Unlucky to miss out TRENGOVE & BEAMER if these guys all have big years and GREEN gets back to 2010 form we make the 8 easily

Which means 3 of my top 4 players in the afl and my number 1 demon were all melbourne supporters as kids. Talented bunch us supporters aren't we??

I have left number 5 vacant, as I think there are a lot of players that are fighting for that spot, including Trengove, Jones and Garland. I can't put Clark in our top 5 yet.

The 2014 MFC Top 5 could be an interesting list, with players like Howe, Watts, Tapscott, possibly Viney (hoping he may have an impact similar to how Selwood did in his first season or 2 at Geelong), as well as the players mentioned above.

Since money talks loudest these days, T$ is top of the list. The rest are not worthy.

Im not sure how anybody cannot have Ablett as number one!

5. Chip sorry only care about the dees but i will say moloney could well be top 5 in the brownlow this year.

Ablett.

Judd.

Franklin.

Bartel.

Hodge.

And if the game was in the balance and something had to happen .... Bartel would be the man .

Franklin- Unstoppable when on and can single handedly destroy teams and win games

Ablett- See above

Pendlebury

Judd- Still rate him higher than Murphy because he does it with 3 blokes hanging off his back

Hodge- Another who when he is fit is almost unstoppable

And for the Dees i have tried to go with our top 5 most critical to success:

Jamar

Frawley

Clarke

Sylvia

Moloney

Surprising seeing how the reigning Brownlow Medallist makes so few of these lists...

Surprising seeing how the reigning Brownlow Medallist makes so few of these lists...

Not really.

Johnathon Brown.

Wayne Carey.

No brownlows there but at their peak they had no peer.

Swanny was extremely consistent but if all 5 or 6 of the best were playing at their peak, I believe other players ate ahead of him.

For dees to play finals...these guys need to have a good year

Captains...

Grimes

Trengove

Mids

Jamar->Moloney

Jones

Fwds

Clark

Green

Def

Frawley

Garland

Rivers

Utility

Sylvia

Martin

Surprising seeing how the reigning Brownlow Medallist makes so few of these lists...

IMO, he gets a lot of the ball, which attracts the umpires' attention, but is far less damaging with it than any of those players mentioned. Very rarely able to change the trajectory of a game off his own back.
