Not so sure about Oscar at number five.

Oscar is 45, soon.

 

i think Trac is definitely there. Much maligned and has done well with very poor supply. His 3 goals on saturday and his assists were very good. About time he gets some cudos.

Gawn, Oliver, May are in the elite groups at their positions.

Tom McDonald, Lever, Salem, Petracca, Melksham are all very good but need to round out their games and that's assuming Tom bounces back and plays like he did after the bye not in the first 10 weeks.

Harmes, Viney are next. That's the 10. It's a very good top 10, better than we've had in over a decade, but it's not perfect. 

I still think Jetta can get back to a really good player for at least a year, there were some good signs on the weekend with some good spoils and his evasive skills and ball use. Brayshaw should be in the top 10 but it's all on hope he can bounce back. Fritsch another with excellent talent. That's 13 and after that it's not pretty.

Hibberd (who's dropped way off), Hore, Frost, Lockhart, Jones, Hunt - they are guys I at least trust to have a go. Unfortunately they are 14-19 on the list not 19-24.

Weideman, Spargo, Hannan, ANB, the perpetually injured Vanders, KK, Joel Smith, Tim Smith. It hasn't been a good year for the fringe players and that's before we even get to the next level of depth players.

 

 


I think Salem has gone backwards the last 4 weeks. His skills are no where near what everyone thinks they are, and 90% of it is due to the fact he never pushes back from the mark with any urgency, he tries to kick of 2 paces and the kicks are now not low and fast, they sit up  and are easy pickings for defenders, its because he has to clear the man on the mark.. my god its infuriating.. he inst alone either, and its due to this break neck speed play on get the ball going at every cost mentality the coaches have them playing,. 

The club is a mess, its an absolute mess and it starts from the coaches box, its sat and rested on 2 finals wins instead of reacting to a shocking loss that exposed all our flaws the Prelim.

Noticed this myself.  To be honest Gawn has carried this side almost single handed all year.  Oliver has been capable enough and Petracca has been ok given the position he has been asked to play and the impact he has had on the scoreboard. 20 plus goals is a handy return with four games still to play.  The rest of them have been mediocre to completely hopeless.  May will be a great player if he can get fit and I still have high hopes for Lever.  Melksham has been sorely missed.

Based on 2019 it would be 

1. Max Gawn 

Daylight

2. Clayton Oliver

3. Christian Salem 

4. Christian Petracca

9. Tom McDonald 

10. Jack Viney

Get this out of his game and he becomes a star. JUST KICK THE GOAL!!!

IF Viney, Lever, Brayshaw, TMac,and May are in our top 10 players then we are in trouble.Will May play consistently and string many games together?  Milkshake has missed 10 weeks. Brayshaw  is not his usual playing best and struggling. Lever will need time and l am hoping TMac to be better next season. Yes we are in trouble. Maybe a top 5 however l can only see a TOP 2 and that is Gawny and Clarrie. Times are tough, that's for sure.

I'm not sure I agree, but if he has, it may be that it's because other teams are putting time into stopping him. I understand St Kiilda played Newnes on him in a purely defensive role. Whether that was the reason, Salem's disposals on Saturday were not as precise as usual.

  • 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.

    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.
