Heard someone say that your not a serious contender without five or six high quality players competing for selection.

For everyone its clearly Gawn and Hogan.

Who are the other 4, assuming everyone from dogs game is included?

    JKH, Weiderman, Wagner, Trengove. On this metric, we're probably at least 3-4 players off premiership contention then...

    Stretch, Brayshaw, ???, ??? Definitely need another key position player pushing for selection.

    Another way of stating this metric is looking at the strength of your bottom six as selected.

    Our bottom 6 played well against the Dogs and the Pies but other than that our bottom 4-5 have been unsettled for weeks.

    Would love to see Stretch and Brayshaw force their way into a successful team rather than be part of the merry go round of ins and outs we saw earlier this season.

    Both Smiths , but still a bit light on.  Based on this, the off season will be another very important one for our list managers to capitalise on our current (seemingly) strong position.

    It's the kind of throw-away comment that doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.

    It would have to be the five players on your list that wouldn't be in your best 22 if the entire list was fit, in form and available.

    Probably take your pick from:

    KENT

    BUGG

    STRETCH

    MELKSHAM

    WAGNER

    HARMES

    ANB

    AVDB

    WEIDEMAN

    That's a decent list of players that may not be in the best 22 if all are fit and available.

    Was kind of thinking the same thing which is why I wanted other opinions.Our top 22 is awesome but every team cops injuries. 

    Need to keep recruiting the way we have and a flag will come.

    Forgot about Brayshaw. Hes a big one. Agree with Wagner, Weid, Vanders and maybe stretch. Not a bad list then.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
