What changes would you make if the team was revised to include the last 20 years?   The obvious one is David Neitz comes into the team.  Max Gawn would have to go close, if not be a certainty.

    Neiter probably takes Norms position at Full forward

    Sad that it's difficult to find many in the last 20 years that would slot straight in. Maybe Nietz, but I think Max still needs a few more good seasons to qualify.

    interesting how few players from 1964-2000 (36 years)

    starting 18 - only 2

    interchange - only 2 (and that is an extended interchange of 6)

    emergencies - only 2 (emergencies not really part of team)

    Could Jonesy potentially edge out Viney Senior for an interchange spot?

    Additions I'd deem worthy:

    David Neitz 306 games 2 x All Australians

    Adem Yze 271 games 1 x All Australian

    Max Gawn 121* games 3 x All Australian

    Neitz is leading goal kicker and games record holder for the club. He gets a gig. 

    Unfortunately noone else from the past twenty years would make the team. Shows why we've been so consistently poor this century.

    Nathan Jones could potentially squeeze onto the emergencies. Gawn might also crack the team if he keeps his form up for a few more years.

    Neitz CHB. Great as Gary Hardeman was he strengths were speed, skill and marking but not the strength to go toe to toe with a Carey.

    Gary would find it too hard to displace either Noel McMahon or Don Williams on a HBF but would make a great wingman (where he started) and probably displace Dixon who was a one trick pony (but a thoroughbred when it came to finding the ball) with poor kicking skills at a time when territory was king.

    If not then a place on the bench would have to be found. He was that good but, because of our then deficiencies,  mostly played out of position but he was so good is was not noticed.

    Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast would all roll out teams from the last 20 years that would smack that all-time Demon side by 10 goals plus.

     

    Geez we have been awful at bringing in and developing talent at this club.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
