    Throws up all kinds of combinations, this one.

    So for the entertainment value I have picked a side with characters, flair and ability.

    It's not conventional but would be a lot of fun to watch :

     

    B    A Johnson      Biffin           Whelan

    HB  Don Williams  Neitz           Hardeman

    C    Flower            Wells          Alves

    HB  Robbo            Schwarter   Hassa Mann

    F    Davey             Jakovich     Lyon

    R   O'Dwyer           Barassi      Todd Viney

     

    Inter      Jurrah  Yeats  Gerard Healy  The Wiz  and allowing myself 3 more - Jimmy Grinter Stinger

    Seen them all play. Loved them all. It's not a balanced side but it isn't really meant to be

    Prymke would be center-half-back in my 'what could have been' team.  

    Had so much potential before injury robbed him of a great career.

    If I had my way I'd have the sport played like it was pre flooding and the press.  Forwards playing forward and backmen playing back.  Real wingmen and without the eye-sore of regularly having an abundance of midfielders all scrambling for the ball.  But hey, that can't happen unless the rotations are scaled right back.  It's not ice-hockey. 

    My forward line is a trifle top-heavy but 'elusive-qualities' abound.  Apart from Neitz, the other 5 were all good on the ground.  Schwartz before he did those knees could get about.

    Nobody has mentioned Greg Healy. 

    By no means a superstar, but he played under Northey as our Capt. and never shirked an issue. 

    A mark and goal he took against Whorethorn in the '90 Elimination Final was actually scary. But he held the mark and kicked straight.

    Remember it well

    Probably my favourite day at the Footy since the 1964 Grand Final

    Greg Healys mark and goal is still firmly in my memory  big Strawb played a beauty too that day

     

    I'd just played in a NSW Superrules side that had defeated Queensland for the first time that morning on the Junction Oval

    Life doesn't get much better :-)

    Certainly agree about being a good Captain 

    right up there with Alves  and Neitz as giving everything for the club every week 

    think all our captains have been good even the low key ones like Hassa and Frank Davis

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
