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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
