This topic seems oh so simple, but who do we like? As a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam, I was perusing DL and realised I hadn't seen such a topic. Basically, who's ya boy? Who's jumper number would you get on your back after a 2018 flag?

i'd go for Brayshaw. Love his passion and love for the Dees, on top of his obvious talent. He's great to listen to on the AFL Exchange podcast too. Loved attending a training sesh at Gosch's a few years ago and seeing him kick a banana from the boundary before falling back (opposite of face plant style) in the deciduous leaves that had gathered around him. Angus is mah boy!

Nev, embodies all that I want at the club. Have fun mate. 

 

Jayden Hunt, notwithstanding he’s out of the team at present and has had a tough year. He’ll be back and will be huge for us in the years to come. Raw pace, great spring, manic attack on ball, huge kick. Just needs the experience and fitness to add to that and he’ll be awesome 

 


Nev for me, tough, reliable  and highly skilled

 

James Harmes has bolted to pole position for mine. A fanatical Demon supporter growing up, drafted from the rookie list and now having a break out year when we’ve made finals. 

I wish I was James Harmes because this kid is living the dream.

100% Oliver. People think I'm nuts the way I talk about him. I will rewind it when he does something incredible in tight and make everyone watch.

And my wife picked Nev out even before he was delisted and rookied, so she loves reminding me of it everytime he does something well.

My son loves Jonesy, and my daughter loves "Pig".

I have a bit of a connection with James Harmes. Played against his Dad many years ago, and James grew up playing with my nephews. They are all still good mates. I have been rapt to see his improvement from a fringe player to a key part of the Demons set up.

Maxy.

And drunk posting never ends well usually.


This is tough. So hard to elevate one player ahead of what is an awesome group. I wear Petracca's no. right now and Clarry would be very close. I think I gotta go with Harmes. He's quickly becoming a heart and soul guy of the club.

Jetta. Met him the year he got drafted and my wife and I had a chat with him, great fella. 

The way he plays is exactly what is expected and that mark he took on Rioli against the eagles was a defining moment.

love that jetta (in particular) is getting so much love.. so cool that anyone could say any current player now and it could be accepted and acknowledged as legitimate. bit different to a few years ago!

Love em all


Tmac for me - embodies the notion that hard work pays off. He sets a great example on and off the field for the group.

Apologies to Harmes, Clarry, Gawn and Nev 

 

This thread demonstrates why we’re on our way to a flag. Love it.

Despite my username, I’ve just gotta go with Maxy on this one. He’s a collossus and loves the club. When he was asked on a footy show of his thoughts when he sees kids wearing our jumper with his number on it, he said “it’s great that they remember Jimmy”

He is all class and talent. Deserved AA ruckman.

For a very welcome change, this is an enormously difficult call.

For me though I find Clarrie absolutely magical: THE quickest thinker and THE best vision I can recall at any time from any player from any team.

Takes the breath away some of the ridiculous stuff he pulls off. 

But it is unfair to the likes of Max, Nev, Angus, and Jonesy for his perseverance .... and many more.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
