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

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
