Was going to say Chris Heffernan and Gary Moorcroft, but they're premiership players.

 

ROBERT ALAN FLOWER......

DAYLIGHT AND..... THERE IS NO ONE ELSE🤩

I've already gone with Robbie...

...but I'm imagining Gary Hardeman in that defence off a back flank.

Would be extremely fit in today's game and have a highlight package up with or even better than Howe.

A lot of his big grabs were never caught on camera, but I remember one of the greatest grabs he took at the 'G'...up on the pack and lying on it when the mark stuck.

edit: think of the one Ablett dropped but got paid it, well Hardeman didn't drop it....

This is a hard one.

Whelan would slot nicely into that backline.

Neitz in his prime would also be tasty.

Yze would own the opposite wing to langdon as well as fit in anywhere as needed.

Think I have to go with Yze for the modern game.

The can’t have won a flag criteria may count Ronald Dale out of this discussion, particularly as he has 10. Isn’t having ten premierships to your name just extraordinary. Mind blowing really

Gerard Healy, Scully and Scott Thompson then play them at Casey.

(Turns out the flag didn't do as much for forgiveness as I thought...)

Jimmy Stynes as much for his off field stuff as much as his on field stuff. 

 

As much as i loved Schwartz or Jakovich in their prime, or any number of others, it’s impossible not to pick Robbie. Best I’ve ever seen play …from any club. 

Flower, just so I could see him live and judge for myself. Second, and it is close, would be Jurrah.


I'm a big believer that had both Jeff Farmer and Scott Thompson stayed I think we could have gotten close to a flag in the 2004-2006 period.

Farmer was still playing some really good footy and 2006 he was still able to kick 55 goals. His best form was obviously with Melbourne, and I truly think he would have played better footy had he stayed at Melbourne. 

When Thompson joined Adelaide in 2005 he had a break out injury free year and kicking 27 goals as a midfielder/forward. He had just as good of a year in 2006 as well from a statistic point of view.

Flower.

Flower was consistently brilliant in State games , esp with the talent around him (which only amplified his class)

So Imagine how good he would be in this 2021 Flag side.  Pencil him in for the Norm Smith.

Many on here refer to how "...good so and so would be oppsoite Ed Langdons wing...". (esp Robbie F)

We have the Robbie Flower wing (MCC side) at the G, but at games we now talk about the Ed Langdon wing (AFL Stand side).

He's made it his own, and as he's admitted as he doesn't come off during games he doesn't need to play on the side closer to the bench.  Good for efficiency of team rotations too.

This thread needs to be modified. It's too easy at the moment. It needs to be more challenging as befits our standing as current Premier. I'd like to see people nominate who they'd bring back PLUS whose spot they take in the Premiership 22 (ie, ignore the sub). And try to be objective - that is, imagine you're picking the team before the Grand Final so it's not based on how players performed in the GF.

For me Flower is the additional player. (No hesitation there). That would mean one of Brayshaw or Langdon need to be moved. I think Brayshaw takes Sparrow's or Hibberd's spot. Probably Hibberd's, given he's successfully played half-back before.

Excellent suggestion, and execllent move for Gus to Half back.

                           Centreline:                  Flower    -    Oliver/Petracca     -    Langdon.   Wow!

Got hung out to dry and needed a body but Morton could have been a decent player. 

We were just a rabble at the time

R Flower for mine

Lyon
Jakovich
THEOX
Jurrah

 

Greg Parke for me replacing TMac. How i loved those crouching springing hangers.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
