Mark Robinson's Top 50

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.

    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

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
