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. 

 

 

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.

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.

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!

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
