    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
