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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
