Every side has VFL standard players, as not every player drafted becomes an AFL player, simply on numbers alone.

The aim is to have 22 very good AFL players in your side and then depth players.

The better lists bat a bit deeper, or have stars among their best 22.

Most young players when drafted, are clearly VFL players or worse.

It is silly to say we are no good because we have VFL players, we always will, but hopefully less of them.

    The post doesn’t say that we are no good because we have VFL level players. It says “The MFC will not win a premiership until it recruits and develops elite players like those of Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood, West Coast. We have chosen poorly in the past year and developed some potential elite players poorly. Max Gawn was just about our only elite player this year based on performance. The catastrophic drop to the bottom of the ladder had a reason. We just don’t have the cattle.”

    Who do you think played at the elite level this year?

    I thought Salem first 2/3 of the season, then poor for the rest.

    He got injured towards the end of the season and wasn't the same player.

    I have no problem signing Wagner on for another year.  He is on the rookie list after all, so it may just be that he has kept his spot on there for 2020, rather than being upgraded.  He showed he could be a depth player so this doesn't hurt us at all in the grand scheme of things.

    Great reply. Attack the poster rather than the content. Which players do you think were elite this year?

    How many on your list were actually given a run at AFL level? How many were injured? How many were first year or rookies? It was a laughable post.

    It wasn’t my list. It was President Dee Trump. Glad you can still laugh at yourself though!

    My mistake, but the comment stands regarding the PDTs list. And for someone who was complaining about the fact I attacked the poster, you’re doing quite well on that front with the second line of your post, no?

    • 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.
