    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...

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
