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.

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 :)

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?

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.

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 ;)

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
