    There'd be 'better' players, but geez, imagine a forward line mix featuring Brown, TMac, Kozzy, Fritsch and Jurrah..

    Ooft.

    Robbie Flower would dominate on a wing in today's game.  He is literally built for today's style of footy.  Imagine him and Langers on each wing, then Gus slotting inside the guts.  Mouth watering.

    Although he tarnished his reputation with meddling in  our administration: G Lyon

    Nathan Jones. Very good player who soldiered on valiantly during some very very lean years. Such a pity he couldn't make the grand final team

    Can't have won a premiership? Well bugger. Guess I can't choose Chris Dawes.

     

    Shannon Byrnes also also hard done by with this criteria

    Schwarta in his prime was ahead of Carey at his best imo, but I’d still go for Robbie ……. true ‘poetry in motion’.

    I'd go with Jurrah as well. We only had a glimpse of what he was capable of.

    Well well, here's a first!!  I'm actually going to agree with Nev.

    To see the wasted talent of Jurrah in our current team would fill the "G!

    Liam Jurrah. Some of the most fun I've ever had watching football. 

    Certainly was an entertainment machine as was Jakovic.

     

    ....but in the end it would be Robbie for me. Imagine him on one wing and the running machine Langdon on the other.

    Would be the goat of midfield groups..

    But for that rotten little bloke on TV on Saturdays   D ickie Knees.   

    Cannot choose  the Ox or Tulip

    Beeeeeeennnneeeeeeeeeett.

    But seriously . . . 

    Carl at his peak was not far off being as good as Gawn, Greg Wells would be a super-duppa star in today's game, and as others have said, Tullip, Shwarrrrtaaaaa and Liam.

    Flower would slot in nicely on the opposite wing to Langdon. We’ve had some great ‘flashy’ players pop up here and there but longevity and consistency is key.

    Agree with the calls for the Ox and Robbie.

    im going to add Stephen Tingay. I had a massive man crush on him.

    Played in a premiership with Carlton, alas.

    Like many others who have already posted, I couldn't go past R. Flower as my choice.

    Apart from the obvious - Tulip, I think Gary Lyon often gets forgotten. He was supremely talented and a big game player. Yze was also a personal favourite.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
