Current: Tracc

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

The next Melb premiership team will be the best Demons for 50 plus years 

Yes we should laud and remember our champions but that  next flag 22 will all be immortals along with the Coach.

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!

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.

Current: Max. A man of the people, undisputed gun on the field, leader of all facets of our club.

Past: My local Russel Robertson :)


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

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. 

Past : Tassie Johnson, Robbie Flower defied the laws of motion,  Lyon for leadership, Neitz we took for granted - Wiz and Jako for entertainment

Current : Trac has turned into the player we all hoped for, Salem cool as a cucumber

 

Greatest ever: Robert Flower (there's a surprise ?), honourable mention Jeff Farmer.

Current: Max Gawn

 

I just missed Robbie as I grew up supporting the Dees in 89. I'm spewin


Flower was the best by far,great skills and courage,RDB,Don williams,A Johnson was fantastic.Today I think Max ,Oliver Tracc and the weid will be our future.Saw all of the late fiftys and sixties every player back then were champs

Hassa Mann was my all time favourite. Robbie Flower was just sublime.

Of the current crop, Ksiah Picket

Current. Max

Past. Flower and Grinter.

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

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.

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.

 

Former: Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler, Rod Grinter, Russell Richards, Todd Viney, Dan Hughes and of course the legend that is Robert Flower. 
Current: Maxy, Nev Jetta, Vanders Jack Viney and Steve May.

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. 

For me it was a certain Ronald Dale Barassi until he defected on us ?

Now it’s Nathan Jones (he’s stayed the course!!!)

  • 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

    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.

    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.
