What it says on the can. I started a similar thread in 2017 but it didn't get far. Quite a difficult exercise, but I will give it a go to kick off.

Explain your workings and own parameters if you care to or not, and add stars or ratings however you see fit. Mine are just in order of merit and emotion.

Richmond
Dogs
Brisbane
Geelong
GWS
Saints
Sydney
Carlton
Hawthorn
Freo
North
Adelaide

    Pretty much spot on.

    I didn’t rate the GWS win as they had 4 blokes go off injured throughout the game and we couldn’t help but win the game.

    The Sydney and St Kilda wins were more meritorious IMO.

    The Dogs win was more complete but geez I’m more pumped about the Lions win.

    Richmond - first BIG game on big stage v Big opposition. 
    Tiges monstered us for 15 minutes - then we turned it around completely. 
    Luke Jackson breakout game. 
     

    cats were missing Danger, Cameron, Rohan

    1. Rich: Because it was a massive stage and everyone was watching us. And a melee always helps. 
    2. Dogs: Regarded as the best team and we outplayed them all 4 quarters and I expected us to lose
    3. Brisbane: See above. But we rallying after half time was pleasing. And now everyone knows that our best is the best in the comp.
    4. Geelong: A good team with senior bodies. Without May in the team. Good win. 
    5. Sydney: An underrated team Sydney. People don't give them their credit. A good win in the wet. Slogged it out. gutsy. 
    6. Saints win: I rate the saints from last year. We were down by 4 goals and came back and won. Good win. 
    7. gws win
    8. Carlton. 
    9. hawks win
    10. Freo win: An unconvincing win round 1.
    11. Adelaide loss
    12. North win: This was our worst game of the season despite the win. It was the old Melbourne in the first half and it took me a few weeks to unsee that.

    1    Brisbane    Winning this game makes us the undisputed champs so far this year. Say no more
    2    Richmond    The big "this is real" moment
    3    Dogs    Knocking off the ladder leaders and taking their place
    4    Sydney    Our closest victory
    5    Hawthorn    A come from behind win is a come from behind win, and our closest to a smashing at the end
    6    Geelong    Defeating last year's GF team is great, but it wasn't their best side
    7    GWS    A good medium win
    8    Carlton    Got on top against a dangerous side we should beat, and never looked like losing
    9    North    Woke up after a red eye flight and played a half of footy to get the win
    10    Saints    Coming back after going 20 points down in the 2nd was the first time I thought "OK, there's something different here", but it turns out the Saints suck so that takes a bit out of it
    11    Freo    A win is a win is a win
    12    Adelaide    A loss is a loss is a loss. We're still on track for the best statistical season ever if this is our only loss though, so there's that.30

    It has to be last night for mine, has to be !

    Richmond scalp was big but the coach and the players know the importance of last night 

    down by 20 points, looking like we missing Langdon badly in the first half then to play the way we did and come back against the inform team in the comp. IMO biggest win since the TMac goal in the west

    Ok we did not play well in fact we lost but just how important was the Adelaide game. The difference in losing to the crows or winning and losing to the dogs is massive.

    Richmond - Gave us belief

    Doggies - Gave us top spot

    Lions - Showed how good we really are

    Cats - Love beating these guy’s

    Hawks - Erased some mental scars

    Swans - Righting the wrongs

    The rest were as important but not our best.

    Richmond (Copped an early hazing. Returned fire with interest for three-plus quarters. Intensity off the charts)
    Dogs (A complete game against a genuine in-form contender. Dogs never really had a look in)
    Brisbane (Great comeback. Stamped our dominance on the competition. But first half was lacking).
    Geelong (Our first real challenger. Dealt with it without too much fuss and a lot of maturity)

     - Admittedly, the rest is a bit of a crap-shoot - 

    GWS (Gave us a real challenge at times. We overcame)
    Saints (See above, but my faith wasn't questioned)
    Sydney (We didn't play particularly well but won a tight one. I'm probably underselling the Swans).
    Carlton (Carlton, I don't care that much)
    Hawthorn (Lost our team focus, with players tripping over each other to cash in. End was pleasing).
    Freo (Was ready to give up on another season despite the win).
    North (Probably the poorest performance of the year. Got the job done). 
    Adelaide (We played better than a few of the games above - but we lost. Simples.)

     


     

    My workings above

    Richmond: A real statement to the AFL world. 

    North: To come back and win, was a real club statement.

    Sydney: Sydney are a physical team who have bested us in the past, it was another breakthrough moment beating them. But we only just had them. Underestimated.

    Bulldogs: Great win against quality.

    Brisbane: Coming from behind to beat the strongest opponent there is, very impressive.

    Hawthorn: They still had confidence at that moment, and I think we were without May, So a good win.

     

    Those were the standouts for me.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
