  1. Number 9 - Neitz, Dixon, Fowler, Alan Johnson Its available with Trengoves departure. Maybe Lever will take it.
  2. You are right... I forgot to mention all the goals he kicked that year. To be honest I had forgotten he had pinch hit as a backmen, while playing forward. Thought it was the other way around. Was a superb season.
  3. Melbourne vs Adelaide 2002 Semi FInal A loss unfortunately, but an incredible game. And this, eliminating Essendrug from the finals, Stynes dominating and Jakovich kicking 8
  4. Yes that was one of my honorable mentions (which I forgot to list.)... in fact it was the first one. Great season.
  5. It was a very good year but overrated. The midfield was deep but very even, he was one part of that machine. Dont rate his season any higher than Rigoni, leoncelli or Powell. Didn't even make the AA team (and rightly so).. Averaged a very low disposal count, lowest ever for a Brownlow medal winning midfielder. Basically he stole the medal. Would easily take any of the 10 seasons I listed ahead of it.
  6. Hard exercise, I'm sure many will disagree with some selections and on those I did not include. (and no I didnt overlook Woewodins brownlow medal year, Im well aware I omitted it). 1. David Schwarz, 1994 - Led competition in marks, kicked 60 goals at CHF, dominated the first two weeks of finals. Widely regarded as the equal to Wayne Carey. And he did it in style. 2. Jim Stynes, 1991 - Brownlow medal winner with 25 votes. AA ruckman Redefined the ruck position by averaging 26 disposals, 9 marks and chipping in 15 goals. B and F. 3. Garry Lyon, 1994 - 79 goals, including 10 in a final. Went into the midfield in numerous final quarters when the team needed a lift, and he always delivered. All Australian. B and F. 4. David Neitz, 2002 - 82 goals, AA full forward and a rare Coleman Medal for the Melbourne Football Club. Became a great leader and one of the comps best enforcers and most intimidating big men. B and F. 5. Clayton Oliver, 2017 - One of the greatest seasons a teenager has ever played, culminating in a landslide victory in the Best and Fairest. Became the only Melbourne player in club history to average 30 disposals in a season. 6. Jeff Farmer, 2000 - Electrified the comp, kicking 76 goals including 9 on Queens Birthday and 8 in the Prelim FInal, helping the Dees into the granny. All Australian. 7. Garry Lyon, 1995 - ,Makes it 70+ goals in back to back seasons, and earns his third straight All Australian selection. 8. Max Gawn, 2016 - A dominant season, winding the clock back to the days of the great Jimmy Stynes. AA ruckman and polled 16 Brownlow votes. 9. Allen Jakovich, 1991 - 71 goals in 14 games, it was a record breaking season. Eight goals in the first final, vs Essendon, eliminating them. Fastest player to 50 career goals. 19 scoring shots in a single game. Possibly would have been number 1 on this list if he had played even just a few more matches. 10. David Neitz, 1995 - In just his third season, future skipper David Neitz holds down centre half back with distinction, and is named in the All Australian team.
  7. What are you talking about, heaps of people have mentioned him and hes also coming 4th in the poll. Which right now is looking like a photo finish between Jurrah, Farmer and the great man Allen Jakovich.
  8. Yes it is. A lot different.
  9. Gaz had 18 disposals, 11 marks and kicked 10.4. The most recent player to kick double figures in a final. What a duo they were.
  10. What do you mean ' a knee reco'. ..... Schwarz had three knee recos, and came back and won a B and F and played in a grand final. Schwarzs 1994 season was way better than Olivers 2017. And included a dominant finals series. You're showing a severe lack of respect to The Ox.
  11. Is anyone here saying he was a superstar? He would have been, no doubt. His 1994 season is probably the best individual season by any Demon of the last 30 years. Maybe longer. Booted 60 goals at true Centre Half forward, and led the comp in marks. Had a brilliant final series, and was as exciting as any player in the league.
  12. 1. Allen Jakovich 2. The Ox pre knee 3. Jeff Farmer 4. Liam Jurrah Daylight........................... Whoever else
  13. This is pretty silly. Sledging happens every game. Me thinks you've taken it a tad too seriously.
  14. 14-8 Meaningless, but a bit of fun
  15. Four friday night matches for St. Failure Wow.
  16. Exactly. And making September would mean more merchandise sales, more members, and a better draw financially .next season. We would do much better $$ wise. The NT games are ridiculous.
  17. Only three 6 day breaks, thank christ. We will make the top 4. Lock it in. No idea why we play West coast in Perth again though.... so much for a fair fixture.
  18. All I care about are 6 day breaks. Don't care who we play or how many times. But if we get 9 six day breaks again we are stuffed... as would be any other team that gets that.
  19. Games in Tassie are like traveling down the road to Geelong. No comparison to two trips to the northern territory, especially the extremely taxing Darwin game. Id gladly trade the NT games for a couple of Tassie ones, though id prefer we ditched this crap altogether.
  20. Wait a second. Essendon made the finals. Yet they only play only one top 6 team twice. We play two. They play two bottom 6s teams twice. We only play one. How the hell can the AFL explain this? Once again we get shafted, while they look after their beloved drug cheats yet again. The Western Bulldogs were also looked after? WHy is it that every season we get the worst fixture? PJ needs to grow some balls, although its way too late now, the fixture is done. FMD.
  21. Two more 'home games' in NT. Ridiculous. We are still not a serious football club.
  22. We have a winning streak against them at Subiaco though.
  23. Thats a great test first up. We would have beaten them earlier in the year if we didn't lose Gawn during the game. They ran over us in the end, but we had them covered until 3 quarter time. Lever vs Ablett?
