Best Player

[Chook 14,608]

In light of Jeff White being named Melbourne's only representative in the Victoria/All-Stars game, and to counteract all the negativity going around in these forums, I'd like to ask who on our list:

A. Has been Melbourne's best player.

B. Is currently our best.

C. Has the potential to be our best.

David Neitz, Jared Rivers and Cale Morton, for mine. Thoughts?

Yes - no argument here - although Morton needs to work on his body in a big big way to reach his obvious potential.

[rpfc 27,630]

Although, looking at Mitch Morton at Richmond, Morton (and the club) should be aiming for a KP.

Hopefully, CHF.

That's putting a lot on the kid but it is exciting.

And despite the doomsayers there are some things at the Demons to be excited about.

Cue the bitter oneliners...

Cue the bitter oneliners...

Ugh . . . God. That's one thing we don't need more of.

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

A. David Neitz

B. Jared Rivers / Brad Green

C. Cale Morton

[Adzman 2,085]

A. Jim Stynes (sorry Barrass)

B. Nathan Jones ( I am willing to wear the punches for this one. I rate him because he gives so much when he is on the ground)

C. Easy, Cale Morton has showed more than any of the past 3 years draft picks. And he is only a rake with 4 games under is his belt, give him 10 KGS and 50 games and he should be something special.

Nice to get some positive vibes back in the place!

A. David Neitz, by the length of Flemington straight

B. Cale Morton

C. Cale Morton

[Mojo 0]

A: David Neitz

B: Jones (for his work rate no one really outstanding so far)

C: half the team if they played to their full potential

[kieranbj 111]

A: David Neitz

B: Jones (for his work rate no one really outstanding so far)

C: half the team if they played to their full potential

Neitz from White and Yze

Rivers from McLean and Davey

Morton from Jones and Dunn

And Garry Lyon is the best i've watched with Stynes and Neitz just behind

[Jarka 767]

Of the current list:

A: Toss up between Neitz and White. I'll give it to white by a whisker.

B: This won't be popular and I've definitely changed my mind but McLean has been our hardest working and best player so far. Definitely underrated by alot of poeple with what he's done, myself included.

C: Morton, easily

[gOLLy 401]

A. Robbie Flower

B. Wheatley

C. Morton

[Real Demon 232]

1. Neitz - An absolute champion!

2. Bruce

3. Sylvia - I rate this bloke (even though many don't!) and reckon he has the biggest upside of any player on our list. Morton - too early to say, though he does look good!

Agree entirely on Current List

A. NEITZ

B. Rivers

C. Morton

Best Player seen in my lifetime in Red & Blue : ROBERT FLOWER with GARRY LYON not far behind

Biggest excitement machine : ALLEN JAKOVICH

CALE MORTON looks like Robbie Flower in the making again to me

Good Positve Thread

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

A. G.Lyon/ D.Neitz can't split em love em both.

B. Currently on form Wheatley. Best player on list J. Rivers.

C. Morton . Also think L.Dunn has massive potential. Would like to see both get loads of game time this season.

Biggest excitement machine: J.Farmer / A.Jakovich + Shaun Smith had some unbelievable trouser-tent raising moments

Good thread Chook. I think you got the trifecta.

Going back, the best I've seen would be Flower, followed by Schwartz pre-knee. Then you're looking at Alves, Wells, Lyon & Jakovich.

[1.21 GigaWatts 1]

First of all, congrats to White (though I think the set-up of this Vic Vs. All Stars comp will be crushing to the Vic team).

Greatest player I've seen in red and blue - Tie between Stynes and Jackovich

Best on the list - Rivers for me, easily.

Potential - Morton definitley looks the goods, like the work of Wonna though. I thought about saying McLean, his potential is always on display, now I wanna see his potential for handling a tag.

i concur........

Still think Sylvia could turn the corner but Morton looks the goods....

[Damo 3,016]

I hope I’m not interpreting incorrectly but i think the three categories Chook was suggesting were all to be made up of players on our current list

1. Of all the players on our list who HAS been the best player

2. Who is our best player (would suggest this would go beyond purely 2008 form

3. Well it seems people have got this one right

Perhaps to avoid confusion we should add a fourth

4. Best player you've seen at the MFC.

Sorry to nit pick its just I liked the topic and would love to people’s response to Chooks categories.

You're absolutely right about what my intentions were, and it seems that a fourth topic would be good. Anyway, a lot of people have put in their two cents about our past players as well, so I guess I will too. Because I'm only 18, I haven't seen anywhere near as much footy as a lot of guys on this board, but I always liked Jim Stynes and Adem Yze when I was growing up. Plus, I always had a pretty good chance of seeing them play week in, week out.

1 Neitz - 300 games is testament to anyone. Hope he hasnt overstayed!!!

2 Rivers - Knits the backline together with Whelan and Carroll. God knows the ball's down there enough.

3 Jones - Now Trav's gone, this bloke has the potential to be a superstar

4 Schwarz - Was watching some stuff on TheoX the other day. He was better than Royce Hart at CHF. But you cant go past Robert Flower

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

1. White nudging Neitz.

2. Rivers nudging PJ

3. Morton

4. Flower by a mile.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

4 Schwarz - Was watching some stuff on TheoX the other day. He was better than Royce Hart at CHF. But you cant go past Robert Flower

Did you ever see Hart play? Its a big call

I agree with you about Flower.

[sylvinator 96]

i love rivers and rate him, but if he's our current best player then that shows how farked we are.

basically didn't play last year, and has had 2 warm up games at afl level this season.

get serious guyz
