Players who grew up supporting the Dees

The sentimentalist in me would like to see one game a year where current AFL listed players play for the team they grew up supporting. Given three elite players in Judd, Franklin and Pendlebury all apparently barracked for the Dees we'd have have the start of a very strong team, however i'm not aware of many more to select from. I've started a team below - can anyone help me complete it?

??? Dylan Grimes ???

Jack Grimes ??? Simon Buckley

??? Moloney Andrew Gaff

??? ??? ???

??? Franklin ???

Pendlebury

    Apparently, the entire family are big fans and actually, based on the way he's played in the Suns' two games to date, I would like to see the Demons make a big effort to do the right thing by the folks and the lad and organise a reunion.

    Without doubt.

    Would be a massive get for us. Better than Caddy or Gaff in my eyes.

    Thanks for the responses to date. Appaently Lachlan Hansen and Nathan Buckly both supported the Dees also.

    Based on some quick research a couple of players suggested above appear to have supported other clubs. (Scarlett - Essendon, Deledio - Carlton, S.Johnson - Collingwood, Roughead - Bulldogs, Brown - Fitzroy, Goodes - Pies, Butcher - Saints)

    I have update our team with the other suggestions that I could confirm. (Could not find anything on Lake, Betts or Griffen.)

    We are still a players few short of a full team.

    ??? Dylan Grimes ???

    Jack Grimes Lachlan Hansen Simon Buckley

    Cheynee Stiller Moloney Andrew Gaff

    ??? ??? Prestia

    ??? Franklin ???

    With Jack Viney entering the fray next year Prestia wouldn't get a game.We won't be able to fit in all of our midfielders now that are currently on the list,IMO..

    Chris Connolly did mention him last week... in regards to a possible poach when his contract is expiring..

    Why is Steve Vizard on the Hawthorn list?

    Wasn't he on the MFC board about a decade ago?

    Gippy

    Vizard was a committee member of the MCC until he was forced to resign! (Insider trading: wasn't it?)

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
