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.

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...

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
