Liam Jurrah is top of the what might have been list for sure.

I wonder how Colin Sylvia would have gone in todays team. I think the better environment and culture might have helped him realise his full potential. He was super talented. Played similarly to Trac although not sure if he could have reached Trac’s level.

    Too young to remember Flower so I'd have to say him just so I could see him play.  Judging by the regard to which he is held in this forum I'd love to see him run around.

    In my time, Schwartz in, T. McDonald out sorry Tom.

    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...)

    Healy these days seems to have no time for the Mighty Demons...... as for Scully, he did us big time...

    Tingay.

    I think he payed with Todd but he would probably do an even better 1 - 2 combination with Jack.

    Opposition wouldn't want to get the footy knowing one of them is going to crunch them.

    Not sure you're correct here.

    Healy helped us get Roos over the line originally, has talked up our players, stood up for Goody with all the stuff going on lately, and has made appearances on fan podcasts and the like.

    I think often people like Healy and Lyon get misunderstood by supporters because they try to be fair and balanced in their media roles.

    The Ox at CHF is the standout to me. 
     

    But for one that hasn’t been mentioned we rarely got to see the best of Col Sylvia RIP. Have him play forward and swap on ball with Tracc, he’d be good for 20 touches and 2 goals easily.

    Stan Alves was like that also when at the ABC.. As for Healy...  I would not give him the time of day now.. As you say, Scully used us as did his Father all to get away from a Club he never wanted to play for..  Total scum...

    If only Col had the buy in of Oliver and Petracca. He obviously didn't have the same support as they do.

    RIP Col

    If Jimmy Stynes was to play, whose spot would he take?  Surely neither of Gawn or Jackson.

    If Jackson becomes the equal of Stynes we have a champion.

    Can’t possibly nominate just one

    Liam Jurrah or Alan Jakovich

    Both absolutely mesmerising for opposition defenders whilst for us fans, utterly unforgettable when they turned it on ( which was just about every week)

    Robbie Flower without hesitation.
    The hype was real kids.

    Flower. Easily.

    Flower just seems so over rated. Yes he was a great player but time and then his death has people over rating him. He was good but he played in a [censored] team so stood out . He’d have no chance today

    Your right that is their role or should be.

    but far more interested in how big their back pocket can become. Most look after No 1. 
    and if you have [censored] the club off once, 

    Good effin Bye

    Sometimes I read a post and forget about trolls. Anyone that has watched football and seen Flower play understands his standing in the game. You are no doubt trolling or a fool.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
