An observation, these players are not pretty to watch or highly skilled. By and large they are hard working grafters.

If you had to list our most talented 5 players I don't think any of these 12 would be on it.

It would be nice to see our most talented players take the step up.

Edit: My most talented. Watts - Salem -Toumpas -Tyson - Hogan

Just off topic for a second, Bitter but optimistic, pg1 #24, gave 5 to N Jones with the comment "This bloke deserves a Brownlow".

Now I'm not saying that he will or even is a good chance to win but 500 to 1 for the Brownlow? I've had some of that.

Not that stats tell the whole picture but in 2012 he averaged 24.6 possessions a game and polled 14 votes in a team that won 4 games. He also missed a game.

This year, so far he has averaged 29.5 possessions a game and is being released by Tyson and Crossy. In my view he was BOG on Saturday and could poll in two other games if lucky. Surely worth a look. Even for a top three finsh he is paying 126 to 1.

Go Nugget!

P.S. having a bald head to get noticed doesn't hurt.

I don't have any basis at all for including Salem and Toumpas

The premise was most talented. These two have talent in abundance. Most experts had them in top 3 midfielders in their respective draft years.Whether either will ever deliver on that talent is any ones guess. I suspect both will make it.

Trengove goes unmentioned on the same criteria?

It depends...how are you defining talent? Skills? If so, which skills? Watts and Toumpas are both beautiful kicks, but their tackling isn't great and both are far behind Howe in marking ability. I haven't seen enough of Hogan or Salem to comment on their "talents", but I do agree that Tyson is a very complete footballer (great hands, kicking, tackling).

I would argue that Dunn is quickly moving up the list of most talented people at the club, and I think that Jones is at the top of that list.

I don't think Trenners is in the top 5 for talent perhaps in top 8. And certainly is not delivering on his talent.

Dunn has under delivered on his talent for years. We tend to forget, this week he delivered. Pick 15 2004 a pretty good draft Delidio Roughhead Griffin Franklin. To me he is an honest toiler with some good skills. But you cannot compare him to someone like Watts who has sublime talent but rarely displays it.

Don't get me wrong, give me a team with 5 Nathan Jones anyday, he always gives 100% never plays a bad game and leads by example, his talent is mid range but guts and determination unmatched, he does the absolute best with his talent. Viney is developing the same way, love him. From what I've seen of Hogan he will also deliver.

In an ideal world you put Nathan Jones head on Jack Watt's body and stand back.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
