It always interested me to see who we all rate from MFC. Usually we can all acknowledge the good players, the kids with potential and the over-rated but when it comes to putting them into a order from best to worse there will always be diffrences in opinion... I thought i would give it another go spliting into 6 different groups; Rucks, KPP, midfielders, small forwards & small defenders/running players.

when creating my rankings i based the order on ability and potential. If you are an older player nearing the end of your career, you would be relegated in prefrence to young potential.

Rucks:

Paul Johnson

Mark Jamar

Jeff White *

Jake Spencer #

John Messen

KPP (Forwards): (190cm +)

Cale Morton

Matthew Bate

Brad Miller

Michael Newton

Trent Zomer #

Ben Holland *

KPP (Defenders) (190cm +)

Jared Rivers

Colin Garland

Stefan Martin

Matthew Warnock

James Frawley

Nathan Carroll

Tom McNamara

Midfielders:

Brock McLean

Brad Green

Simon Buckley

Nathan Jones

Cameron Bruce

Brent Maloney

James McDonald

Shane Valenti #

Jack Grimes

Lynden Dunn

Kyle Cheaney

Clint Bartram

Small Forwards:

Aaron Davey

Colin Sylvia

Adaam Maric

Russell Robertson

Austin Woonameri #

Adem Yze *

Running Players/Small Defenders

Ricky Pettard

Paul Wheatley

Daniel Bell

Matthew Whelan

Chris Johnson

Jace Bode *

Issac Weetra *

# ROOKIE LISTED

* EXPECTED TO SEE RETIRE/DELISTED

OTHER THOUGHTS & QUESTIONS:

Tom McNamara, During the Pre-season games i thought McNamara along with Valenti showed alot of potential, havent been able to see to many Sandy games but he has played most of the season in the reserves, can anyone shed any light on his potential??

Id expect to see Cale Morton be a key position when he finally finds him Gym pass and does some weights, It is imperative for MFC that Morton stays away from Bruce and Wheatley whilst he is in the gym

Id expect that we would trade either Green or Bruce if the pick was higher enough. And maybe Bell if he attracted any attention.

Who was a worse draft pick, Weetra or Heath Neville??

Clint Batram tries hard but just isnt good enough.

Simon Buckley is what we need more of. SPEED and run and carry.

Jack Grimes will probably be in our top 5 midfielders in 12 months time.

Id expect to see Jack Watts and Robert Warnock at the MFC next season.

I heard a romour on here before that Alwyn Davey wanting to play at Melb with Aaron, Is this just rubbish???

Melbourne need to draft kids who are quick and have skill.

Your thoughts and id love to see your rankings....

You missed pulling him up on Moloney etc too.

Anyhow, to comment on the actual post, I guess the rankings aren't too bad, although trying to fit players into categories is problematic.

Is Davey a small forward? He's played more in the midfield over the past year or two.

Robertson plays as a KPF, although the height criteria excludes him.

Morton hasn't played as a KPF, so I'd have put him in the midfielders group.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
