    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
