You also forget Gary Baker, Stephen Icke, Peter Vardy and Peter Rohde. 

How you could contemplate Rodan, Carman, Catoggio and Turley is beyond my comprehension. They played but a handful of games for Melbourne, none of them any good.

Jordan Lewis and I don’t have him in the current best 22.

The significance of his decision to come to Melbourne can never be undersestimated for the credibility it gave a previously basketcase club.

It also reinforced to the players, staff and long suffering supporters we were not only on the right track but heading into contention for a shot at a flag.

In ancient history, my grandad used to say that the importation of Percy Page and Checker Hughes from Richmond was the key element in setting up sustained success and 10 flags for Melbourne from the late 1930s till 1964.  

In the current era Jackson/Goodwin have been the most important imports we’ve brought in, together with Roos - “the recession-buster we had to have” to paraphrase Paul Keating. Goody looks as though he’s a star in the making as a coach ?, but we did need Roos to get our moribund club through ICU and out of being on life support. 

I know they’re not players, but they are likely to be the most important imports we’ve had for a long, long time.

Yeah true, but Vince really made the inertia real, and introduced a style of play that the Dees could be proud of!

Can we squeeze Shaun Smith somewhere in there? For mark of the century alone.

More than just taking mark of the century, Smithy was an absolute gun.

Hard as nails (probably too hard for his own good given his concussion damage) and also provided a father-son who could still be anything for the MFC.  I'd find a way to squeeze him into the team somehow.

Would be garenteed to feature in the highlights real for this side every week.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
