Russell Robertson must have written the article. 

To have him in front of Koz is a joke. But who cares really its just a digital click bait [censored] burger.

Not bad, but a few changes I would make would be TMac over Howe, JMac over Rivers and maybe Johnstone over Salem.

Hogan would also go close to dislodging Schwartz if this is considered to be post 2000 Schwartz. I imagine JVR will take that spot in a few years time anyway.

I think I’d go with:

Jetta          May        Lever

Hibberd     J Rivers  T Rivers

Langdon     Oliver       Yze 

Green.        Schwarz.   Fritsch 

Farmer.       Neitz.         Robertson 

Gawn.         Petracca.     Jones

White.         Viney.          Davey

J McDonald

The small back pocket has to go to either Jetta or Whelan.

Davey in for sure.

Not sure post knee Ox or Robbo or Courageous Cam make it.

Junior McD should be in & surely Pickett has done enough.

Did Aaron Davey ever play a single game in the backline?  Odd selection for back pocket.

Played a while as one of the original “quarterback” accumulators. Got loads of the ball and used it well in a time where it mattered little. More half back than pocket, and a weapon anywhere on the field. Has all Australian vibes where you just have to shoehorn the stars in though.

Jeremy Howe?     Get fckued

What a load of garbage that is.   The bloke should never be associated with our club with the amount of digs he has given us over the years and his football is no way good enough to make this side

Schwarz shouldn't be in the side.  59 games and 61 goals in the 2000s doesn't cut it.

Rivers hasn't done enough.

Howe ?  Defintely no.  He failed as a forward and was OK down back, but not enough to be in the best defence in the last 25 years.

It's harder to say who should replace them, but unquestionably James McDonald makes the team.

Yep me too. Particularly when were 90 odd points down and then he would kick a couple of cheapies at the end to only lose by 80 or maybe even high 70's.

Seems like a ripper guy and he definitely had some magic but on the balance of output, offensively and most definitely defensively he isnt even close to Kozzie. 

Anyone that can't see that doesnt deserve to see.

Not sure about the following:

- Howe’s best B&F finish was just 6th and spent the entire 2015 season sooking it up at P Roos for playing him as a defender.

- Schwarz didn’t even give us 3 completed season in the 2000’s. He was more of the 90’s side.

- Rivers might be a touch premature. However he’s given us some great service so far with a 50 odd consecutive streak of games.

You're off the mark here.

Robertson kicked over 40 goals in a season six times.  He also kicked 73 goals in a season.

He won a best & fairest.

He kicked 7 goals in a Queen's Birthday match and 7 goals on Matthew Scarlett in a stunning win at Kardinia Park.

And he should be marked down for his glorified karaoke career.

What were the parameters for this team? Schwartz was a superstar at best but pre-2000s. Howe, and arguably Hogan, have been high class but moreso at other clubs. Jordan Lewis' career was very good too, but 95% of his reputation comes from deeds elsewhere.

Just performances at 21st MFC vs players who were in the team this century would be two different matters

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
