It is hard...you could go and get a lot of ex players to stand in line....

I think I'd go with OX! And just delete his bung knee DNA along the way and wa la.

Instant Theo X time!

Boy I'd be happy!

Well at least he shows the love for the Demons most of the time on SEN!

Unlike alot of the media.

Jakovich or the Ox in their prime.

A young Robbie Flower would also give us that outside run we are desperate for.

Norm Smith.

Cale Morton.

Got no one to yell at without him.

I'd have to go for a (pre-knee) Schwarta. At least for the post 60's era

Doesn't do much for our mid-field but

My old man would say Barassi hands down, but he was before my time...

Damn i used to love watching Allan Jachovich go round though, footy was a lot of fun back then. I remember watching cats and dees one day and I think jacko kicked 10 and ablett kicked 11 or 12 and I knew we were going to win all day!!! Good memories!!!

Stephen Tingay circa 1994-95 , quick, hard at it great kick on either side . Exactly what out current team needs

Stephen Tingay

Barassi. One of the games greatest ever

that or Nathan Carroll

Robbie Flower in a heart beat. Outside pace, courage, sublime skill on both sides (dare I use the forbidden "e" word: elite!?!), leadership... and loved the jumper.

Pre-knee Ox. Although it would mean that Dawes doesn't get a game.

Rod Grinter. Just for one game - versus Carlton. To run through Mitch Robinson and make him even uglier than he is now. Ultimate sportgasm.

I'd like to some cross breeding. Imagine mating Matty Whelan and Alan Johnston. Sublime skills with a mad dog appetite for the player and the contest.

For this team? Jimmy Stynes.

Big Ox, n Neita in their prime.

Given the state of our list, and the players tha thave come in...

The Wiz.

Wouldn't have minded two Nietzs running around in the early 00's - one at each end!

Noel McMahen

I shook hands with him last year and he nearly crushed it

Also I heard he still eats nails for breakfast and that he still pollishes his boots waiting for the MFC to call him

Greg Wells

Hassa Mann (failing that, Stan Alves, Brian Dixon or Gary Hardeman).

Robbie Flower without question.

His game would transform to another level given the current changes in the current game. He would also receive protection now in what has become a heavily scrutinised game. His skills were always sublime and had the ability to play in all roles from Full Back on Mal Blight to Full Forward, HB, HF and Utility rose with Wing being his dominant position.

Barassi must have been an inspiration as well but sadly too young to see him play.

Stan Alves was the best Captain I witnessed as a supporter and was always disappointed he never coached us.

David Neitz as a power forward not far behind.

Forgot to mention Sean Wight.

ATM while our Backs are "developing" there is not a player near him for skill or tenacity. Perfect clone Job.

Greg Wells

Wells and Brian Wilson both played "bigger". Both great hands and a had a sense of where the ball was going.

Todd Viney... oh wait.

I'd have to go for Tom Wills, so he could remind everyone we played that it's "Our" game!

(otherwise R Flower or Theo X)

Matty Whelan

For pure excitement... Allen Jakovich

Schwarta pre-knee. The Wiz buzzing about. The Wrecker spear tackling. Duke Spalding at CHB. Robbie on a wing. Allen Jakovich in a pocket.

Gawd we'd win the flag by 15 goals!
