If you could clone one former Demon player...

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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)

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
