WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - ANGUS BRAYSHAW

Carey and Matthews are the best I've seen. Senior was a more spectacular and powerful player than Junior.

I also reckon Judd's best is better than Junior's best. Others won't agree - eye of the beholder, etc.

I do agree that Junior has probably been the most consistent and prolific player the game has seen.

Judds best I think is more damaging than Abletts.

To many of Gary's are one twos with teammates.

Well Ablett has kicked 140 more goals and had 230 more scoring shots over their careers, and played 9 less games than Judd.

Thats what puts him above Judd for mine.. you cant ignore that sort of scoreboard impact.

Noted that Malthouse on SEN picked out Brayshaw as something special in amongst the usual talk by the other commentators of how good the Dogs, St Kilda, the Tigers are going to be in the next three years. Mick picked out MFC as a team to look out for largely based on Brayshaw, Hogan etc.

Fair call. Hogan and Brayshaw are both top 5 of the first year players.

I think MFC and the Dogs will be the 2 younger sides to eventually separate themselves from the others.

I wouldn't classify Richmond as a young side, but I think we are a long way ahead of Carlton, and will be a long way ahead of St Kilda in the next 3 years.

Brisbane have problems with their spine, and a lack of key position talent coming through, and Gold Coast have stagnated.

So I think we are well placed as a top 4 side down the track, probably 2017-18 onwards.

You mean the Rivers who has played in the last two final series whilst he wouldn't have at Melbourne and will probably retire at seasons end ?

I believe that Rivers is the perfect example of why free agency was brought in . A good servant who played 10 seasons for us and left to gain some success at the end of his career.

I hold no grudge for him leaving

Interestingly he sat behind me during the queens bday match. Either he still has a soft spot for the dees or he came to support Daniher. I respect him for coming

I did give it to him a bit the other day. We were in the front row and he got within metres of us a couple of times. Couldn't help myself. But good on him for going to the QB game.

GWS will be the ones to beat if they can keep Shiel, Cameron and Treloar together.

I agree, they'll have a chance of stringing 3-4 flags together at some point - providing they keep their list together.

Fair headstart the amount of first round picks on their list. They basically get a free hit at a few flags. The AFL has made sure of that.

Also played the first years of his career as a small forward, Judd didn't, always was in the midfield.

As a Captain/Leader: Judd = 9/10, Ablett = 6/10. Judd sets example. Ablett selfish, sets his own rules.

For Inspiration: Judd = 9/10, Ablett = 6/10. Judd leads/develops his players. Ablett relies on them for possessions/goals/ego, hasn't developed them.

For Courage: Judd = 9/10, Ablett = 4/10. Judd: "was often ill at having to play sore". Ablett refuses to play with sore shoulder (while his team is wallowing at the bottom of the ladder).

Brownlow = 2 each

They breakeven as players but for the above Judd is by far the better footballer and value to his club, IMO.

Why on earth am I posting this in a Gus thread. I don't know!

Can only justify it by saying if Gus is to be a champ I'd rather he be like Judd rather than Ablett.

Gotta be joking... Judd isn't a leaders [censored].

14th in the AFL for goal assists despite being affected by the sub vest 3 times.

Not bad for a first-year player that didn't play any NAB Challenge.

Yeah, thinking about keeping him as a starter in supercoach.

Have had him since round 1. Kid is a star, and a rising star - shoe in.

Great fan of AB.

But talk about goal assists.

My whipping boy JW.

How many goal assists did he gave against Cats.???

A lot. Ian changing my mind. Development is working. Can we get A 24yo to get a rising star.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
