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.

 

 

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.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
