    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
