Star

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

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
