Updated for Petty and Fritsch contracts.

Petty will be an RFA and Fritsch will be an FA at the end of their respective contracts.

We have an incredibly stable list with probably only 3 'unforced' delistings:  Hore, Declase, Lockhart.  Very different form recent years of 10-12 each year.

A list that has just one a premiership and will stay together for the next 5+ years.

Not sure how I ended up with two posts.

I tried to edit the first and it disappeared 🤔.

So will leave both.  The table is the same, text slightly different.

I usually update games annually after the draft, when I create the new list for the following year. 

So look for the 2022 thread late next week.

i hope you decide to add a gold "(1)" after relevant players' names to indicate how many premierships they've won.

@La Dee-vina ComediaI tried putting a '1' but it got a little lost amongst all the other data.  So have put in a image.png.6fb4f6a0bd541d9bbfd5439f4446a84f.png instead.  Will add more Premiership Cups as they come 🙃🙂🙃.  

Here is a preview of the 2022 chart with games played.  If anyone sees any errors please let me know.

In updating the no of games I noticed that:

  • Viney played his 150th game in the GF.  I knew it at the time but the didn't appreciate the significance.  Doubt many players in AFL history have achieved such a significant milestone in a winning GF.
  • Jordon is accredited with 25 games.  He took the field either as a player or a sub in 21 of those games.  To me that makes him a worthy recipient of a GF medal as he played a key role in helping us get there.  Moreso than any other player.

I will update the draftees and list size after the draft.

many thanks for this brilliant resource.

I think you may alter Tom Sparrow's age on completion of his contract.  He turns 22 in May next year.

 

Is Pickett's surname actually Kropinyeri-Pickett as described in Luci's List? And if so, would that mean he has the longest surname of all players who have won a Premiership in VFL/AFL history?

If that is so has the MFC created another first in a premiership team where 2 players have hypenated surnames.

I believe so. The full hyphenated name was read out on draft night.

iirc Kropinyeri is his birth Surname.  Not sure when or why Pickett was added.

Thanks.

So we currently have picks 17, 37, 49, 57 and 94.

I would predict that we will use 17, 37 at the draft with 57 being more than enough to match for Taj. That leaves one list spot for a SSP addition.

We should be able to leverage something out of pick 49, which should come into the low 40's by the time all the pies and Bulldogs picks get absorbed in their f/s selections.

That will be pretty valuable to a few clubs, including those that need more points for NGAs and f/s or maybe just want another selection all together. StKilda, GWS as well as Pies and Dogs are just a few clubs that might be interested in it.

I'm not sure it will be enough to seriously upgrade pick 17 but we could perhaps get an upgrade to 37 or perhaps a future pick or two for next year.

in that case we should try and bundle up 37 and 40 to get a single better pick

yes kropinyeri is his father's surname.   the mfc, afl and wikipedia have his surname as just pickett

are we expecting Chandler to be upgraded given 2 year contract?  if so I suspect we pick up 3 at draft tomorrow including Taj, upgrade Chandler and JJ and leave 1 rookie spot open for AMW.

Did another post suggest AMW would be Cat B? which leave a further Rookie spot open

His father is a pretty funny comedian too!

Chandler is not on the club's list of rookies to be upgraded submitted to the AFL.

If AMW isn't bid on by another team in the main draft we can automatically take him as a B rookie.

Hello LH. Just wondering whether you've done an updated list for 2022 including draftees/rookies? I couldn't find anything using the search function.

Certainly have.  2022 thread is here

 

and it is pinned near the top of this forum.

 

Edit:  not sure why the lines appear in black above but fully legible in the thread itself.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
