Wiseblood

Recommended Posts

Yeah, yeah.  I know.  It doesn't really matter but thought it's worth a glance at the very least.  Full list here for those who can read it:

Mark Robinson’s Top 50: Marcus Bontempelli set to join Western Bulldogs greats

Melbourne players included are:

Max Gawn at #7

Clayton Oliver at #25

Christian Petracca at #49.

He gave the #1 spot to Bontempelli, with Dusty at #2 and Fyfe at #3.

I saw this this morning but wasn't sure if it was different to his End of Footy Year 2019 rankings.

I love Trac and think he will explode this year and he did have a good year last year, but he is not in teh top 50 players in the comp. 

I can never keep up with these things as to where the reporter thinks they rank right now or whether it’s a Nostradamus style thing of saying this is where they will be rated once the season is going.

Trac hasn’t done enough in season to qualify but if he continues his pre-season form he’ll be top 50 (higher) for sure.

Yep must admit i didnt really read whether its on form or its a forecast. I agree, if his form continues, then he is top 50 for sure.

I'd have Cripps over Bontempelli every day of the week.

Bont gets 4.5 more kicks and 200m gained more each week. Clearance dominance is nice but it doesn’t correlate with winning. 

All Bont has to do is stop missing easy goals and he’ll push Dusty for number 1.

That said, if Cripps takes another step with his marking and kicking he’ll tighten the gap with Danger and Fyfe for 3 and 4.

Bontempelli is a rare talent. He might finish his career with 2 premiership medallions and a Brownlow or two. As long as the premiershp is not at our expense.

Does he really have a drinking problem ... this sample is very radical.

Anyone catch AFL360 last night? Robbo was bordering incoherent, like a drunk man debating footy and life at the pub.  He can barely remember players’ names let alone provide a balanced, robust assessment on the order of their standing in the game.

Is he getting worse?

Agree demon3......

Max & Clarry are the only ones that warrant a top 50 selection in my opinion & daylight  after that. Trac has the potential & probably Viney close but a good year for those 2 could see them an automatic selection in future years.

Spot on LG, i actually think Viney could be teh big mover this year, set for a great year, looks light on his toes and will be determined as ever to play well.

If we end the year with Max, Clarry, Trac and Viney in the top 50 players, we probably play finals.

No way is Bont the number one player in the league.

For mine it’s 1.Martin, 2.Fyfe, 3.Cripps

Then there’s a bunch including Danger, Buddy, Josh Kelly, Neale, Grundy , Gawn , J. Cameron, Yeo ,and Bont in that group.

I wouldn't put him on TV and I just about refuse to watch him on tv these days, but ranking the player the coaches had as the best in the game last year as the best in the game is not at all radical.

In fact the most radical part of his list is Buddy Franklin at 33 give his injury history and decline. Pretty much every other player is reasonable.

I think this is his predicted top 50 for the year, then at the end he does he's actual top 50.

So he is predicting the Bont to be number 1. I would argue he won't even be the best Footscray player

Each year he’s getting worse and worse, I was amazed he wasn’t given the bullet last year.

Claimed he attended the Carlton/Brisbane pre-season match on Sunday... not inconceivable he just woke up in the Robert Heatley stand after a heavy Saturday night at the Great Northern

It’s quite sad that he still has the top job

The man is a complete clown ? with zero personality. 
I have heard Liam Pickering get stuck into him on Radio ? 

that has been entertaining!!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
