Oliver followed by James Harmes, the people’s player. 

Clarrie

TMac.

Has to be Oliver. Will go down as a Demons great.

Tough to split Nev and Oliver.

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.

Harmes and Melksham 

Heart says Nev.

Head says Clarrie.

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.

Adding on

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.

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

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?

Added sentence.

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.
