Bring Back One Player

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.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
