Who of the current crop would replace some of these legends in effectively the MFC Best of all time 22? And possibly who will?

** Thanks Demonwiki

B John Beckwith Tassie Johnson Don Cordner
HB Noel McMahen Gary Hardeman Don Williams
C Brian Dixon Allan La Fontaine Robert Flower (vc)
HF Hassa Mann Ivor Warne-Smith Garry Lyon
F Jack Mueller Norm Smith Percy Beames
R Denis Cordner Ron Barassi (c) Stuart Spencer
I Frank Adams Bert Chadwick Wally Lock
  Laurie Mithen Jim Stynes Todd Viney
EM Stan Alves Robert B Johnson
  Ian Ridley Greg Wells
Coach Norm Smith

 

I would think theres a place currently for Max, Trac, Clayton, May and futures market is Kozzie.

    Do you mean just current players, or those who have played since the team was made. I think Neitz would be an inclusion for the latter criteria.  Currently only Gawn and Oliver for me. I think Trac can get there but needs a few more star seasons yet to be elevated to this company.

    It is rather hard to make a judgement on players I have never see but...

    Max, Trac and Clarrie are ins for me...outs would be Big Bob, ridley and wells

    And I note Neitz is not included so he replaces N Smith as a player

    Max challenges Cordner...

    I reckon you need to have at least 10 years service before being eligible

    No...I wouldn't think so.

    Smith was a gun, his coaching deeds overshadow those as a player but he could play.

    Wow what a team, we need a couple more flags before I would replace the 22 but would slot Clayton, Max and Christian and Neita into the Emegencies.

    On second thoughts I think that Max would push Jimma to emergency and Clayton would push Todd down to emergency status as well and Tracc isn’t far off.

    That would eliminate Spencer (7 years, 122 games), Warne-Smith (9/138), Chadwick (9/141), Ridley (9/130 - 5 flags!!) and Mithen (9/153). Fwiw, I think Clarrie’s already there, and is one of our all-time greats, Trac not far behind. Together with Max we are blessed to be able to enjoy 3 of our best-ever stars playing together in our current team.
    And from what I’ve read and heard I wouldn’t be dropping Spencer, Mithen and IWS from our rolling Team of the Century.

    I'm a big fan of the Viney clan but Todd sticks out like a sore thumb in that team.

    A very good player, for sure, but only had a few seasons where he could be considered truly elite.

    Was a butcher with the ball for most of his career.

    Max and Clarence are obvious inclusions (goodbye Stynes and Viney) and Trac certainly gets a gig in the emergencies (replacing Wells or Alves), if not yet the final 22.

    Fair point, maybe 100 games then.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
