I am interested to know people's favourite dees currently and in history. 

Currently for me would have to be Max Gawn, ever so consistent and rarely plays a poor game 

In history would probably be Flash Davey. Reinvented himself to become a penetrative deliver I50, would be a perfect addition for our current side, its just a pity he played in a weak side

 

Ever: Matty Whelan. No fuss toughness, always shepherded, massively underrated IMO.

Current: Would change week to week tbh, but probably Steven May. Great kick, super reliable defender, gets around his team mates and seems to have that ruthless competitiveness to him that we've lacked for so long.

Ditto on May. Bloke is so passionate 

 

Most of the blokes who've worn the number 2 in the last 50 years.

 


Current: Max

Past: Travis Johnstone, sublime skills at his peak, a rare talent.

Past: Lyon, Jakovich, Schwarz and the Wiz Jeff Farmer

Current: PETRACCAAAAAAA

followed by the WEEEEEED, Viney and May

Current is Tracc. Ever is Jako.


Current : Nathan Jones - maybe getting a little slower in his older age but has been the backbone of this club for a long time.

Past - Robbie Flower 

80's Flower

90's Jakovich

00's Neitz/Wiz tie

10's Hogan

20's Oliver/Petracca

Current - Clayton Oliver.
Will finish his career as the best midfielder to ever don the red and blue. He's the best ball-winning midfielder in my lifetime and still has so much potential to become an even more damaging player. If he reaches his potential then he'll be a league superstar. He's already well on his way with multiple BnFs and All Australian at such a young age!

Past - Travis Johnstone.
Smooth mover and a sublime kick, I still miss him firing lasers onto Neitz's chest. We haven't had a player of his class since. He was tagged his whole career and yet still led the league for years in effective kicks and inside 50s and score assists. He was a big game player too, was always amongst our best in finals. That 2002 semi-final against Adelaide is still the best and worst match I've attended.

Other past favorites - Allen Jakovich, Jeff Farmer, David Schwartz, Stephen Tingay, Adem Yze.

All time: R Flower, doubt there will ever be a better Demon. 

Spot on.


My first love was RIcky Jackson  - I was born 3 months premature - so always small growing up (don't worry, I'm a unit now) - he was small and jumped out of lockers on the Vinyl Edition of  C'Mon Demons- so there was a nice connection for me there.

I always liked Stephen Tingay (does anyone remember the time at West Coast he blind turned after almost getting chased down on the wing and the two WCE players smashed into one other), Sean Charles, Kevin Dyson and Guy Rigoni and cried when David Schwarz did his knee at Lavington.

But - YZE always did it for me

Currently... Charlie Spargo... I just like the little ones, who are quirky... I suspect he will be a big game player.

 

I love players that bring excitement, you never know what you're going to get hence my favourite 2 would be Farmer and Jurrah. Players who bring the crowd to their feet just be getting near to the ball. "Shivers"

Make that 70 years. I would like to include my namesake as one of the great Number Twos.

My first love was Newport then it was Brett Lovett then it was Stynes then it was Tingay then it was Todd Viney then it was the Wiz then it was Neita then it was Jones then it was Jurrah back to Jones now it's Jack Viney.


Top 3 in order:

Ever: Farmer, Woewodin, Jurrah

Current: Petracca, May, Oliver

I hope you're right, because if that were to be true, that would make him better than Ronald Dale Barassi. Given you could argue that wingmen today are also considered to be midfielders, that would make him better than Flower, too, and probably a whole heap of others.

Flower is my favourite of all time. I would be surprised if anyone who saw him play doesn't claim Flower as their favourite, unless they're old enough to remember Barassi and a few other players of the late 50s and early 60s. Today's team? I have a soft spot for Salem. I like his silky style.

 

My heart goes out to all Demon fans who never had the pleasure of witnessing the pure footballing genius of Robert Flower.

Built like Jane, played like Tarzan.

A superstar in any era.

Current: Oliver. A class above the rest. Has the skills, the size and the potential to be the best player in the AFL in time.

All time: The incomparable, unmatchable Robbert Flower. Better by several orders of magnitude above all that have played VFL/AFL, not just Dees, in the 60+ years I have watched.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
