    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
