    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 ?

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

  • Quote

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
