The AFL players' top 50: 50 to 41

No idea who wrote it but great that Bernie and Nathan get this recognition.  Bernie ranked 48 and Nathan 42.  (With a countdown there may be others but unlikely).  Very well deserved by the guys.

It is another public acknowledgement that we are improving.  I even saw mfc and 'destination club' in the same sentence in The Age recently!:o

Bit by bit we are earning back respect!

    End of year 50 - Jones Vince Hogan Gawn unless injured - then circling around could be a couple of others (Brayshaw, Rising star favourite Tracca, Viney..... ) hell if things go well we actually might have a handy team this year!

    There are 18 teams and 50 spots in the top 50. Your doing above average to get three in there.

    Based on games played last year, Jack Viney should be higher on top 50 than Jones and Vince.

    Yep - and we haven't had any for decade, while the likes of Hawthorn, Geelong etc have had 6 or 8. Time for us to start the rise and be recognised during the rise - can honestly see the 4 above this year and then the extra's to come

    Depends on who the players doing the voting are I guess.

    I wonder if Gazza and Selwood would vote for Viney...

    It says there are 4 new key forwards in the top 50 so I'd say Jesse is there, deservedly or not

    I think he should be there. After the toweling he gave Rance I think he caught they eye of every opposition backman in the league.

    Changes the game when he's there. Double team him to negate and leave a hole somewhere, or leave him 1 on 1 and risk him clunking a contested mark. Which he happens to be 3rd best in the league at. You could see it in the Port game, defenders get paranoid with him on the ground.

    We are doing alright so far with 20% of the nominated players to date!

    Cant remember the last time we had two players in the top 50.   Viney and Hogan would have to have been very close too.

    They both deserve it. They are in the best 30 or so midfielders in the comp. 

    Hogan is in the best 10 forwards. 

    Not sure we've got any of the best 10 defenders. 

    A few rucks get squeezed in somewhere as well and I'd probably have Goldy, Sandi and probably Nic Nat, maybe Jacobs. Mumford if fit. Gawn's challenge is to break free of the pack and in to that conversation. Half a season doesn't have him there yet but hopefully he can step up.

    Based on the player ratings Tom McDonald top 5

    One of the latest Fox ads has a little girl designating each kid in a lineup as a star player in the completion. The usual candidates pop up as she points at each kid - Pendlebury, Fyfe etc. Then all of a sudden..."Nathan Jones". I just about fell off my chair. It's nice to know he's as highly regarded in some circles as he is by (most) Demon supporters.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
