Iโ€™d hate to be the bloke to break it to Jaka that he was starting on the bench! ๐Ÿ˜„

There are possibly too many permutations and combinations but the following players, who do not appear in all selections,ย  IMO must be included in any team that claims to represent the best:

Travis Johnstone; Brett Lovett; Alan Jackovich (before injury); Liam Jurrah (before injury)

IMO questionable selections included in the above teams include Ingerson, J Viney, Jones,ย  J McDonald, Jetta, Hibbert; Langdon; Fritsch; Salem.

With a goal to goal line of May, Neitz, Oliver, Schwarz and Jackovich we could take on and beat the world.

How anyone could contemplate a side without Brett Lovett is beyond me. Ditto Aaron Davey.

Lovett for Salem, Bruce for Jones, Green for Robertson - you have too many high flyers otherwise - Tingay for Johnstone, and Alan Johnson for Ingerson. ( Johnson finished in 1990 so technically, he qualifies.) Whelan for Febey, the most unlucky one to miss. With May, Neitz and Lever you have enough tall timber down back, you can throw Lyon down there if needed and you bring on Jakovich.ย  Sounds like the plan to me...

Ergo:

Whelan, May, Johnson

Lovett, Neitz, Lever

Yze, Bruce, Tingay

Green, Schwartz, Petracca

Davey, Lyon, Framer

Gawn, Oliver, T.Viney

Readung this I have visions of Schwartz and Jakovich playing chf and ff in this current side. Wow.

HF: Petracca, Schwarz, Bruce
F: Davey, Neitz, Lyon
Foll: Gawn, Jones, Yze
Int: Stynes, Jakovich, Green, Wight
Emg: Robertson, Johnstone , White, J. McDonald

Almost tempted to slaughter the sacred cow and go for Jeff White over Stynes but I don't think the resting ruckman will need to kick too many goals with that forward line.

Hayden Lamaro and Isaac Weetra stiff to miss.

I don't think Bruce would get a a game at his peak in the current squad, let alone best team since 1990.

J Viney would be more deserving.

Iโ€™m a bit surprised with the amount of teams without Nate Jones in them.

Team captain, 3x B&F and 2nd for all time games played made him a certain starter for mine.

What about Brent Grgic?

Btw no way Jeff White is ahead of Stynes, accept for not running over the mark and all.

3 time VFL team of team of the year (basically All Australian before it existed), would be the first picked for me as he just fits straight in on HBFย whereas Lyon, Oliver, Petracca etc... are all moral's to be in and better players, but there could be some query as to the actual position (Neitz for me as an example is CHB, but could understand why some may say FF).
As a useless side note often overlookedย for FF; Darren Bennett is the highest goal scorer in a year by a Melbourne player from 1990 onwardsย (87 in 1990 which makes him the highest since Fred Fanning and second in history I believe @Supermercado?) although it really was only 1989-1991 he was of note so I can understand why no one has him in.

I'd have this as almost bang on, except Jurrah wasn't around long enough to show a consistent year let alone a career (I'd have him in the Sean Charles category, exciting for a brief period). I'd replace him with Jones or even the Bald Eagle who at his best was an exceptional player before injuries. I think in 3 years time, a few more of the current crop hopefully would have this changed up a bit.

87 is equal third for most goals in a season.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™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: โ€œThen 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.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย 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, โ€œIt 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, โ€ฆโ€ย  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.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
