Hee hee - Chris Heffernan - curious about your logic on him please.

  • Demonland changed the title to Out Best 22 Imports
  • Author

Mainly to see if he can still arouse the same fury from Dee supporters 

 

You can't include Lever based on 10 games yet. That's just projecting. 


Out: Heffernen, Lever, Pickett and Rodan
In: Vince, Hibberd, Melksham and Garlett. 

 

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.

Jeff White - Darren Bennett - Byron Pickett - Peter Moore  etc

Coach = Paul Roos 

Would like to see Daniel Cross in there too.

How about Alastair Clarkson? I’d put him on the bench or coach.

White, Powell, Cross, Bennet Vince hibberd, btw where is Werridee, thought he'd be all over this

Powell a definite. A short time but a good time. 


Peter Vardy deserves a guernsey, thought he went ok.

Checker Hughes worth consideration

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.

Melksham and Hibberd are locks for this team. A big part of our resurgence as a force in the AFL. 


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.

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

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

Sure was. Had one real good year. Might have even finished on the podium in the B&F

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
