I’d hate to be the bloke to break it to Jaka that he was starting on the bench! 😄

There are possibly too many permutations and combinations but the following players, who do not appear in all selections,  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,  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.

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.  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

Stynes, Jones, Jakovich, S.Febey,

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.

What about Brent Grgic?

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

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

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 HBF 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 overlooked for FF; Darren Bennett is the highest goal scorer in a year by a Melbourne player from 1990 onwards (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.

Goals Player Year
1 97 Fred Fanning 1947
2 89 Norm Smith 1941
3 87 Fred Fanning 1944
3 87 Darren Bennett 1990

    GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs GWS

    It's Game Day and this could be the Demons last roll of the dice for their chances at making finals this season as the come face to face with the hot and cold GWS Giants tonight at the MCG in a true 8 point game.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
