To play devils advocate cant really deny we have a bunch of butchers in our midfield and Melksham is the only one who reliably makes the right decision and executes forward of centre (when he shows up).

Its not a list of our best players (which he isnt) but yea given our awful delivery into 50, hes pretty important cause he essentially carrying the efficiency inside 50. 

Fwiw, at his career at Melbourne.. when he has

<  2 inside 50s we are 7-14

Melksham and Lever were deputy vice captains so leadership is why they are so high.

So your not basing it on ability at all. I wouldn't have Melksham in the seniors.

I can understand the rationale behind Melksham behind 3rd on the list as kicking is the single most important component of football, and Melksham setting up someone for a shot on goal is a thing of beauty.

However he was so poor this year that one wonders if he’ll even get a regular game next year.

Pretty close to the only bloke who can kick left and right

Not all of them I base it on what I think the coaches want too. Like Spargo and Hunt are rated higher because they got a 2 year contract while Jones, Smith and Hore only got one while vandenBerg, Neal-Bullen and McDonald were rated even lower because they were shopped around.

Huge gap after that

Langdon?

Benny Brown is a big piece of the puzzle for us. He's No. 1 most important player for us next year imv. We're much more likely to have a successful year if he wins the Coleman than if Petracca wins the Brownlow.

  • 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.
