Fully agree about Alves being in the top ten. It was a dark era, but the fans went to watch him first, and then the team. So many skills, such a competitive runner - the best 'blind-turner' one could ever wish to see that produced more ground distance than our whole forward attack. Stunning kick, great speed, beautifully graceful and evasive. Almost never beaten by an opponent or the 'bash squads' that other coaches sent to him to nullify his impact.
Agree.
The centreline of Alves, Wells, Flower and Hardeman at CHB during the 1970’s were the shining lights of a difficult decade.

Good gets Big Carl. Alan Johnson would be the 2nd wingman aside from Robbie in his top 20, but I tend to think of AJ as a back pocket.
I'm surprised that Big Carl made the top 20. Whilst he certainly scared the living daylights out of the opposition, it didn't necessarily translate to wins.
Agree. Both Alan Johnson (dual B&F) and Ditterich should be in the top 100.
Big Carl won’t be in top 20 which means he has been overlooked.

Doesn't have to name another wingman in top 20. It's not a complete team but no but no doubt we will all have our go on that one.
Reckon Stretch Sylvia maybe James Mac and possibly Stephen Febey could be a bit high. Reckon T Mac might be a bit low and Lingers is not in out top 20
Reckon Lingers will stand up well in our Top5 wingers from 1972 in a couple of years.
Maysie is high snd really has only put together 2 years of great footy and hard to place in longevity compared with Stephen Smith as a longer term defender who undoubtedly was hampered by hamstring injuries for the last half of his career.
Reckon we could almost pick the next 20 players but the order???
Stynes Todd and Jack Viney Robbie Flower Jeff White Mark Jamar??? Greg Wells Gary Hardemann Gary Lyon Whiz Gawny Trac Clarry Gerard Healey
Neiter Schwarta Brett Lovett Jonesy. Brian "Wilow" Wilson.I have forgotten at least one other player probably a ruckman or midfielder.
Anyone???Ditterich
Alan Johnson

Any of the 4 goals Darren Bennett kicked in the last quarter at Windy Hill in 1991.
Garry Lyon’s snap late in the 1988 Elimination Final
Garry Lyon’s long bomb in the 1988 PreliminaryFinal

Exactly. I have far more admiration for Sydney who have played in 8 or 9 prelims over 20 years.
Agree. Now that Clarkson has gone Longmire is the best coach in the comp.

The last time Melbourne and Geelong met in a Preliminary final was 1954. The Demons won 67 to 50.
Let’s repeat that in 2021.- 1

No.
Premierships are very hard to win. For us to be in this position and not go all the way would be a waste.

1987 final round.
Carlton captain Stephen Kernahan kicks a goal in the last minute to win the match and secure top spot for Carlton. Carlton wins the flag.
Well done Maxy!!

North Hobart isnt a full sized ground. The 50m line is actually 40m and nearly overlaps the centre square.
Melbourne played Collingwood there in a preseason game in 01 or 02 and Mick Malthouse complained re: size of ground.
There is a very proud Lawn Bowl club right behind the ground that would need to make way for major changes to take place but the Lawn Bowl club has a huge history and wont be going anywhere.
Mick Malthouse complaining. What a surprise!

Who did/do you enjoy watching play footy over your time as a Demon supporter?
Here's my top 5 up to now:
1. Robert Flower (A freak)
2. Gary Hardeman (Tough,fair,consistent Big V player.Would have been a star in any team)
3. David Neitz (Nothing better than watching Neita leading out from the square ,taking another great mark and converting.)
4. Todd Viney ( Skills nothing flash , however one of the hardest ,most courageous in an under ball winners to wear the MFC jumper).
5. Aaron Davey ( Exciting player , capable of anything )
On pure talent alone:
1. Robert Flower
2. David Schwarz
3. Allen Jakovich
Others: Gary Hardeman (very under rated), David
Neitz, Garry Lyon, Travis Johnstone

Why? Surely many coaches improve in all sorts of ways, including game day coaching, as they gain experience.
Goody has made a point about being a life time learner so I can't see why he can't improve his coaching.
Saying it won’t make it happen. He won’t change.

Good to see, gets the ball so well, wish he could kick the goals more consistently.
Oh for a Goal Kicking or forward coach who can fix things. Do we have one ?
Goals win games. Why wouldn’t a previous sharpshooter who had a great kicking technique be a top priority over summer. The kicking technique of some of today’s footballers is staggering.

5 spots below Mitchell who wouldn’t get a game for us.
I’d still prefer Frosty over Tomlinson, but not crying over split milk
Tomlinson hasn’t done much to convince.

Our best coach since Norm Smith.
Perhaps MFC could get a full interview with John to discuss his years at the club.

Carlton did the same in 1995 after a straight sets exit in 1994.
