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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • 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?
