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

    Sub: Brayshaw

    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.

    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.

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
