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!)

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
