    Stinga, still my all time favourite Demon!!

    All of them. Can’t choose, but I’m looking forward (hopefully) to reacquainting myself with my love for Viney.

    For the girls, it’s almost a boring answer but you just can’t go past Daisy. Legend.

    I couldn't decide. My wife got 13 on my jumper for me this year but I wouldn't have been disappointed with 11, 10, 5, or 7.

    Special mention to Harmes Salem, and Spargo fast joining that list.

    Also hard to go against number 2, my wife would run away with Jonesy.

    So I have Oliver.

    Wife has Jones.

    5 year old has Petracca.

    3 year old has Hunt.

    When they kick the footy they always argue over who is going to be Petracca, my wife said one day "why doesn't one of you be Jonesy?" (Which is also the name of one of our cats) youngest says "I'll be Fiesty Girl" (the other cat)

    Just saw from someone else's comments that it was Stinga Tingay. That's who thought of initially, remembering that he came from there.

    Will always be one of my absolute favourites.

    Stinga's top shelf!!!

    Am torn between Nev( for sheer perserverance that has enabled his class to shine thru) , TMac (Pride) , Gus ( loves the club and had shown a lot of courage ), Clarrie ( for phoneboxfooty par excellence),Jonsey (for loyalty & effort) & Max (for being Max, for perserverance through injury issues), with Harmesy coming through fast.

    I have to admit too, that when Mikshake was coming to Dees, I ran around the house to cool down.

    So  my jumper does not have a number on it ,but is Navy & Red

    Oliver and Gus for me.  Oliver for the fact that he is so very, very special.  Gus, partly because of the issues he's had to overcome, but also because he just seems like a great kid.  I remember seeing him carry off Daniel Cross' kid after Crossy's last game, and I though then that Gus had quality about him.

    I also like to try and find a diamond in the rough after each draft, and remember being very impressed with Nibbler in his first preseason.  There was a video about him not long after her was drafted, where he explained he was studying disability studies (or similar) because his grandma is in a wheelchair, so he wanted to learn about it more and work in the field.  (I think that's close to the story).  Thought then that he was a quality kid, and when I saw him at his first Maroochydore training camp, I could tell then that he had something about him from a footy perspective too.

    Dom Tyson for me and then next would have to be Oscar MacDonald.

    bit left of field but i love the work ethic and commitment to the club, both have suffered setbacks and both pick themselves up again and again. 

    (obviously i still love all the others, Clarry, Max, Nev, Gus, Harmes, Frosty, the list goes on)

    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?

    I'm always a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam and Oliver is always my favourite.

    I have been waiting a while, and I know he will pay dividends, but Christian Petracca for me.

    Cannot split Maxy and Clarrie. Nev and Angus also great. Isn't wonderful that we now have so many name players? Very pleased Harmes has shown his real capabilty too. Love them all.

    Such a tough call, Brayshaw and Jones are probably my slight favourites.

    To all the Harmes supporters, I will add that he is probably the best at taking time to sign autographs for the kids in the pink shirt warm up, when the players are doing their own set shot stuff etc. He just really seems to be loving his footy at the moment, he'll always take photos and sign autographs with the kids and he normally has a bigger grin then them. ?

    @dimmy

    “phone-booth footy excellence” - I love it, coined a phrase perhaps, but it’s probably the most apt way to describe Oliver’s work ???

    Tie for Clarry and Maxy, though some of the stuff Clarry is doing now is putting him in elite start category. We’ve got something special with him.

    Neville Jetta, for his tenacity.

    Love Nevs bear hug tackles, which include him strangling his opponent with his legs.

    Nev for me, tough, reliable  and highly skilled

    Nev is the third 'single favoured' so far on this page ... guess I am a tart for the boys, it is so hard to separate Clarrie, Gawnie and Nev, that's why. Each is just one step below the great Robbie, in my opinion, with Gus pushing up each game and yet, no-one will ever exceed Flower in terms of team contribution, skill, expertise, 'unbeatableness', heart and loyalty to the MFC. I still miss Robbie and wish we had another one these days. Just imagine if he was in the current team!

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
