    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.

    trent cotchin is all class and one of the better non mfc players for me to watch

    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 ?

    Dangerfield and Jonathon Brown for me.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
