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

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
