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  

>  5 inside 50s we are 10-4

<  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.
