    Bit early to be calling Brayshaw a 1 club player.

    I have to agree. I'm not questioning the loyalty of any of our current players but they may just be one dissatisfied with a contract away from being a marquee signing at another club. 

    Most likely they will be one club players but a team like this should be reserved for past players. Just my 2 cents.

    Both Cordner and Stynes won a Brownlow as s ruck. As much as I love Max, not sure he’s the starting ruck.

    2 All Australians 4th in the brownlow. He's a better ruck than Stynes, how tall was Cordner never saw him play I expect he'd be too small to play in the ruck now.

    Like the team but think the only current player you could really include would be Jones. I’m not expecting them to leave but way too early to put Oliver, Viney, Gawn and Brayshaw

    I'd drop Viney from this team and place Johnson on the HFFlk, ..... ah, oohh, mumble ... too hard to select or leave players out. Why can't we pick of Best 35 Players, instead? G Lovett was a ball magnet and very attacking in his disposal ... nope, too hard to pick such a team.... sorry. They all look good on this offering but each could be manipulated ...

    Careful with that argument. Gary Hardeman was 187 cm...he'd be too small to play CHB now.

    You should also make the point that (I presume) you're only picking players you saw play. Otherwise there's a huge group of Premiership players missing from your squad who just might be good enough to get a game.

    In support of this; I would think that Hardeman was so talented, attacking and valuable at CHBack - regardless of his height coz he had the build and a phantastique leap at the ball with vice-like marking skills (never saw him drop one) - that he would be up there alongside or ahead of any of the very talented CHBacks that we have ever had in any team. Just on more recent flashbacks, he was far better, for example, than the very creditable likes of Ingerson and Wight - and perhaps, on a par with the young Neitz when he played at CHBack - albeit a totally different type of player and role between the ages. No kidding!

    Brett Lovett?

    Adem Yze?

    Brad Green?

    Aaron Davey?

    Nathan Brown?

    How someone like Liam Jurrah gets a guernsey in this 'side' over some of the above is criminal.  Not to mention others getting a gig who haven't even finished their careers yet.

    In order for this to make sense, I suggest that the names be restricted to those who have played since 1987, the first year of our resurrection after 1964.

    Should also exclude current players but struggling to find replacements for Jones, Oliver, J Viney, Jetta, TMac and Max.

    Consider Obst, Davey, Yze, Green and then run out of names. So many ex players played elsewhere.

    Liam Jurrah might have been a shooting star but he was still a star. Cat like movement and radar sharp anticipation plus he could mark and kick goals. Whether or not he deserves to be in this squad is a real question.

    Brett Lovett is a must. (He didn't play a senior game at dorks) The best hbf I have seen in 30 years. In for S Febey who would not complain.

    Gary Hardeman was also a champion but played before 1987. Otherwise a certainty even though he was only 187. Leaves Neitz as the standout for for chb.

    I've got him in the imports because he was at the dorks.

    Neitz would be FF

    Viney replaces Jones in the middle and Yze goes to the pocket

    Reckon Flash would be better off HBF than Febes

    You underrate Febes a little, Pennant.  He was a terrific HBF in his day.  Flash is a must in the side, though - preferably in a forward pocket, feasting on the crumbs that Neitz, Ox, Lyon etc get him.

    I do remember him Wise tough call but Flash's ball use when he moved to the backline was a thing of beauty

    Robbo and Lyon can play small Green as well. Yze can play forward as can Flower and Davey is in the side.

    The side really reads.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
