You were pretty adamant that we should have had more in Sheehan's preseason Top 50.

Err...no I wasn't.

    So, at the start of the season you thought we deserved only 1 player in the Top 50?

    Maybe I should have asked you that question at the start of the year.

    It is very difficult to do a top 50 list, but Mike seems to do a bad a job as any.

    Thomas at 9 is purely based on 2 Grand Finals, no doubt. He can't possible justify Dale Thomas at 9 if he did the list before the Grand Final.

    I dont understand if he puts so much weight on this seasons performances, why Jobe Watson wasn't in the top 50.

    Kade Simpson at 46, no Jobe Watson?

    That's the sort of thing that makes Sheehans top 50 irrelevant.

    Alot do.

    You and Mike don't.

    That says a bit.

    Mike & I are both considered to had expert opinions..?

    Come on - Jobe Watson?

    It's half essendon's problem when he's their best player.

    What an embarrassment.

    Jobe is a fine player and should have been in the Top 50 for 2010, needs some jets around him though in a big way. I think some people totally miss the point that it is based on the year only and argue incorrectly as a result.

    I think Mike sometimes forgets his own rule and has players higher than their actual season should allow them to be, IMO. I think he also, especially of late, puts this huge rating to grand final performances and goes too far and this is why Daisy is so high.

    He had a great season Thomas, a lot better than I have previously given credit for.

    Hence Watson not in the top 50 makes a mockery of his list.

    Sheahan's top 50 is only opinion, highly subjective opinion. A considerable man-crush on Daisy is the only reason he has made the top 10. Marc Murphy has topped Daisy from the 2005 draft right up until today, in every way a footballer could, yet Murphy didn't even make the list this year and Daisy finished at 9th. That's not just biased, it doesn't even make sense.

    Murphy's a great player, but Daisy had the better year, no doubt about it.

    It is the list of the 50 best players of the 2010 AFL Season.

    For some reason 90% of people think that this is a list of the best players in the league. I believe he does that list at the start of each season. This list a review of the season just gone.

    Yeah, that's fine.

    As I said in the quote of mine that you have highlighted, If Sheehan is listing the top 50 players of 2010, leaving Jobe Watson out is criminal.

    I'm fully aware of what his irrelevant list is about.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
