I'm sure this has been done before, but i need to take my mind off the game on the weekend.

Who in the current AFL system is your favourite couple of players outside of the Dees?

Im not talking best/gun players just players you like to watch!

For me its :  Errol Gulden and Dan Houston 

Both classy players that look smooth with ball in hand.

 
 

Waterman in full flight is pretty good to watch - don’t ask how I know 😳

In no particular order;

Errol Gulden for his smooth moving and deadly left foot

Zac Butters for his kamikaze style and his relentless effort

Jesse Hogan for his athletic ability and pack marking

Josh Kelly same as Gulden

Tom Green for being a beast 

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera for aesthetics with ball in hand - as pure as it gets

I generally don’t watch much footy other than Melbourne games each week but will have a quick look if any of those guys are playing

Dan Houston also looks real smooth with wineglass in hand.

I don’t have any favourite players from any other club. 


Jesse Hogan from the giants for his nature and just love to see him in a good place again mentally 

Sam Docherty from the blues for his courage and bravery 

Changkuoth Jiath from the hawks for his wild running at pace 

And that’s about it. Dont give a care for any of the rest !!! 

Love watching Bontempelli play.
(not against us though)

Most of my ‘favourites’ from other clubs have retired; I find it a lot easier to appreciate opposition players when they are close to the end.

 

Hogan, JJ, Bedford, Harmes ......there is a theme happening here

Jayden Hunt next name on the list hopefully. 

Mitchito Owens

Darcy Moore, Sam Taylor, Isaac Quaynor and Keidean Coleman for me (can you tell I used to play backline?)

The ex-Demons JH club: Jayden Hunt, James Harmes and Jesse Hogan. But NOT Jeremy Howe. Boo!


For me it is    Hayden Young  Love his skills and desire to win ( We could have had him but went for Jackson instead for, as we know, just 3 years.  Young, being a Victorian, would have give us probably 14 years,)

The other to me is an obvious choice, Marcus Bontempelli. Would be very useful for us right now. Great player and person.

Josh Kennedy (WCE).  

Nick Daicos  Steele Sidebottom and Pendles all come to mind

    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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
