I agree i think it might last a few players in a row but then it changes all of a sudden.

But in saying that look at 27 Rivers, Ingerson, Sean White.

Also is there anytking online there must be.

Just every now and then a singular post brings a far away look and a desire to open a better red than that already picked out.

Max Walker 46

He only wore it for one season... hence..

DemonStorm
I really liked Matty Collins, but realistically does he deserve to be in the same company as those above?

Nicho is best remembered for number 8, my personal favourite in 44 was one John Fidge... but see above.

Big Carl whilst good, I only consider a part time Demon.

Franky

Jacka was hard to leave out, the colour the flair, but alas too brief.... "It's better to burn out than fade away!" I'll take your word on the red, I'm pretty uncouth... but I do enjoy Taswegian beer.

Well done Graz.

And good choice Franky on the drop.

I would have thought the following would have qualified:

22: Shane McGrath in the 40s must have been close to 3 flags 40,41 and 48

23: R Wartman classy midfielder with 3 flags 1939-41

24: Its Tiger's but Percy Beames can feel stiff to miss

26: Ian Thorogood had good claims with 3 to 4 flags

However when you look through the names (and take another sip of red) you realise that since the late 60s we have churned some real crud through the list with too few quality players amongst them.

We have all players entered into our database at Demonology.

You can view them by Guernsey Numbers, Heritage Number, Surname, Year Played and so on.

Re - 16

Travis Johnstone > Andy Lovell

I would put John Townsend ahead of both. TJ has been a chronic underachiever over 10 years at MFC.

The Number 16 has not been a number at MFC with a roll call of greats.

9. Alan Johnson deserves to be in this company.

22. Chris Connolly.

Alan Johnson and Laurie Fowler as well (Won 3 or 4 Blueys)

Adrian Battiston, absolutely loved him.

Big Bob Johnson will do me, and his dad (also #16) was a topliner as well - 302 goals in 113 games from CHF, including 6 in a winning GF.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    VOTES: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Magpies. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
