When and who was the last elite Star the MFC had. A bloke that dominated the game and on his day no body could stop him.

So if we get one star, say somebody like G Ablett or Chris Judd, we will win every game and the premiership, just like Carlton or Gold Coast have, you need twenty two players who can play.....if the whole team improves you will find one or two of our highly derided players will raise their game to another level....Nathan Jones managed that this season....imagine how good he could become if he has another 21 hard seasoned bodies around him


We've had highlight reel players recently but no genuine stars.

Neitz when on the top of his game could be unstoppable, but was an exception rather than the rule.

And I am not sure if the OP was implying it would automatically lead to premierships, but perhaps bemoaning our inability or just downright bad luck in findinging a star/superstar.

or you could just answer the question....?

David Schwartz, on his day nobody could stop him.

Jakovitch. Flower.


We have one on our list, if he could just get his sh!t together. L Jurrah.

Remember the thread that was started a couple of years back asking if LJ was a star or not? Someone might care to dust off the cobwebs so we can go back and have a look waht was written. (apologies for being slightly off topic).

as a consistent star ... go back to 1975-85. Robert Flower.

Others have threatened , Gerard Healy (before Swans), Lyon, Synes, Schwartz and Neitz. But none where consistently in the league top 10-20 players.

Our kids have no ICON to follow , like the Judd, Ablett, Franklin, Hird, Buckley, Koutoufides, Carey, Lockett, Voss, Kelly, Ruccuito types etc etc.

WE NEED A STAR


Suprised no-one mentioned our last brownlow, Woey


Cameron Hunter

Tie between Isaac Weetra, Luke Molan, Steven Armstrong and Brent Grgic

Robbie Flower.

Since then we've just had "good" players.

 

Nick Smith.

Who else could have 3 years without a game then play in a final?

What is the point answering the question, what they are going to come out of retirement and play next season, this self flaggelation gets tiresome, no wonder other clubs find MFC amusing, it has supporters who can never let go of the past

    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.
