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.

I've always enjoyed being high.

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

33 is too low for Oliver in my eyes. 

Totally agree Top 15 for me

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

So who is better? The guy has won 3 Norm Smith’s.   lucky to make to make the All Australian side!! What Drugs are you on Dub, they must be a wild ride...

The MFC have no Norm Smith Winners at all

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.

If Richmond make the grand final again i know who i'll be putting my money on to win the Norm Smith

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.

well, he's no $cully or treng(r)ove, that's fer sure

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
