Robbie.

Would love to see him hold up the cup.

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

Ooft.

 

 

The Wiz. 


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.

David Shwartz (circa last half of 1994 season, before the knee injuries)

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

 

(I assume it should really be limited to living people )

 

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 

Flower.

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.

Greg Wells

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.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
