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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
