The OP asked for our favourite players past n present. I've never seen a better Demon and as I said I doubt we will. Hope I'm wrong! Quote

Agree that Robbie is elite but have no doubt if Trac Clarry or Gawny andone or two others play in our next flag they will go to another level of favouritism. All 3 are starting to put together a cv which if mirrored over the next 5/6 years and a flag or two will trump IMO any player of the last 50 years in history and achievement. Quote
Purple77 1,025 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Current: Max. A man of the people, undisputed gun on the field, leader of all facets of our club. Past: My local Russel Robertson Quote
whatwhat say what 23,854 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 current: clayton oliver - he'll end up the best midfielder we've ever had past: jim stynes - revolutionised the art of ruck craft (big boy!) and while he's gone he's definitely not forgotten 2 Quote
Rab D Nesbitt 8,955 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 On my duffle coat I had Mark Jackson's number (25) then on my woollen royal blue guernsey Michael Reynolds (46) followed by Brad Sparks (42) on my navy blue lace up. Maxy is my favourite of our current crop of players. Quote

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 We have similar taste in players. It was always the Wiz for me and then Flash took that mantle. Maxy is an absolute gun but also comes across as a top shelf human being and would be my current fave as well. I remember choosing my team when I was about 7. My parents had other teams but weren't footy crazy, so I had free rein. The footy itself had nothing to do with my choice - it was all about who I thought were the coolest looking cats. At the time, there was a guy playing for Melbourne wearing the number 2 who looked like he could have been fronting the next big thing to come out of Seattle or catching waves down at Bell's. That was it, I'd found my team. So to sum up, this is all Stinga's fault. Edited August 20, 2020 by Cheesy D. Pun Quote
Bendigo Demon 115 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 As a kid, Robbie Flower was our shining light. An absolute superstar. As an adult, Jeff Farmer and Aaron Davey. Farmer took my breath away so many times with goals, marks, absolutely amazing. Davey made me laugh, just with his pace, tackling, love for the game. Can't remember anybody who has made me smile as much as these 2 blokes at their best. 2 Quote

Stevienic23 1,185 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Aarok Davey. When he first came on the scene his chase down tackles and forward line pressure was next level. He then moved up the ground and I haven't seen a better field kicker before or since at the club. I remember one game at Etihad against the Bulldogs (granted there were 12 ppl there) the sound of the footy coming off his boot was crisp and you could hear the air coming out of the ball. Quote
Bravo Oliver, Bravo 182 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 For me it was a certain Ronald Dale Barassi until he defected on us ? Now it’s Nathan Jones (he’s stayed the course!!!) 1 Quote
