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.

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!

 

Sorry just saw the time restraints. Alan Jakovich.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
