Or this current decade. 21 Dees and 2 Hawks, same as 2007- 15 but inn reverse

Sorry but it is not 2015 to 2021 Demons 31 to Hawks 2.

The following Hawks are certainties 

Sam Mitchell , Jaeger Omeara Sicily Silk and Like Bruest and possibly Jack Gunston.

That's  6   Those from our GF side who would not beat these 6 for experience consistency ability and team discipline over a decade or a 5 year  period are:

Petty Spargo Jordon Sparrow ANB and Harmesy.

Thsts not too denigrate any of our players but the above group have only played ONE season of note and not even established a regulation spot yet in our best 23. ( They all deserve to be selected in Round1 however as premiership players)

But if you had to select players over the 5 years those 6 Hawks are ahead as of end of 2021.

End  of 2023/4/5 very different story probably.

I was also a huge B.Lovett (and G.Lovett) fan back in the day.  My sister actually went to girl guides with one of Brett's nieces who's parents ran the family plant nursery (where I believe Brett also worked sometimes?) in Box Hill.

Yep, he referred to himself as a ‘landscaper’ when asked his occupation. I was such a Brett Lovett tragic as a kid that I told my mum and dad if I wasn’t going to be a footballer I wanted to be a landscaper.

Today I live in an apartment and own exactly one plastic plant.

And yes he was a footballer's footballer but he was also suuupppeeer sloooooww,

He didn't need to be quick. His ball use and decision making was exquisite.

O'Meara is not a certainty I think his career has been very disappointing for the Hawks. Give me Petty over Sicily any day. It's Tom Mitchell Sam is the coach.

 

B: Sicily, May, Lever

HB: Salem, Petty, Rivers

C: Langdon, Petracca, Brayshaw

HF: Gunston, McDonald, Neal-Bullen

F: Breust, B.Brown, Fritsch

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Mitchell

IC: Jackson, Pickett, Bowey, Harmes

That is true and I don't diagree, but Salem has both.

While Salem hasn't had quite the same longevity as a footballer yet, he does have the claim of being a premership player and brilliant performance over that season overall and the GF when it really counts.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
