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.

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

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.

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 ;)

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
