If you could have one past player?

Ok so I just watched our 2003 game v the Hawks on foxtel where we won by 1 goal.

Actually found it sad, so many players Yze Neitz, Jeff White Robertson Leoncelli, could go on for ever.

But what I want to know is, if you could have just one player fit and firing from the 90s or 2000s that could play with the side we have now, who would it be?

Remembering we have the exact side now, you just add a player in his prime who would it be?

I will kick start it and I will go with Shane Woewodin in the midfield, In my opinion that A grader we are missing,

Go ahead

    Robbie Flower, I would love my kids to see him gliding his way through traffic on the wing and delivering the ball to big Mitch

    Easy one here.....a fit David Schwartz.

    +1 The Ox was on his way to being one of the greats before his knee injuries.

    David Neitz (but I'd play him at CHB)

    The Ox in his prime could tear a game apart.

    Watching that game I was amazed how slow it looked.

    I am actually starting to see why the AFL want to slow it down a bit and reduce rotations.

    From that game, I would take Whelan again.

    Allan Jakovich

    The fastest player to 50 goals in league history, in 9 games, and equalled John Coleman's 21 games to 100 goals.

    S-T-I-N-G-A...dashing tough skillful winger who can kick a long goal would be a huge boost to our midfield.

    A fit and firing OX is hard to go past no matter the need because he was just that good.

    We really miss a good back pocket who can shut down a dangerous small forward and has some skills when he has the ball in his hands...so would love to have Whelan back there...but also Yze when he was rebounding from the back flank would fill a need.

    Glenn Lovett. Considering our perceived weakness in the centre, A fit Lovett was as reliable and effective as a Lenny Hayes or Jimmy Bartel.

    O K, Diesel Williams.

    So as a much needed type to slot in now, it would be in the midfield, & a ball extractor. so Williams IMO was the best in & under ball extractor.

    Many come to mind, & I'm an unabashed David Schwartz supporter.

    +1 The Ox was on his way to being one of the greats before his knee injuries.

    The Ox was still a great after his comeback. just couldn't dance like a ballet star.

    Side by side with Clarke, the Ox would be fantastic.

    David Nietz great captain, exceptional player

    If you mean MFC player than the Ox pre knee...... Otherwise Wayne Carey

    Impossible for me to go past David Schwarz (circa 1994). We would have been talking about an AFL 'Hall of Famer' if he hadn't done his knee.

    Edit: Changed 'Legend' to 'Hall of Famer'. Was gettin' a bit carried away in the moment.

    From 1990 onwards - Ox or Tingay (maybe Farmer?)

    From the 80's - Flower or Grinter

    From the 70's Alves or Hardeman

    Boy have we wasted some talent over the years.

    A fit and Focused Allen Jakovich thanks.

    The guy was a dead set freak.

    Could still play today, just let him play in the 50 metre arc.

    I will be the first to say Garry Lyon. Why? Not only could he be played in the forward line, down back or on the ball, he would give us the leadership we so sorely lack.

  • Quote

    Really says alot about our midfield over the past 15 years that we have to go all the way back to Viney, Lovett and Tingay for some quality and even those three had their obvious deficiencies. Our current team needs elite midfielders and I'm like everyone else here - I'd pick a 1994 Ox. Says a bit doesn't it. Toumpas and Viney - the pressure is on!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
