yes would put Nicholson on the ground and captain. Vardy and Sean Charles were very good but injuries got the better of them. Drop those two, and include one P Hopgood as well.

Although it is probably a sign of inabilty to create a sturdy defence. Nicholson would be closer to our best side of the past 15 years then our worst.

Vardy, Charles and Holland also unfairly named here

From memory 'P.PRYMKE' had a bad back that crippled his career.

Agreed. I'd put Ellis in there instead of Nicho.

Brent Grgic called, he wants to know where the love is.

Oooooh Mercy!

Yep. Dutchy to emergency or out altogether, replaced by Grgic.

Vardy UTTERLY doesn't deserve to be there. Gave good service while healthy. If Vardy's there, Byron's headed for this team. Others are ok. Maybe Charles can be reprieved. Oh, and no Moland or Rogers? Or are we doing only players who played?

And Tooly? Great thread that has come at the best time. I've been severely let down by demonland's form of late, and you've come up with the goods. Classic.

Whoever wrote this is an fool & I don't know why some people get their kicks out of humiliating past players. Also you can't spell.

Shanahan was a top notch full back & had a great first year but then played one year too many. Holland has been a very handy footballer. Norrish was a handy player who won a B&F at Freo. Charles was a brilliant talent but was hampered by injuries & a poor attitude. Vardy was outstanding when fit. Prymke held down CHB for 2 years before being injured. Doyle & Irving were both reasonable players & Newton had his career wrecked by injury.

Fair dinkum do you actually ever go to a game because you really have no idea.

yeah, would have to agree. don't understand the point of the criticism of these players, doesn't achieve much. although i must say i still shudder at thought's of the (re)grg. and get lost neale daniher haters! sickens me, name me two victorian coaches who have been better than him in the past decade? he loves the club and we can all see it.

Really? My super side looks more like this...

B: Seecamp, Ingerson, Whelan

HB: S Febey, Rivers, Woewodin

C: Johnstone, Viney, Tingay

HF: Farmer, Schwarz, Yze

F: Lyon, Neitz, Robertson

FOLL: Stynes, Leoncelli, Rigoni

I/C: J McDonald, B Lovett, G Lovett, White

Its funny how different fans have different perceptions of the club.

that forward line is arousing! i miss ingo

I'd have mclean ahead of white! Even though he hasn't been there long. In about 5 years he will be captain of this topic!

But good idea putting the good ones!

Pretty good side.

ANthony or james mcdonald?

Any Melbourne "super side" should contain Allen Jakovich.

The guy was a freakish football talent. Unstoppable when on song.

im surprised sean wight hasnt been mentioned at full back? i was young but he seemed to do a good job for a while, considering the names mentioned in our full back list?

When did Ingerson ever play full back?

How can you leave Brett Lovett on the I/C . thats a disgrace. Robbo - I'd replace but I'm not sure who with.

the rest is fantastic. Well Done!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
