While it's a meaningless list, when was the last time we had five Demon players in a Top 50? 

It's one of his worst lists yet, though.  Joe Daniher got a gig on there for a start.

In fairness he is predicting where they will be at the end of the season.  If you asked me to do it and believed Daniher will stay healthy, then he would be in.

In addition Max was ranked Number 1 by Robbo at the end of 2018. 

He must of had a bad preseason to drop down to 6????

This is probably the first time ever going back to when Sheahan started doing the top 50.

So Robbo thinks Angus will go from 3rd best player as judged in the 2018 Brownlow to 43rd best as judged by him?  That totally discredits the whole thing!

As you know Luci, Robbo never lets logic get in the way of his drinking  thinking.

everyone knows the brownlow isnt a true representation of player ranking so not sure why you're using it to fit an argument. As good as brayshaw is he didnt even finish top 3 in our Bnf.

I would prefer Robbos view over an umpires view any day of the week.  Surely you’re not taking the Brownlow as your guide to the best players in the comp.

Not at all.  Just pointing that Robbo seems to be at the other extreme.  To put Angus at 43 is bizarre to me.  I would have him around #25.  Just my opinion.

Here are some alternative views:

Note:  'Roar' is a sports website where it's scribes are non-footballers who generally take an objective position - a refreshing read.  Their rankings above are based on a consensus of 3 or 4 of their writers - explains why there are some notable absences.  Roar's Top 10

Difficult to comment as no-one outlines their criteria: Club B&F would be a good start, 2019 upside would be another, AA selection.  However, the views seem fairly consistent.

I can't get behind the paywall so can't see all of Robbo's top 10.

1. Nat Fyfe

2. Dustin Martin

3. Patrick Dangerfield

4. Patrick Cripps

5. Lance Franklin

6. Max Gawn

7. Josh Kennedy (WCE)

8. Brodie Grundy

9. Josh Kelly

10. Clayton Oliver

From a Dees perspective it looks about right to me.....The only other player that may be considered in the top 50 would be Harmesy as he probably had more influence on our games last year than Angus & T Mac.

Max, Clayton & Jack have proven over a number of years (or more than 2 anyway) that they are elite. I'm sure if Harmesy & Angus continued there great form this year then they would be elevated up the list.

B & F always a good indicator of a players year.

Not sure how many here have have Gus as the 3rd best Demon, let alone AFL player.

The best thing is we have quality players bobbing up in different situations all over as serious players/talent/contenders in different contexts.

All the Scum have, really, is the hope that Joe the Goose will amount to something, Anything

FWIW I reckon 4 may = more than 7, but more than happy we happy to have both.

Robbos top 50.

Carlton Draught,VB,Fosters,Hahn,Coopers,Xxxx,Bud,Becks,Tooheys,Cascade,D-ale,Reschs,Castle,Invalid Stout ,Guinness ,Schlitz,Singha,Tiger,Sapporo,555,333,Bests , Grolsch,Ballarat Bitter, Mountain Goat,Furphys, Heineken, East End, Swan Lager, Nastro Azzurro, NT lager, Little Creatures, Urquel, Miller’s, Mickeys,Steinlager,White Rabbit, Stella,Peroni, Schofferhoffer, Pabst, Newcastle, Tooth’s, IPA , Porter, Home brew , whatever’s leftover.

Does anyone really believe that Alex Rance is a Top 10 player in the league?  Outside of Robbo, the other Top 10's above have him in there.

I wanted to disagree with you, but I have got nothing.

Alex Rance is one of the best defenders of all time. Not sure how you can argue against a 5 time all-australian and AA captain. Mind boggling. I'm glad you aren't on the recruiting team.

Not this year at least ( too soon ?).

I think Angus Brayshaw is one of those rare commodities that is more appreciated by their own supporters ( and Roos and umpires) than outside watchers.

I think he is an absolute gem and by seasons end will not be all that far behind Viney in value to our team ( big call, I know !)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
