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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
