Mikes top 50

Featured Replies

 
No Aaron Davey from positions 50-11?

He played to far up the Ground in 2009. He got a lot of kicks that were good but they were not necesarily damaging to opposition teams.

Next year could well be different.

Had a great year. But less effective than other players because he was surrounded by a lot of rubbish.

Also, if I was unbiased, I could name 50 players that had better seasons than our Aaron Davey.

But, I am biased...

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Some of you got that, I know you did. You had a chuckle...

 

Like anyone cares anyway...

I must admit I thought Davey would be on the cusp at best, then I went to the 41-50 placed players, and there's a few in there that Davey easily has pipped for consistency alone.

I think perhaps Sheahan rates the player's team's ladder position more highly than he should. ie, if Davey really was that good, then why is his team 16th?

Flawed logic, IMO, but I guess in some cases it's useful to put a wedge between names you just can't separate.

M.Sheahan's Top 50....pffft.

That's what I'm talkin' about!


It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

And our women!

It's next year and beyond that Davey should be able put the trackwork to use in a more damaging and noticable fashion.

Your influences boggle and bedazzle rpfc :)

"God damned goo-backs!"


Had a good laugh at who he had in there.

Maxwell, Davis and Hargrave ?????

It is easy to settle this one. Ask anyone who they would rather have Davey or the other three. Can you imagine a $2.5m offer for one of them?

If I was to rate the top 50 afl journalist's going around Sheahan wouldn't get a mention

If I was to rate the top 50 afl journalist's currently suffering from senility Sheahan would rate no 1.

his non sensical ramblings are famous for causing dementia amongst his readers

Doesn't necessarily mean he had a better year than those guys. Just that he's a better player (or worth more to the club than the other blokes)

Sheahan's top 50 does nothing more than promote discussion about how far off the mark Mike Sheahan is.

What the hell is Lance Franklin doing there? Davey had a better, more consistent year than he did.

No he didn't. Honestly no Melbourne player deserved to make it this year and i can't see what he has done wrong with his top 50. There is no position in which he is totally wrong. Remember its all subjective

I know it's subjective. That's what opinions are.

I believe Franklin did not have as good a year as Davey. Franklin was up and down, some games good, some games bad. Davey was more consistent IMO.

Every year this list comes out and everyone has a coronary over it. Who cares? It's some guy's opinion. Write your own Top 50 if you're that offended.

Surely everyone's used to us getting ignored by now.

i was more Offended this morning when i read Mike Sheahan's article about a Drawn Grand Final.

Mike of course wants extra time to be played if the scores are tied.

SHUT UP MIKE. If the game is a draw it is replayed the following week

I like the Replay, & yes i was there at both in '77

You are such a dull journalist, only ever reporting on last weeks or yesterdays news.

Time for the Pethadiene & retirement village old man. SHUT IT.

he did kick 65 goals in 21(?) games. i agree with sylvias no demon player deserved to be in the top50 imo.


The only reason I'm surprised he didn't make the top 50 is because Mike mentioned earlier about how stiff Davey was to miss the All Australian squad of 40.

Well.. hes probablya bit stiff to miss out as theres a handful in there who might well have not had as good a year as we believe Flash did but then that might speak to our point of view and no an overview.

Ol' Aaron better get his skates on and put in a few blinders and show them their errors , as well as earning his new big paycheck ;)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
