Hello, friends. I've spent the last several months meticulously analysing the vibe of this board, and I've concluded that there's something missing. Something big. Something exciting.

Something like a re-draft game of Melbourne Football Club players from the years 1990-2020 inclusive.

In fact, something exactly like that.

I ran something a bit similar in 2015: MFC History Draft (you can also find subsequent voting here). I'm thinking it could be neat to do something similar, but only with players who debuted for the club between 1990 and 2020 inclusive - which I think totals 259 players. Maybe we could have eight teams of 22 (176 players total) in a snake format draft, considering the below:

THE DANIEL CROSS RULE
Players are only considered on their contributions to Melbourne - so only 39 of Cross' 249 games would be considered.

THE LONGEVITY RULE
Within reason, longevity won't really be considered - so we're considering players at their best for Melbourne.

THE LIAM JURRAH RULE
We take longevity into account, so we consider Jurrah's 36 games and 81 goals on their merits, but we also consider that he only played the equivalent of 1.5 seasons for the club.

I'm sure more rules or whatever can be fleshed out. Anybody interested? I really enjoyed the history draft and think a lot of people would enjoy this one, too!

I'll get around this, although my knowledge of pre-1999 players is very thin.
My selections will likely be based on people I like without knowing entirely why so I reckon you can get by

I'm in. How do you determine the winner?

Public poll after the draft! Or I just set up some sort of elaborate voting system that inevitably results in my own team winning - for obvious reasons. 🥳

The public are certain to respond to my Rohan Bail and OMac selections positively so I probably have this in the bag.
 
Hello, friends. I've spent the last several months meticulously analysing the vibe of this board, and I've concluded that there's something missing. Something big. Something exciting.

Something like a re-draft game of Melbourne Football Club players from the years 1990-2020 inclusive.

In fact, something exactly like that.

I ran something a bit similar in 2015: MFC History Draft (you can also find subsequent voting here). I'm thinking it could be neat to do something similar, but only with players who debuted for the club between 1990 and 2020 inclusive - which I think totals 259 players. Maybe we could have eight teams of 22 (176 players total) in a snake format draft, considering the below:

THE DANIEL CROSS RULE
Players are only considered on their contributions to Melbourne - so only 39 of Cross' 249 games would be considered.

THE LIAM JURRAH RULE
We take longevity into account, so we consider Jurrah's 36 games and 81 goals on their merits, but we also consider that he only played the equivalent of 1.5 seasons for the club.

I'm sure more rules or whatever can be fleshed out. Anybody interested? I really enjoyed the history draft and think a lot of people would enjoy this one, too!
So how do you compare say Jurrah or Jackovich to Garland or Rigoni?
 
Who's the shittest 100 odd game player we had who wasn't cult hero?
Bate?
I sort of liked him too, but one person probably doesn’t represent cult following. I like him more now that he has retired and become somewhat odd

Good question. I guess public discretion based on the caveats that we're considering both proficiency and longevity, but happy to take other suggestions - it's all a bit subjective.
