In that order from left to right based on 2017 apologies to Nibbler

Rather see Hogan (or Lever) than Lewis. No problem with the others. Think of the future!

Gawn, Hogan, the 2 captains, Petracca & Oliver. That is it, it's far too crowded otherwise.

Or if going with past champs as some want, just Jako & the Wiz so I'm g'teed to smile. 

Daisy should be on a banner of her own for an aflw board, best women player in the land & genuine pioneer. 

(Btw, after we win the flag in 2018 it should be PJ, Mahoney & Goody on the banner in 2019.)

It's not often that I choose to argue the point with people on this forum (too many big egos), however in this case I shall.

i can't remember an aboriginal player being represented on the banner ( if I'm incorrect I apologise, I can't of the top of my head remember every banner)) so I believe their contribution should be recognised. Now in my opinion that recognition should take the form this coming season of one of the teams very best players I.e. Neville Jetta. Even if Jetta was one of the teams journeymen I think it would be appropriate to have him or another player from the aboriginal community represented. It is a symbolic gesture and one that I believe would be appreciated by many people in the aboriginal (and wider) community: It represents inclusiveness.

If your sole criterion is merit, then Neville Jetta gets in. If the banner represented a broader view then he gets in for the above reasons as well. But of course merit was not the only factor driving who did or didn't get chosen for last seasons banner was it!

 

That is an excellent point DeeDee.  I never even thought that Nev was missing.

One of our best leaders in the 22 for years now, and he doesn't get a thought.

 

I feel cheaper now, for not thinking of Nev before this.

Sorry Nev.

watt about. we just start the season with the Captains, of the team, & of the club.

Captains, & Pres & Ceo.

From the start of the season, some player's/admins, could get temporarily elevated, upon top form.

Like player's of the month, etc.

Putting kids on pedestals, has knobs on it.

Let them earn any accolades, as they should the jumper.

he get's it on merit I thought.

2017 did not exactly merit a gold star

Our most wins since 2006,  his first year as coach with a huge injury toll to star players.

You're a hard marker, DJ.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
