When people say 'low' and 'high' when referring to this list, I have no idea what they mean.
Is it better to be low or high..?

    Guys. The list isn't based off previous seasons. It is who Robbo thinks is going to have a big year this year.

    Hence Daniher and Rowell are on the list. He thinks they will be great this year.

    Like daisycutter said, I'm not sure these two words go together.

    If he can hold onto his 'better habits' version and use space from stoppages a bit smarter to get more effective clearances, that puts him in the absolute top bracket of midfielders.  Just need a bit more of what was in the 'video of the week' from the practice match! :lol:

    Either way, Oliver easily led the competition for clearances last year. He is surely in the same mix as Cripps, Macrae, Steele, Wines and Boak.

     

    Robbo has given Cripps a huge benefit of the doubt after a down season and I get why. The other 4 all had fantastic seasons, although I’d only have Steele with a big gap to Clarry on last year.

    Burst from stoppages gets him in the top bracket. Balancing up and hitting the short lead rather than blazing away from 60 gets him to the pointy end.

    This was the lead footy story in Robbo’s paper today. Footy journalism is flying.

    Yep...that's the look...(pang in your stomach, rise of blood pressure)

    Joe Daniher at 26 - wow Slobbo really has jumped the tracks.

     

    Daniher - 4 games for 9.5 disposals a game and 3/4 of a goal per game.

    Robinson is a disgrace to journalism and football in general. I'm embarrassed just commenting on his work. 

    And if there's 44 players better than Steven May , well.......... words fail me.

    Rowell at 22 after he’s played 3 games.

    Daniher at 26 when he doesn’t get on the park and hasn’t impacted a game for 3-4 years.

    Clarry at 33 after he’s played 100 games at possibly the highest quality first 100 games ever.

    Slobbo needs to lay off the [censored]!

    He is an absolute joke. I mean really. 
    i haven’t read a Hun for over a year, i am missing nothing.

    this is prospective list as mentioned.

    but still having Danger at the top.  Danger's best is definately past him.  any team would take Trac over him for 2021,  he is carrying injuries.  Dusty can get up for big games but he can't play 20+ elite games anymore either

    D Martin is number 1. You cannot dispute that

    No doubt he won them the flag last year and was amazing in finals. He didn’t win their BnF and was very lucky to make AA imo so number 1 for the upcoming season is questionable imo

    True top 6 players in the game at present no doubt in my mind!

    He’s better than Cripps, Steele, Mitchell, Wines, De Goey, Rowell & Shuey & that’s just the midfielders above him.

    I know it’s just an opinion piece from a very average AFL reporter, but it makes my blood boil how overlooked Clarry always is

    I thought Cripps was garbage last night!

    it is not a list of who has been the better player. He didnt make the midfield in the AA team, arguably lucky to be in it.

    no comment on the drugs

    How overrated if Steele?  one good year. just coz the saints have no other inside mids he gets it a lot.  good player but Clarry eats him for breakfast. Steele being the Saints only player in the top 50 shows their lack of class/elite players.  lots of average/good players, no great players

    And Simpkin in the top 50?

    To have joe Daniher in a list when he has hardly played a game in 3 years is farcical 

    The list is based on where he see them at years end.  If Daniher stays on the park I’d say he would comfortably sit in the top 30. In saying it’s a big if.

    Agreed.  

    In a list of performing in finals or most likely to win the norm smith - Martin would be number 1 for sure

    Remember when certain people would foam at the mouth every year when Mike Sheahan named his Top 50?

    The only thing that's changed here is the author.  

    None of it matters.

    By the sounds of the comments in this thread, Robinson is having the desired effect. Throw in a few controversial selections to rile people up. It doesn't matter. It's just an opinion.

    He doesn’t have to make to make the Midfield of the AA Side. He just has to be on the ground

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
