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.

    At least it solves our KPF woes. I reckon this team would give the Lions, Hawks and Tiger dynasties a run for their money.

    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

    Howe is so far behind Nev Jetta.

    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

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
