    Dangerfields game last week was absolutely amazing, loved every minute of it.

    Can't go pass Gaz though, just seems impossible to tackle and has unbelievable skills.

    The player who gives me the most adrenaline however is our own Joel MacDonald. Everytime he gets the ball I'm on the edge of my seat wondering what the hell he is going to do this time (rarely in a good way)

    Haha I was wondering if you watched the same Joel MacDonald that I do, then I read the end of you post!

    Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

    P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

    Wow...would have loved to have him on the Dees. He's a type of player we could really use.

    I chose Rioli because when he is on song his skills are mercurial to say the least. Others I would add are Eddie Betts who is the consummate entertainer and Robert Murphy who makes everything look so effortless.

    Bartel when the game needs to be won.

    Franklin for freakishness.

    If I were to add Eddie Betts I'd have to add his shorts as well. They are part of the reason he's so good to watch. When he's coming down from a hanger it looks like he's deployed a parachute from just below his waistline.

    Stevie J . Not the best , but the best to watch IMO . Amazing the amount of times a goal seems to happen when he gets it .

    He's a free agent too !

    2 , 3 or 4 years of Johnno would be worth a truckload more than 1 or 2 years of many on our list right now .

    Joel Selwood.

    OMG do I love Joel Selwood.

    Also Jonathan Brown in his glory days. Amazing.

    Franklin, Dustin Martin, but im just too one eyed.

    Hard to pick from such a variety, but our current circumstance inspired me to pick J.Brown.

    Big, tough, skilled, and a firm leader who is not easily unsettled and inspires his teammates with his actions.

    If we're talking all-time however I may have picked a (kind of) MFC player, Byron Pickett, although in his prime at the Roos not the last couple of years with us.

    I agree, Macca. Would love to see Johnson in red and blue. I think we're more likely to win the premiership this year than to see that happen, though.

    Well , we could make him an offer . Ya don't ask , ya don't get . I reckon a few clubs will come calling on Stevie J . He's a matchwinner . Have we got anyone like Marlon down at the club ?

    Abletts easily the best but Deledio is easily my favourite player to watch

    Judd, Ablett, Lenny Hayes are all guns, but Bartel by a mile for mine. He is so deceiving: he looks slow, small, has a friendly face, and most of his kicks barely reavel 40m. But whenever the game needs to be won there he is outmarking bigger blokes, crunching packs, tacling, kicking goals from outside 50 etc... Absolute match winner and rarely plays poorly.

    i love to watch *hangs head*.....

    steven milne.

    absolute machine.

    next is;

    chappy. gun

    after that is judd busting away from packs

    ablett just seems to get his own ball and has gotten better since the g17 has taken control. he seems to have to get 5x as many hard ball gets.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
