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?

Funnily enough, as a drunk 31 yr old in a pub in Amsterdam, I've pondered this very question a number of times this year.

Always went 5 for Schwarta so if I was a kid prob Tracc.  

Think 31 will get pretty popular again in coming years...

    Clarry has me hitting the rewind button more than anyone else. Probably the most skillful player I have ever seen.

    Right now I'm  lovin it when crazy horse frost gets his hands on the ball.

    Viney for his courage and the way he would run through a brick wall for us.

    Gus for the way he's come back and improved. Our next captain with Viney once Jones retires I reckon.

    But geez if we had 40 blokes with the resilience and never say die attitude of Sir Neville Jetta we'd be unbeatable.

    Every second week he seems to get poleaxed and he just goes again. Never let's a tackle slip.

    Has to be Nev for mine.

    You know things are going well when your discussing who's your favorite player. We have so many likable players now, even other supporters like a lot of our players; they're talented, with admired personalities. 

    Without thinking about it too heavily, Jonesy. The amount of times over the years he's wriggled his way free form tackles to find a teammate with me saying 'Jonesy too good' is great. As is he!

    Hibbs for me.

    Brings maturity to a young list. 

    Reads the play beautifully. The backline can set up around his instincts, attack, defend, lock down or get ball.

    Reliable, good decision maker, makes others better players, rarely makes mistakes and can bring some "x" factor

    Stays calm, remains humble, leads by example.

    Lot to like about the whole list these days.

    Aside from thw obvious ones i really enjoy having Jake Milkshake in the side. Always hated him as a bombers player beacuse he always  had a few goals in him, same reason i enjoy watching him play for us

    Jeffy remains a favourite despite the lack of job security. It will be a shame if we don't get to see him light up the G in September but understandable given his dip in form.

    I'll never forget Jones' service during the dark times and for that he'll always be a favourite.

    Vines, Nev and Clarry. Self explanatory.

    Vanders aka vandenFyfe aka the Punisher is rocketing to the top of my list. As Darcy would say, I love the way he goes about it.

    Oh and Fritta.

    Ah to hell with it. I love em all.

    It’s like choosing your favourite child but on present form James Harmes is becoming one I like to watch the most mainly because of his exponential growth as a player. He has been critical to our recent form by locking down the opposition best mid and getting plenty of his own damaging ball.

    Max, for lots of reasons, just ahead of Clayton.

    Salem. 

    Because I can’t split Nev and Clayton.

    Tom McDonald. Hence my avatar. Looks like me. Plays like I wish I could play if I were a little taller. Actually plays like my dad a bit, from all reports.

    So basically, I'm a narcissist.

    Huge respect for Neville Jetta.

    Love knowing how much it must annoy Essendon supporters that Melksham is doing so well now.

    But you can look back over years of my posts and you'll see, it has been Angus Brayshaw at the top for me for a long time.

  • Quote

    hunt and harmes- both were late picks,possibly backups to brayshaw and petracca.

  • Quote

    Very hard to split Oliver and Brayshaw but Oliver is just ahead for me, haven't loved a player this much since I first saw a young no52 from Shepparton.

    Hard to go past Nev when he rarely blunders the ball nor loses a contest.

    Oscar McDonald. Gives it 100% every week and is very resilient. At the footy when he wins his 1v1 nobody really gets behind him, so I love to give a good shout of "onya omac!".

    Frost and AVB - loving what they're contributing back there without Lever. Stepping up when the stepping up was required!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
