The Best Player you have seen - AFL & Demons

[Deano74 156]

Just watching the Gold Coast tonight you have to marvel at Ablett.

Stars make AFL great.

Ive had some favourties over the years, players who are just legends of the game.

Ablett Snr, Lockett, Robert Harvey, Buckley, Mcleod, Aker, Goodes. But for right now, Gary Ablett Jnr is the best for mine of this era.

His dad did freak things and i saw it first hand, but i reckon his son is better.

Who is your best ? and also Best demon of past 20 yrs ?

I spose mine would be Neitz.

Ablett Jnr is as good as the next two players in the comp combined.

Neitz would be up there for MFC.

Melbourne - Lucas Cook

AFL - Aaron Fiora

In his WCE days, Judd was a freak - despite the fact that he won the inaugural 'Demonland Punchable Head Award.'

Liam Jurrah lit up my life for a couple of years.

Jeff Farmer was amazing.

Tingay was the hardest going around.

Garry Lyon.

But Ablett Jnr is the most amazing footballer of the modern era.

Yew!

I don't want to sabotage the thread but Anthony Banic was a shocker...

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Surely we need a verse from the book of Revelations??

Cale Morton best.ever. Just watch this video and you'll agree.https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCwQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DViwtwII83oE&ei=siWzUZaSCsWiiAeK0YHQDA&usg=AFQjCNFK1dbjDRfXJyvkp_F8nM_b_-0TjQ

In this era Ablett has to have it by a mile. The only thing he doesn't have is a good overhead mark, but he is so far ahead in everything else he does it more than makes up for it. Next for mine would be Goodes. I love the way he plays and the fact that he can go anywhere on the ground and be a match-winner.

Best I have ever seen is much harder I think. The great full-forwards of the 80's and 90's were amazing, and stick in y memory. Jakovitch as well, but of course he did everything he could to fail and ultimately succeeded. Jeff Farmer for pure freak-factor. Loved Tingay. I honestly couldn't say who is the best of the lot.

Best for Melbourne would have to be the Ox in full flight. He was simply awe-inspiring. It still hurts to think what he could have been if his knees hadn't gone.

[Deano74 156]

This post shows we crying out for a star.

Jones is good but he aint a freak.

Viney and Hogan look the most likely of current list.

I'm not attempting to defend Morton's AFL career, but I truly am sick of people using that footage as some sort of attack on him.

If you had seen that game, you'd know that he wasn't running away from Lade, he was moving to create the next play; the ball was behind Lade and Morton saw the play coming towards him so he ran off to make space and present.

[Gorgoroth 13,190]

Flower, the Ox, Carey, Ablett sir and jnr, Brereton, ricuito (sp), Buddy, Hird, Voss, Black, Brown, jackovitch brothers, Harvey, Barker, Archer, West,

Oh this list could go a while

Scott West was a great footballer, Shows u dont have to be quick.

If Nathan Jones keeps going over the rest of his career, we will all hold him highly.

It wasn't an attack it was a bit of a laugh, it's quite obvious he is running to create a play. I found this photo of you...

[angrydee 842]

Ablett Snr and son, Baldock, Skilton and Whitten Snr. Also Dermie, Carey and Hart. Simon Madden and Polly Farmer.

Barassi, Mithen, Flower, Roet, pre knee Schwartz, Jako, Wiz.

Adit: capital letter fot the Wiz

[angrydee 842]

Sean Wight and Tassie Johnson

Gaz Jnr is like nothing we have ever seen. He is complete. Consistently the most outstanding player on the ground and a wonderful bag of tricks as well.

Liam Jurrah is up there, maybe beyond, Gaz Snr as the most freakishly talented player I have ever seen. Goal over his head from 30 meters out was unforgettable, graceful screamers, lying on his back surrounded by players kicks a goal... hopefully we get to see more of him.

David Schwarz was on his way to being Carey-like. Who knows how far he could have gone, but all the signs were there.

[Little Goffy 14,819]

Missed out on Carey, tragically grew up too far north to be properly introduced to football. So I think it has to be Ablett Jr in a no-brainer for me.

Y'know, for the best 'surge' of form of any MFC player, I might have to say Robbo, late in 2005. Averaged six goals a game, was simply stellar and basically dragged us over the line into finals.

But the question kind of sums up where Melbourne fell short.

You think of guys like Yze, Green, Woewodin, Leoncelli, Bruce, Robbo, White, Moloney, Davey, Farmer, Johnstone, even Junior, none of them ever managed to sustain the top level for an truly extended period. Step up for the occasional All-Australian consideration for example, but not in contention on any regular basis.

So that would make Neitz the best I've seen of us in my short time.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,329]

Best player I've seen = Carey. Best Demons player = Flower.

Ronald Dale Barassi - he wasn't just an ordinary match winner.

He was a match winner on premiership days.
