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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
