If you could clone one former Demon player...

[Little Richard 6,213]

The old flash Davey

[monoccular 17,314]

Norm Smith - I never saw him play but I was lucky enough to see him coach.

In later days, Barassi, Schwarz, Jakovich.

[Pates 9,625]

Always loved watching Todd Viney play, a double of him would be pretty handy.

[frankie_d 1,467]

not to be compared to RDB, or Ox, or the sainted R Flower, but one of the quiet men - Peter Walsh - never saw him make a judgement error, great poise of half back - quiet and did the job - love to have about 10 of him.

of course, we traded him to Port for one M. Newton !

[Go the Biff 3,360]

of course, we traded him to Port for one M. Newton !

I think that was an assisted passage - he wanted to go to Adelaide as he was marrying an SA lass. We helped.

To the OP I reckon it would be cool to clone our dual Brownlow Medallist Ivor Warne-Smith. Let's face it, none of us saw him play.

For the current team, Steven Tingay

Just to see the best again, Robert Flower

[Rob Mac...... 635]

We need Norm Smith to rise from the dead and lead the whole place from now on

_{My first instinct when I read this question was Stinga, followed by Ox. Those two would be perfect in any era.}

[Gorgoroth 12,701]

The Ox pre injuries.

But like others would take R. Flower in a heartbeat. Tingay another. Jackovich for the spectacular (but I doubt he would chase any one )

[Red N Blue Society 165]

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!!!

I did nearly put Jako...but he wasnt around long enough.

Barassi also.

Chose Schwater for his sheer talent and awesomeness!

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.

OHHH...I like that!! Balls Vs Im a wannabe tough guy Robinson...Balls would relish the oportunity!

Robinson is more mad than talented...Balls actually could play when he wanted too...took a couple of hangers too I'm sure!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,644]

I was lucky enough to see Robert Flower who is clearly the best Melbourne player I have seen. But I wouldn't clone him because I'd like the chance to see Ron Barassi at his prime. I saw RDB play in the 64 GF - but I was too young to remember.

And I wouldn't mind seeing Jack Mueller and Bluey Truscott. They must have been considered legendary for a reason.

[DeeVoted 583]

Tough call cloning one only. kinda like being invited to a confectionery factory,only to be told you can choose one item.

My 1st choice = Norm Smith. as a player then coach. Would kick goals, team player and bled red & blue,could turn a bunch of average players into a team playing above its weight,and come out on top.

Wouldnt take any crap, and was inspiring. (hated the filth with a passion, love the boy)

Next choice Ivor Warne-Smith

followed by a skinny kid named

R.Flower. (loyal ,inspiring and just awesome on his day) That was most days.

[Waltham33 475]

_{My first instinct when I read this question was Stinga, followed by Ox. Those two would be perfect in any era.}

Why not Glenn Molloy?

Seriously Ox pre injruies and then Stinga pre-injuries

[GIRO 63]

Tingay was a unit remember seeing him kick a goal from 50 on his left awesome talent before his injuries

[Flemo56 396]

I go back a fair way,supporting, but I really would have loved to have seen shwarta and neita play fit all there careers at chf and chb, reckon those two alone could have bought home the cup, Ox was truly Ablett snr and carey's equal, if only, and neita was simply brilliant when in defence, and still reckon he should have stayed down back all his career and led from there, BUT with nutt'n up forward..................clone em pls

[Bobby McKenzie 2,321]

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.

RONALD DALE BARASSI To have seen him play was an experience never to be forgotten. Others would be Don Williams, Robert Flower and The Whiz. Could have mentioned me but I'm too modest.

[H_T 3,032]

For pure excitement... Allen Jakovich

And entertainment....Robert Flower. Class.

[Red N Blue Society 165]

Seems nobody is forgetting alot of awesome players so far which is expected!

Jakovich was an absolute gem wasnt he!

The guy was a freak! That scissor kick goal against North was amazing to this day!

[DEMON FROM WITHIN 46]

Robert Flower is the most skilful player to ever put on a Melbourne Jumper

Sean Wight was completely fearless

Ricky Jackson had blistering speed

When flower got the ball in the backline the crowd would go nuts as he would start off on a magical weaving run towards goal leaving intended tacklers in his wake

[Swampfox 190]

I think this 4 game demon player might be just what we need at the moment

Brian Cook

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

David Schwarz. Love the idea of seeing him get a second chance. Could have been anything.

[Alcho Dee 269]

Shaun smith, remember that hanger at the gabba, when someone in the crowd to a photo when he was at the highest point. That was one of those moments hard to forget.

I would love to clone a Sean Charles also.

Schwarz (with good knees)

Tingay (with good hammys)
