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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
