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.

 

Bont is a brave choice, I like it.

I don't see enough of Fyfe to appreciate his work, I only watch Melbourne games.

Dusty is frustratingly good, just turns it on when needed

 

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.

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

I wouldn’t. Cripps has poor disposal and kicking for goal.

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.

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.

Explain how 

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.

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.

End of year rankings = based on the last season

Start of year rankings = prediction for the upcoming season

Why anyone cares about Robbo’s opinion enough is a more important question.

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!!

  • 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

    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.
