     Id have to find a spot for Aaron Davey, probably in place of Fritsch, Brad Greene fairly stiff to miss to.

    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.

    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.  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,

    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.

    I’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 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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
