I don't have too much to say about your post, but love your name and Avatar. Not too sure how many Demonlanders would understand, but to anyone with Scottish connections, Rab is an institution. Four knot-cornered handkerchief hat, string singlet, unintelligible English. Brilliant.

 

Hi Maldonboy. Aye, if they ever made a walk of fame in Glesga then Govan's finest would surely be on it.

Whichever way you shake it we still have the definite potential of an AA first ruck gong together with two starting mids. Unprecedented.

Make that five Demons, not 4.

Werridee youre a classic.  Zero chance we get 5 All Australians.

I actually think @WERRIDEE is pretty close to the mark.  Just have a look at how many players the MFC has up the top of the AFL coaches association voting - was more than any other club when I scrutinised it not so long ago.

Reckon we'll see a lot of newbies this year and I think with the shorter quarters they go 1 ruckman. Naitanui IMO gets the gig.

Trac a monty at this stage and believe Oliver has got himself in on his recent form..  Tigers have had role players keeping them in  contention for top 6, but no standouts to have a player in the 22.

Brissy - 3, Carlton - 1, Collingwood - 1, Freo - 1,  Cats - 3, GWS - 2, Dees - 2, Port - 2, Swans - 1, Saints - 1, Eagles - 3 & Dogs - 2

Max if he plays this week, has 6 games left.  NicNat will have to leave Perth after this game.  He was very poor away from home first time around. Don't forget that just two games ago Max was in both Robbo's and Jake Niall's mid year AA team.  He only needs to dominate three of his last six games and he'll be in. My guess is if Max has a stellar finish to the year they'll pop both of them in.  Gawn is still the 4th best player in the comp this year on AFL ranking and the leading ruckman. (tracc being first and Oliver 5th).

Grundy is currently ranked 8th best ruckman this season on Champion data.

Ample to choose from here, particularly in the midfield. It’s hard to think of a more improved player in the league than Christian Petracca. Remarkably, he’s the best player in the league according to the AFL Player Ratings, averaging a career-high 24.5 disposals per game despite the shortened quarters. He’s also ranked among the league’s top 10 for score involvements, contested possessions, ranking points and inside 50s. Jack Viney also seems to be thriving without the captaincy, averaging 21.7 disposals and ranking inside the league’s top 10 for clearances and contested possessions. Max Gawn will be in the mix for a fourth All-Australian jacket in five seasons, while Clayton Oliver’s ability to win more effective disposals and drive the Dees forward could also catch the eye of selectors. Steven May has also turned himself into an even more versatile key defender. Not only is he spoiling and competing well one-on-one, he’s providing ample drive out of the back 50.

And was comprehensively outplayed tonight by Nankervis and Soldo.  I think Max is still a big chance.

Max is a huge chance with the games remaining.  Nic Nat is the biggest threat, but for a ruckman to have only taken six marks for the year is a very poor result from a big man.  He can tap... that’s it.

Thats a pitiful result for any player, let alone a massive guy with a huge leap.

If Natanui gets a guernsey ahead of Max, that will be further evidence (if any more was ever needed) that the All Aussie team is a reward for being flavour of the month (in a lot of cases).  They completely lost my interest when they named Rance then Franklin as captains.

Some commentators have suggested that Goldstein is in the mix too.

My roughie, Caleb Daniel from the Dogs. From the Dees, Trac a cert and Maxy on the bench.

Stephen May pushing very hard Cutting out the dinky kicks and occasional brain fade in last 3/4 matches.

Really showing how good he can be and why we recruited him.

Five more years of this would be a god send.

Gawny just beats NicNat I reckon and is Menegolas best better than Dangers near best? Good idea to include newbies!

Coach Kenny? Ratten or even Longmuir making a play!!

I’d say he was front-runner for the first half of the season, but he’s dropped off quite a bit now.  Definitely a chance if his form picks back up.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
