Odd list. Bordering on ridiculous.

Moloney is not even close to being in the AFL's best 50. Meanwhile Frawley, an All-Australian defender, is missing, as is Jamar, another All-Australian. Grimes isn't top 50 either. And that's just looking at it from an MFC perspective.

No Adam Cooney, James Frawley, Matthew Scarlett, Mark Jamar. Moloney ahead of Davey is ridiculous. How Daniel Connors made this list is a mystery.

No credibility and will get no more of my attention.

read this in the sunday times yesterday.

its a joke. Its like he was taking it seriously for the first 20 or so and then couldnt be bothered doing it anymore so did the next 30 players that came to mind.

I couldnt believe Cox made the top 50 after a poor 2010, yet Jamar, Jolly & Mumford were left out. And LeCras infront of Goodes, J Browen and Boomer?

I liked seeing Grimes & Beemer in the list, but Grimes probably proven himself over enough games of footy to be a Top 50, and Beemer's disposals probably arent classy enough. Maybe Beemer's short comings arent as prominant when you dont follow the dees as passionatley as we do?!

Good on him for putting his nuts on the line and actually picking a list of players that he likes, rather than a "best 50" list. Well, that's my interpretation of it anyway. But yeah, some pretty ridiculous inclusions and omissions there.

I'd have Montagna between 15-30

He's one of the resons the Saints lost. Far too slow running through the midzone, no breakaway pace. Kicks floating high balls, lacks penetration. Way overvalued. He's soft. He's one of the reasons the Saints went looking for Lovett & Peake. He can read the play, but has too many weaknesses.. The year before I agreed with you, I thought he's finallly come good. But no,, he's average. Appears better than he's effectiveness really is.

Now that the guy from the Victory Blinds ad has done a top 50 I can't wait to see what the Carpet Court Jester thinks.

Hahahaha. A much funnier way of putting the same thing I was thinking. WGAF what this guy thinks?

Just another ex-footballer trying to make himself relevant again. Keep trying, Karl.

The one thing I keep noticing about these top 50 lists is that Nick Riewoldt has slid in people's assessments.

Just shows you how make or break Grand Finals are for your reputation.

Yep , coulda placed himself among the Super Duper stars if he could get a kick during a GF .

Relegated himself to the "Good ordinary" list .

No-one really GAF as you put it so nicely but it was interesting to me that he put in four demons and left out a pretty important one. And maybe Moloney is valued more outside this site than in it.

Karl Langdon does a heap of Sports/AFL talkback radio in Perth, and writes regular column in the Sunday Times - he also doe the vista blinds adds :P

I dont rate his opinions generally, but in WA some people may consider him "reputable"

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
