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

Junior Mac - as above

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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
