Nietz instead of Stynes.

 

Dominance in time of prosperity is one thing, dominance in times of extreme hardship is something else.

Robbie the greatest demon for me.

i dunno, always wondered why he self reported over the salary cap fiasco when his own personal business ethics were so questionable 

Checker Hughes - changed culture brought 4 flags and made us Demons

Norm - needs no explanation 

Robbie Flower- shining light through dark times along with god given football ability 

Jim Stynes - club stalwart on the ground and driving force behind the debt demolition, which sees we still exist 

Missing out

RDB - great player but can't single him out from those great sides, his coaching greatness was elsewhere 

Neiter - most games, most games as skipper and most goals 

 


By era:

Warne-Smith- bias here, but until the 80's he was in all the top ten lists, 50 years after he played, Bunton, Coventry etc described him as their best opponent. Hard as nails and then there is his time as Chairman of Selectors working with Smith in the 50's

Barassi-Our Michael Voss but better. Obviously there is unanimous consent on this so i won't bore further...

Flower- Supremely skilled, lay down flush. Again consent on RF.

Stynes- Lion heart, what an amazing human. He could've the bloke from 'unbroken', just never gives up...

Smith and Hughes would obviously get gigs as coaches, I went players only.

Stiff: Many; Neitz, Adams, Allan La Fontaine - Captain of a hat trick of premierships ffs.

I think you've identified the real problem. Mt Rushmore is just not suitable. We need something that allows greater representation. Something that would enable many more MFC luminaries to be chosen. Something like the Terracotta Warriors.

Mind you, a funerary tomb might send the wrong message.

Stynes: Greatest football story....Brownlow, 4 x Bluey's, 2 x AA, Hall of Fame & 244 consecutive games.....rediculous!

Flower: Super skilled in very difficult times but more importantly, loyal to the red & blue, Capt 81-87, 1 x Bluey, Hall of Fame & 2 x AA

Barassi: 6 Premierships, 2 Bluey's, Capt 60-64 & Hall of fame

Neitz: Capt 2000 - 08, 1 x Bluey, Coleman 02, 2 x AA, Hall of Fame & 7 time leading goal kicker

 

 

 

Agree with those 4. Flower had no right to be as brave as he was with a build like that.

 

Injury probably stopped Schwarz and maybe even Jakovich being up for consideration. Amazing footballers early in their careers.


to me ivor warne-smith was the greatest demon of all time. Maybe not the greatest player (though pretty close).

his life was like something out of a boys' own almanac.....he did everything....literally

I won't go through all the detail......you can read for yourself at wikipedia - ivor warne-smith

 

no wonder norm smith had such success with a team of him, jimmy cardwell, Ivor warne-smith and checker hughes

Yes, we could do with I.W. Smith right now

Quite a man. I miss the Ivor Warne doors at the Members Entrance...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
