Best Import side since the late 1960's.

During a bout of insomnia I formulated a side which incorporated a Melbourne side composed solely on Imports:

Backs: Fowler      May    Ingerson

Half Backs: Icke     Lever    Rohde

Centers: Langdon   Wilson   Bizzell

Half Forwards:  Vardy  Moore   Crosswell

Forwards: Pickett, Brown  Shaun. Smith

Rucks: White Vince, Coles

Bench: Clarkson, Gary Baker, Wayne Gordon ( the Best and Fairest winner the year before he died,) Jarrott, Templeton

Emergencies: Cross, Seekamp, Holland, 

I had to fit three ruckmen into side - Brownlow Moore, Baker and White and Moore played a season or so at Collingwood as a Forward.

Ben Brown or Templeton:?Brown because he played in a Premiership side.

    I'm nominating Diamond Jim for half-back flank. I thought he played well in that position. On a serious note, Alan Johnson and Todd Viney should definitely be there.

    By Imports, I mean players from other AFL clubs.

    Don't think Wayne Gordon won a B&F.

    Baker certainly did.

    You are absolutely correct: he came 3rd in 1980: apologies...

    Can Brett Lovett get a spot ? Started his career with Hawthorn U/19s I believe.  Might have played in their Magoos as well before coming to the Demons

    Think Jeff Farmer can also be classified as an import with Freo trading their rights to Farmer for Phil Gilbert.

    I wondered that as well. He played over 60 games in Hawthorn Reserves. If that was counted, he'd be the first picked. Then there's Ricky Jackson...

    Then again, I based the side on players who 'played' for other AFL sides in the Firsts...

    Farmer would make my side of Fabulous Melbourne exports...Scully would not be considered for selection...

    Also, I forgot about Stephen Powell....And my biggest blunder: Carl Ditterich

    i would've thought a player could only be considered an 'import' if they played a senior game with another club

    That's what I thought and meant.

    Handy side, I like it.

    I'd go with Brown too. Tough one though because both of them had bad knees when they got to Melb.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
