    Both players suffered ACL's,  at least a couple of times.

    But if both were uninterrupted by knee injuries,  then IMO,  Schwartz could have bee one of the AFL's best ever players.

    Got to agree with you here. Schwartz in my opinion would  have won a Brownlow from a forward spot he was that talented. Shame he did his knees. Was brilliant to watch when on song.

    Schwarz circa 1994 is close to my favourite all-time Demon player.   Please posters, don't put a "T" in his name!  *pedant rant over*

    I hadn't realised  I was doing that.  Thanks ds'.

    This is becoming too hard. Whoever  I chose will be up against Neitz in the next round and, in any reasonable sense, I would pick all three to be in the best team that I have seen in 60 years.

    Even worse, the chosen one out of these three would most likely have to go up against  Jimmy. That is going too far. I can no longer participate in this process.

    So whilst I would select David ahead of Sean I will no longer submit a vote. Next time let us be asked to name a top 5, 10 or 20 so that we do not have to tear ourselves apart pitting heros against heros. It's just too hard.

    This is currently a top 8 poll though so i doubt you'll handle a top 5 ?

    So,  the Grand Final playoff,  will be the magical match-number,  '31'.

    Anyone who hasn’t read Schwarz’s biography ‘All bets are off’, give it a look.  Astounding story and very easy to read.  Recasts his career in a completely different light.

    A top five is easy. Stynes, Schwarz, Neitz, Wight would all be worthy candidates along with Lyon.

    To have a contest between any two of this group is disrespectful and unbearable.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
