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

R Flower for mine

unlucky 
Lyon
Jakovich
THEOX
Jurrah

 

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

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
