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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
