Hart , Matthews , Skilton .

lol, Really?

I mean Really?

The thing that makes an argument like yours nul and void, is that the ancient fossils named in your list (matthews excepted), were never submitted to testing.

Todays players are.

Faster

Fitter

More Skilled (by LIGHT YEARS)

Better Coached

etc, etc, etc

I would prefer Dipper, Worsfold, and Archer, if you want players of a byegone era.

At least we would get a boost in an area that is lacking.

Like the old cricket argument over which team would win, Bradmans, or Waughs.

Steve and the boys would have been on the booze by lunch on day 4

What if the assumption was that those old players had today's coaching, fitness and general professionalism?

I would go

(1) Watson

(2) Pendleton

(3) cotchin

Would go sully instead of Watson but too scared what the reaction would be.

Come to think of it I will go Franklin instead of Watson. Caught up in the emotion of Essendon's comeback against the Swans

Any one who would not have G.Ablett is either not serious or hasn't got a clue

Ablett, L. Jetta and take your pick Ballantyne, Pendlebury, Betts or Conca.

Coniglio (swan districts boy)

Fair call range rover, but we wouldn't get him the ball like the hawks can

Who underrates him?

Not so much underrated but half my family go for the swans and if he was in a melbourne team he would be so much bigger and more noise would be made.

Just like the big Pav from freo

Just a fun exercise, but say you had carte blanch to sign three players from rival clubs on 4 year deals. Anyone at all ... which three would you bring to the Demons? Think list management and flag-tilt.

Mine?

1. Patrick Dangerfield

2. Lance Franklin

3. David Swallow

!. Ablett

2. Judd

3. Franklin

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
