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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
