Other teams have players with X-Factor who can turn a game in a few acts (i.e. Buddy, Cyril - until he retired, Danger, DeGoey etc) - who is our player?

Maybe Melksham?

We don't have many,,, if any... with the  'X

Which is a good thing, while we build the engine room.

 

The engine room needs to be almost a finished project, prior to making scoring easier.  The engine room needs to establish its work-rate and team ethics, while its tough going.

Hence Jeffy out and 'wattshisface' left the building.

Kenty as well, has had to learn the hard way... as is Hannan.

When will 'tracca' learn.?

Oliver.

Im surprised no one has mentioned him yet. Perhaps because he is consistently brilliant. He does things that just takes your breath away

Clarry will go forward when Viney is in the team in spurts, he will be X he is the one.

Handgun Hannan and Melk are already there.

Hogan when he has a 29 possession... 4 goal game

Enough to win finals .... if only

After that... Brayshaw and of course Oliver.

Petracca could be but we certainly haven't seen it yet.

Petracca if he can pull his finger out

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Funny to think, wouldn't really call Gawn or Oliver 'x-factor' types despite the fact both have a knack for getting things moving and turning a total mess into a work of art. Ha! Suddenly I want to nickname Oliver 'Pollock'.

Same problem for Brayshaw since he found form, though I also think Brayshaw is still underrated for his ability to significantly change a situation, and it is notable that a lot of our beautiful goal->centre clearance->goal doubles this season have been because Brayshaw is just so good at getting the ball forward fast from that situation.

But surely the x-factor player has to be Melksham? That many goals, that many quality inside-50s and goal assists, that many smart breakaways to bang through a goal from point blank. One interesting feature I've noticed is that when Melksham has it, whatever happens tends to happen quickly - possibly an illusion created by the tendency to low passes and just the nature of playing half-forward. But it is entertaining. Entertaining is part of the x-factor equation, isn't it?

Bailey fritsch

 

can play anywhere on the ground, and is a hard match when put forward

Agree here... harmes would fly right under the radar but always seems to brush off a tackle or two and make things happen 

Only in recent weeks.  Before this, quite the opposite I thought.  But yes he is looking much improved.

When Petracca realises how good he can be; you can add him to that list.

Clarrie is surely the one at the moment.

Harmes is pushing.  

But certainly Tracc could be: I think he realizes but can’t / won’t deliver, yet.

Melksham. The bloke just increases the Melbourne demons' score, regardless of how it happens.

Im loving that 2/3 of the team have been nominated.

Mitch Hannan has some I reckon and even James harmes has the speed to break lines and kick multiple goals
