?

2. Favourite Past player and why?

1. Davey/ Jurrah - Davey: love the wormburning 20m chest-seekers; the back-arching out of the backline with 5 bounces; the side-steps - BOTH - love the silky skills.

JurrahCane:love the packriding (esp over own teammates, Smitty did the same to Lyon!), self-belief in goal-scoring and the sense of everything-will-happen whenever the ball comes over the 50m line

2. Allen Jakovich - sitting in my office right now with a blockmounted autographed picture of the man! Was the first enigmatic full forward and last of dying breed of FUF's who are not just goal-hungry, but knew it was their role to bag multiples if the team was to win (or even wanted to be remembered in the golden era of FUFs!) Part of the most exciting forward line in history! (Farmer, Lyon, Neitz, Schwarz, Stretch, Lovetts etc). Scissor-kicks, 10-goal hauls, brother-pecks, pack-marks - the man knew how to bring crowds to the game, and reeked of just enough arrogance with the ability to back it up.

AJ4LIFE!

Stephen Tingay - The old woolen Pioneer Homes sponsored jumper with the # 2 still gets a run now and then. Loved Stinger, was awesome on both sides of the body and had some ripping duels with Peter Matera, something many other more noted players struggled with. Not afraid of any contest. Allen Jakovich is damn close but Stinger is # 1.

Frawley - love a big f off CHB and Chip is that even though he has yet to display that this year.

Good to see there's two of us! I'm another huge Jets fan, and for the same reason you gave. I also thought his game on the weekend didn't receive enough acknowledgment on here. He's number 2 for me though

Current - Jack Grimes

Past - Ooze for me as well

Hard to pick only two, but for me:

- Liam Jurrah, might be cliched, but I feel my heartrate rise every time he comes near the ball. Even if he's having a slow day :)

-Adem Yze, because he just yzed class. As with Jurrah, so exciting to watch.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
