If you could have one past player?

Featured Replies

Not for me it isn't, not sure why.

Often hard to see as it doesn't stand out as much as "MultiQuote" and "Quote", but it should be immediately to the left of multiquote.

Yeah it's not there for me... Maybe due to being on a mac? Not sure.

 

Ok guys,

Have removed a number of posts, we ask you to get back on topic now, as billy2803 said the "report" should be next to the "multiquote" function. I'll bring it up with Andy (Demonland) if you're having trouble finding it.

I knew there was something sinister about you stuie


Hard to say one player although if it's not limited to MFC players Carey at the drop of a hat

Loved Schwarter, Neiter & Lyon as Forwards but given we now have somE decent big forward I would pick a 1998-2000 Jeff Farmer as the Crumbing forward we need

Big Jimmy would be a great asset in the current game playing a role for us similar to Cox's role with Meth Coast

Through the middle Stinger or Scotty Thompson in his current form

With our current forwards if Neiter came back may play him as a permanent CHB

back on topic I'd pick one of the following;

  • The Wiz - Elite small forward
  • Cam Bruce in '06 form prior to leg injury (goal kicking mid / HFF)
  • Yze in his prime (Elite foot skills through the midfield)

I was convinced Bruce was going to win a Brownlow...it's too bad that he left the Dees to prolong his career by 10 or so games.

I'd go with Woewodin. His 2000 season was the best season I have seen by a Demon in my lifetime. Also his name is fun to say.

Woewodin was a good ordinary player.

He had one A grade year. A good B+ performer.

Isn't it telling that with all the choices we've got, we've got to put an asterisk on them? Ox pre-knee, TJ with a desire boost and so on. From the 90s and 00s there's barely a player anyone would take unconditionally. It's just so symbolic of the NQR nature of all the players that have passed through this club in the last two decades.

All the players? I think a lot of the players mentioned in the thread have been fine contributors and as you've said Ox was struck down with knee injuries - hardly a NQR trait unless you're bringing a players physical characteristics into the equation.

FCS, if we were going to have a thread full of past champions from the last 20 years to talk about I reckon we'd be still gloating about all the flags we've brought home in that time.

Flower

Tingay

Ox

Lyon

Jakovich

My point being that if this thread was going to be full of names of champions, I would have expected several flags over that period. Nasher, IMO, applied a broad brush to all of the players as being NQR.

I hope that explains it better but will apologise now if it doesn't.

Ok got you now, a bit slow tonight.

There are a lot of 'If' players though. If his knees were ok, if he consistently played at that level, if he had his head screwed on....I guess it points to why we have struggled for success.

If there's been a club with less individually talented players over the past 23 years let me know who they are.

That's easy if judged by finals appearances . I'm guessing it's about Tiges 2/Dees 20 .

Ooh BH won't like having his own shonky logic turned against him!

Brian Wilson to beef up our midfield, though i am not sure if he was still playing in early 90's.

Otherwise I would have to say Garry Lyon as we definately need someone who had plenty of heart as he did.

Jackovich and OX were probably best but we need determined players right now!!!

Yes, but his 2000 was spectacular, especially the first half (he had 15 Brownlow votes by Round 8). If I'm picking one player from my time supporting the Dees (1997-present), it would be Shane Woewodin circa May 2000.

No, that's a team effort, which is why I said "individually". On a whole we've had far better teams than Richmond, but not individual standouts.

The football world consider Matthew Richardson as a better player than Neitz and I dare say any player we've had in that time, while Cotchin is well on his way to being better than any mid we've had.

I agree that if we've had company it has come in the form of the Tigers.

Todd Viney.......Oh wait we've just landed his mini- me :-)

In that case the almighty Theo X (pre knee!). Actually can we just get all our fav's from the 90's and then magically lose their bloody injuries (Jako's back, Gaz's leg/back, Stinga's bloody scar tissue from the plate glass window incident..... It's all Jack Watts fault!)

  • 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.
