Neville because of his life and football 'stories'.  He lives by his 'values' both on and off the football field.  A truly inspirational footballer and person.

    Clarence Oliver is the best player to run around since Robbie Flower.

    He along with several others will lead the way and break our premiership drought within the next 2 years

    And to think that he was delisted, and but for Roos’ faith in Nev’s potential we could have lost him forever. ?

    As an aside does anyone have any updates on his mentoring of Dion Johnston?  He looked likely to be another lost soul but I gather had at least begun (prior to injury) to be being an unsuccessful small forward perhaps reinvented as a small defender, as was Nev himself.

    Easy for me - Max.

    He is honest, loyal, funny and works hard all of the time.   He is so down to earth and has not let fame change him at all.  he is also confident enough to be himself and not try to be what any one else wants him to be - what a great role model.

     

    If I have to pick another (that I am not biased toward), Harmes is it.  His improvement this season has been out of this world.  He seems like a really nice guy too.

    I think Jetta is fantastic, what he gets out of himself is remarkable. He is not the most gifted player, not fast, not big but I back him one on one versus anyone, his tackles are fantastic.

    The most gifted, skillful, fastest thinking, fastest hands is Oliver. It is interesting that the umpires have worked out how fast Oliver is and don't ping him for throwing like last year, he has not changed, the umpires have recognised his skill.  So in a photo finish Clayton Oliver. Apologies Max the best ruckman in the AFL

    It was Nev for a long time. My sons and I chatted to him for about 15 minutes at a family day at Casey, just after shoulder surgery. Top bloke and dedicated to the Dees. Love his reliability and no-nonsense footy.

    Until Angus Brayshaw turned up. This kid is everything I love about footy.  Quick, game breaker, skills on  both sides of his body, hard as nails, runs both ways, and takes risks.

    Big Max followed by Nev and Clarrie.  Always have had a soft spot of Oscar too.

    Interesting to read through the responses here- more variety than I thought there’d be.

    Four years ago it was Jesse and probably still is but too many to choose from these days. They are all unique in their own way. 

    There’s something about OMac also, maybe it’s that little strut he’s got going on.

    100% agree mono.  It's hard not to 'like' every post in this thread.  We are extremely fortunate to have so much talent on our list, and we should be extremely grateful to our Board, Roosy, Peter Jackson and his team, and the whole Football Department for setting us down this path, and holding the course.  To think a player like James Harmes is getting (very deserved) recognition in this thread, is testament to exactly that.  Isn't it great to be a Dees supporter?

    I bought one of those 160 year jerseys, what number do I get on the back? It's an impossible decision

    I can’t separate Clarries skills, TMacs hard work making him so great, and big Maxy!

    so happy to see Harmes, Gus and Frosty taking off lately.

    Max closely followed by James Harmes.

    Well, my lucky number is 11 so it should be Maxy. Oliver is the obvious choice 'cos he's an out and out gun. 

    I'm going to say Melksham. He's as honest as the day is long. He'll compete until he cant walk and he'll kick you 3 or 4 goals or put the ball on a teammates chest as easy as shelling peas.

    Melksham for me.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
