Universal Love Who is the best player who has played for the Melbourne Football Club since and including 2000? WINNER: Max Gawn

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I absolutely love Hibbo – one of my favourites. I'd argue his only 'elite' offensive season with us was 2017 when he made AA. He averaged 27 touches that year, whereas for the rest of his career with us, he only averaged about 15.

Obviously disposals aren't the be all and end all, but I'd say he started off as an elite offensive player, but certainly became much more of a defensive player as time went on.

His 2017 year probably eclipsed any of McDonald's seasons, but I think Junior was probably more consistent for longer.

Still, tough one!

Talking about how good his disposal was mate, I dont give a shit how often you get it if youre an average kick (which McDonald was), you should know this by now.

Talking about how good his disposal was mate, I dont give a s**t how often you get it if youre an average kick (which McDonald was), you should know this by now.

Hahaha, I know.

I just think that from 2018/19 onwards, Hibbo wasn't really an elite rebounder as he didn't get his hands on the footy enough to have a huge offensive impact. Absolutely elite defensively, though.

Perhaps I'm being too picky.

 

[Toump Ass]

Was unmitigated joy watching Hibbo annihilate some shithead opposition player.

My favourite was him destroying Dustin Martin in I think in 2021? Martin was absent for a long time afterwards, not from injury I reckon he was just ashamed to show his face.

Junior gets a bit of a breakaway.

P.S. Did you know that Headless actually tried registering for the anonymous online text-based football discussion forum bigfooty.com under the username "Junior", but it was TAKEN?

The Hibbo vote obviously showing off all the alt accounts

That's sad

I tried registering an alt with the name "The Love Schache" which I was really excited about. I had the profile pic sorted and errything (see below), was gonna only speak in b-52 language ("funky little schache!!") but it got rejected, throwaway email "therealjoshschache@whatever.com" musta given the game away.

I can't remember what my first attempts at user names were, I had heaps rejected. A sign of things to come I guess.

 

[Simon_Says]

Junior.
But only just.

He was my first Love, even so far to have met and at 15Years old kick to kick with an all time melb hero of mine had me pretty buzzed before First period.

Finally, an easier one. Green pretty comfortably.

 

[Bluelegs]

Just realised I missed yesterday's votes. Kind of glad as there was no way I could have picked between Farmer and White. My two favourite players as a kid.

 

[Scythe94]

Still mad about Green's AA snub in 2010. 20 touches a game and 55 goals was pretty absurd for that era of footy.

 

[Topkent]

This one's easy. Levers been actually underwhelming overall imo

 

[Bluelegs]

Still mad about Green's AA snub in 2010. 20 touches a game and 55 goals was pretty absurd for that era of footy.

Then the following year his form fell apart and got named sub as a captain, earning the nickname 'Brad Greenvest'

 

[Scythe94]

Still one of my favourite footy memories

 

[Young Redleg]

I'd say that Green's 2010 was better than Lever's 2021. He should've been in the AA team over Jamar that year imo.

Generous of Headless to award cash prizes to the winners

but Jake married his teacher and I think that trumps an AA snub.

in this team. One of the sweetest set shots you'll see. Definitely could have used peak Green in the finals. There's a goal he kicked against Carlton to seal the game was a beauty, think it may have been the last game at optus oval.
