Hard Call.
Ever; As a young bloke who just missed the glory years the players that keep me a life long Dee were; Ray Biffin, never took a backward step and I loved his games against Peter McKenna over the years. Same with Matthew Whelan, and what got me very excited was the centre line of Wells, Alves & Flower. Never forget the goal Alves kicked from the wing at Windy Hill just before half time , it set us up to win , which was the first and only time I had ever seen us beat Essendon out there.
Current ; May (see Biffin) and Petracca, Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw are starting to give me the same enjoyment.
Loved watching Stynes Lyon and Jako.

I take My hat off to however in the marketing department is getting these sponsors in this climate at the MFC. Great job !!
Great effort this from the partnership team. They have been working on this since before the season started, so to get 78 Degrees, onboard after a messy start to an unpredictable season is a credit to them all. I hope the onfield team can now do the right thing and get a win over the Tiggers this weekend so we can enjoy some of the new sponsors product!

If Harley plays in the Rd6 game against the Dockers at Metricon Stadium, would that be the first time a player has played , his first game in his new colours against his old Club at his original Draft Club's Home Ground? Thoughts?

With the recent additions of players like Langdon, Tomlinson, May, Hibberd & Melksham, I was thinking about our best (top 10) traded in or recycled players. Here’s a quick top 10 but in no order.
Brett Lovett
Jeff Farmer
Brian Wilson
Jeff White
Peter Moore
Laurie Fowler
Garry Baker
Peter Rohde
Darren Bennett
Carl Ditterich
My apologies to Stephen Icke, Alan Jarrett, Clint Bizzell, Guy Rigoni, Bernie Vince & Brent Moloney.
My eligibility was min 50 games and I can only cover from 1973 onwards.
From an early post worth putting back up for this topic. Best recycled players that had to have played at least one game for another VFL/AFL team before being traded to the Dees since our last Premiership.

Robert Walters. Played about 25 games for the Dees in the late 70s and early 80s.
We had been belted by 190 points to the Lions in late season 1979 at VFL Park. It was as dark a day as I can remember. I sat through it and was gutted after the game for hours if not days. Then in round 2, we played the Lions again at VFL park. Walters has shown ability as a 6ft tall opportunist full forward. Walters kicked 7 goals as we upset the Lions by a few goals. I think they almost were going to carry him off the ground. I think he was injured shortly thereafter in the season and then always was injured again with a variety of problems.

Sack the goal kicking coach. F$&king hopeless. ?

Obviously the West Australian media have told us that their is a COVIT-19 in the Weagles because no one is picking up their man up. F$&k me we are useless and HeLy is a [censored]!

IMO we have made a mistake in selecting Spargo, Pickett and Bedford together in this team. I don't think any of the three can rotate effectively to play on the ball. We will be down in Midfield rotations and WC will exploit this.
I think we are at least one, maybe two rotations short in the midfield with this team. if we cannot win the ball in the middle or force turnovers we have no use for a quick, small fleet of forwards as the ball will not get in there.
I would have taken Wiedeman over Brown.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out ,as they have been doing closed training sessions for the late two + weeks. Would suggest that the coaches have a plan which no one on this site will know. I am going to just sit back and try and enjoy the games as much as possible. GO DEES

So the real positives for me were the return to good form of:
Viney
Spargo
Freitch
Melksham
May
Oscar - I actually thought he looked like he belonged again tonight
ANB in patches
Hibbard late in the game
Brayshaw was quite serviceable and did a few nice things
Bedford showed he's on the pace
Continued good form from:
Lochart
Tomlinson
Langdon
Was a bit disappointed with:
Trac didn't dominate, but better to save that for Rd 1
Clarry was average, but has a few credits up his sheave and did a few nice things
Jones didn't play a full game. I assume he is being managed for the season ahead, due to old age, but did some nice stuff when on the ground and suggested again he could make an important contribution this season.
Injuries to Weid and AVB
Commentators talked up Lever a fair bit, but I thought he was just ok, but conversely good to get through another game
T Mac's almost non existent presence was one of the more disappointing things of the night to me, but then I do also wounder if they had him playing a slightly different role, with Freitch and Melksham playing deep and being the main focal points.
Overall, I thought we lacked a bit of system and skills at times, but the wind did seem quite tricky and for a team in the Hawks that I think many commentators would have ahead of us, I thought we made them look pretty ordinary and were not really threatened by them for most of the game. For the most part though, I thought we looked pretty well in control of the game, which had not often been the case against Hawthorn for the past few years. The game did look a little like the intensity wasn't quite there at times, like both teams really did hold back a little more in reserve than if there was points on the line.
So I was unable to watch the game due to NBN outage, but I was concerned that Patton might kick a bag against us. Who was on him? If it was May then this is why we got him, to look after the big gorilla forwards.

Always amazed at how players look better in our jumper
He looked good and fitted right in with the other members of the team today at the Team Photo shoot. Well done to the FD.

Its a shame that we only sorted ourselves out the very season Robbie Flower finished up.
Had he been a few years younger we would have won a flag or two between 88-90.
Don’t think a younger Robbie Flower would have helped us in 88 the Dawks were just to big to strong and to good plus well coached. It’s 1994 for me that was our time.

In a breakout year Oscar McDonald voted best backman of the year earning a spot in the All Australian Team 2020
Agree but even more important , I would like to see the FD getting someone from the Umpiring Department of the AFL down to training to teach our back men how they interpret the rules so we stop getting pinged for free kicks.

Mate, you'd be surprised what I'm privy to. The sad fact is that we're severely underperforming off-field, culture has taken a downward turn under Pert, and the excuses of under-resourcing due to budget-cutting won't wash as the same issues were present last year.
The place needs more good people and operators, and to stop making amateurish decisions.
So who are these company's that you know the club are missing out on. Sounds like you are are well connected person so lets see what you got. Also what the assets that the club are not over-commercialising? Your comments of me not knowing what you are privy to is just keyboard hero stuff. What I am saying as a fact is that in the current economic environment, Sh#t 2019, reduced free to air coverage, this current Partnership team "NOT PERT" is doing a very good job.

Not a fan of this as a preseason promo. Its the old "Actions speak louder then words" for me so lets see how they come up after the the first three rounds.

Are they? I think they have been a big disappointment and underachiever. Very little value added for sponsors or clever leveraging of club assets. Stability a massive issue too.
This is one area the club could greatly improve on and desperately needs to.
Worrying about over-commercialising our assets is idiocy. Not sure what they think we’re protecting; all we’re doing is stopping ourselves from being successful off-field.
So you feel that there are a number of companies out there that are willing to part with 6 figures or higher to a club that finished seconded bottom? and what assets do you see that the club is holding back on? It looks easy when you are sitting behind a keyboard.

Agree and not bad for a club that finished 2nd last in 19. To obtain New Era and keep the others is a great thing for the club.
Yes agree the Partnership Team is doing a great job given the on field performances and the negative social media some of our so called supporters post last season.

I doubt anyone will object if we remove Alistair Clarkson from the team...and make him non-playing coach instead.
Sorry he wouldn't qualify under "have to have coached at least 1 senior game with another VFL/AFL club before coming to Melbourne" There is only one coach that meets this , anyone want to guess who???

Alan Jarrott in for Bizzell.
Good point ProperDee, 99 solid games for the Dees. He was mentioned when this list was been formed but I think the red wine kicked in and he some how got left off. OP might need to review this one.
-
Why do we as supporters and members keep talking about recent past players so much? Aren't they part of the problem that has added to the poor culture that we keep hearing about?
Surely we need to look at the current players worth keeping and getting the right new ones into the club and start breading a successful culture into our footy department which they the players, coaches and support staff can say they did. I read with interest that the Tigers after their bad loses ( including to us) sat down as a group and had some real home truths aired.
That is what We should be taking about and wanting not if MC or LJ will ever play for Melbourne or an another AFL Club.

If they sold 90 to 100 cars this season to Dees supporters alone at an average price of $100k+ea. Not a bad return on the sponsorship. Add the media exposure/coverage based on us playing in all the finals, winning the GF after 57years which saw the news story go global, I think they would be very happy to get back on board.
