    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.

     

    Forgot abot this bloke. Nice blast from the past.

    At present Im thinking about Sean White probably cos Lever's cookie crumbler reminds me of him. One of the toughest dfenders MFC ever had.

    Also Fritta reminds me a little of that famous number 2. (B4 I get canned .....mostly in his body size and athleticism).

    All time fave without question is Mr Jim Stynes  who unfortunately like Sean Wight, taken too early.

    Had the pleasure to meet him once. Jim Stynes was a wonderful bloke and gave his all for the club, both on and off the field.

    Presently, I think I would put Max down as my currrent fave. For the same reasons just mentioned for Mr Stynes.

    Went to THAT GAME  when he kicked NINE.... all in the  2nd against the filth. Was truly magical stuff that day. Was a one man excitement machine and alone was worth the price of admission (which in the good ol days was probably a fiver and you didnt need to ring your accountant to see if you coild buy a beer).

    Colossal error, trading Thompson ... in a weak team at the MFC, he would have continued to contribute significantly to our needs for success. He played for such a long time, once gone, absolutely fit almost forever.

    Not our choice. Scott & family had a falling out with Neal Daniher - He went home for family reasons.

    I'm surprised no one has said Jetta, he is right up there for modern players for mine.

    Past: Neitz, Robbo, Wiz
    Current: Gawn, Jetta, Jones

    My favourite player as a kid was Stephen Febey. I liked that he wasn’t a superstar, but someone who worked hard to contribute to the team. I also liked the number 21. He also had a blonde-tipped mullet for a while which was pretty cool. 
    I remember all the other kids teasing me at little league that a) I followed the Dees and b) I had the number of a no-name toiler on my back.

    Not sure we can allow your opinion to count. It's almost a post which should be deleted by the moderators on the grounds of offensive taste.

    Hard Call.

    Ever; As a young bloke who just missed the glory years the players that keep me a life long Dee were; Ray Biffin, never took a backward step and I loved his games against Peter McKenna over the years. Same with Matthew Whelan,  and what got me very excited was the centre line of Wells, Alves & Flower. Never forget the goal Alves kicked from the wing at Windy Hill just before half time , it set us up to win , which was the first and only time I had ever seen us beat Essendon out there.

    Current ; May (see Biffin) and Petracca, Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw  are starting to give me the same enjoyment.

    Loved  watching Stynes Lyon and Jako.

    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.

    Me too.  My kids wonder why I always bring up a finals loss as one of the highlights of following the dees.  Travis that day, in the 3rd quarter in particular, was insanely good.  40 pts down to 17 up I think, only to run out of legs in the last.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
