Hello Demonlanders

At great expense to my marriage to a non-AFL Polish woman who is the love of my life I've been watching the archives of Demon games since the late 80's.

We had some great times, some major flops and disappointments but, gee there were some great players.

I'd like to field what I would deem the best team since 1990, the best 'Imported' team since then, the best 'Exported' team, and the best 'Future' team.

Yeates Ingerson Wight

Lovett Neitz Febey

Johnson Lovett Stretch

Lyon Shwartz Yze

Farmer Jackovich Green

Stynes Viney Jones

Inter; Whelan, Davey, White, j Mcdonald.

Imported:

Clark, Pickett, White, Bizzel, Vardy, Holland, Ellis, Bryce, Owen, Turley, Mc Donald, Ward, Vince, Tyson, Ingerson, Lovett,Powell, Clarke, Heffernan, Moloney, Lumumba, Dawes, Pederson, Shanahan., Seecamp

Exported:

Spalding, Jolly, Bassett, Thomson, Hughes, O'Dwyer, Pettard, Miller, Martin, Sylvia, Mclean, Scully, Frawley, Rivers, Fitzpatrick, Toumpas, Bennel, Armsrtong, Walsh, Pyke, Charles,Farmer, Lovell, Simmonds, Moloney, Bruce.

Da future:

Would include Hogan, Gawn, Hunt, T. McDonald, J. Viney, Salem, Petracca,..... ?

All the cascading sibilants suggest this is Polish. Except for Ona, which is short for Onan who invented a sin named after him.

Also, I don't even know the words to Stolat...or any Polish for that matter. That doesn't stop my father-in-law talking to me in Polish.

I would have Bruce in my best team, but you also left him out of the exports. Cam would easily get a run in that team.

Oversight on 'Export' list, very close to best 24, maybe at expense of Yeates?

Maybe Lewis, Hibberd and Melksham could join the imports ahead of Lumumba?

Ex North Melbourne, 48 games. Demon '91-'92-26 games, Sydney '93, 17 games, a 91 game player.

Played full back for the Demons, kicked 26 for North, 14 for Sydney. Handy player. Seemed to have his head screwed the right way, didn't get involved in bulldust stage fighting.

Stynes could ruck all day. So i'll have Tingay for White.

I thought Peter Rhode was great for us after crossing from Carlton. Should be on the imported list.

Oversight. He was fantastic. In fact he nearly made the A team...

Whoops, I spelt his name incorrectly. Should be Peter Rohde.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
