Given the pain they’ve put me through, I reckon I should get the nod.

Danners for mine.

    Jimmy Toumpas and Tom Scully.

    In all seriousness though if healthy enough, Daniher. Otherwise, Barassi.

    Where's Jane Bunn?

    Is she a supporter? Would like to hug her after we win it.

    EDIT: she's a Saints supporter. Probably needs a hug anyway.

    I think I'd hug anything if we win the flag Clint

    Noticed Garry Lyon has no votes, that’s fine and understandable. However I think media and obvious history aside he would be right in the mix. Sorry if this steps on toes but as a player the guy was everything that this club epitomises and one of the greatest skippers we ever had. Happy to take heat over this, go for it.

    Two presenters. for me... on the Dais.   Of course Barassi,,, but also Roosy.

    Barassi recruited & coached Roosy, when he went up to save The Swans... and Roosy, took the job to its zenith.

     

    Of course we all know Barass's contribution to the D's.

    And we all owe Roosy, for this build, who inturn owed Barassi for doing the same in Sydney town.

    I've thought about this over the years.  If he was still alive, the only choice would be Robbie.  If Garry Lyon's personal brand hadn't gone down the toilet it would be him. 

    But I think it has to be Neita. Like Matt Richardson for the Tigers, it is he who manfully battled through the modern struggles of our club.

    I love Barass and would be happy to see him hold the cup...but honestly....he has lifted enough cups!!!

    Fair comment I think layzie. People forget Garry was in our Team of The Century and a champion. Most people I assume hate him over the Neeld debacle but even Garry said last week on SEN he regrets getting involved but he was in a hard situation trying to help Jimmy and do it for him. He just made a bad choice, as we all have, but he wore his heart on his sleeve and bled for this club as a player and loves the Dees, he only wants the best and success as we all do.

    RDB is at all Melbourne home games and our last premiership captain in which year he also won the BnF and played 204 games with the Demons. I'm all for first in line and RDB would be that.

    That’s right Febes, it would just be nice if people could put that stuff to the side and remember what he did for our club. It was a terrible spot he was put in. 

    Yep it has to be Barass. Absolutely.

    I think “The Prince” Hertier Lumumba would be a fitting person to present the cup ,as he is the chosen one.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
