 Number 1 is a casual 7 years passed his best.

Number 2 won’t be there for the first 5-6 weeks of 2022 if there’s any justice.

Number 3 only shows up when he wants, and if there’s not a stray teenager on offer.

So yeah, not a great list.

Der -wayne is a dead set doorknob

 

Dwayne is the worst commentator in Australia why are we taking any notice of his rubbish?

Yep same guy that said Jackson wouldn’t make it as a ruckman…🤣


NO OLIVER?‽? WHAT A DEESGRACE!

 

My top 10 most watchable:

1. Kozzy Pickett - magic happens!

2. Isaac Heeney - if he's injury free he'll be nearly the best player in the comp.

3. Liam Ryan - pace, leap, execution!

4. Charlie Cameron - the next Betts.

5. Harry McKay - reckon he's in for a 70 plus season.

6. Christian Petracca - who wouldn't want to see more of Norm?

7. Dustin Martin - legend of the game.

8. Shai Bolton - always exciting. Can mess it up but won't die wondering.

9. Toby Greene - mainly just enjoy watching him self-destruct.

10. Scott Pendlebury - my favourite non-demon

Yuck De Goey before Trac. SEN it’s time to move Dwayne on I think. 

Toby Greene at 2:-  give it a spell. Stole Fritzal’s AA spot.

I'm not going to go all out in defence of Dwayne but the list is meant to be something other than just a best players list. 

All three of your descriptions are almost definitions of why they're on the list.

The first might not play too many more games (so see him while you can). The second might flip out and kick an umpire in the face and the last one is a real piece of work that might have 25 disposals and kick 5 or he could decide he couldn't be bothered and walk around the field sulking.

They're kind of the definition of box office. If Stephen Milne still played, he'd be a shoe in.

That list has all the hallmarks of a Hutchy employee in footy offseason trying to generate some outrage and controversy to get someone to call in. Petracca at eight seriously. 

De Goey and Stringer, if you ordered Petracca off Wish. 
 


Derwaynne - I would watch Kozzie, Tracy, Clarrie, Max and Jacko before most of those.   (Maybe I am a bit biased) 🙄

My list (excluding Melb players due to bias:- koz, Trac, Oliver, Jacko, Gawn, Fritsch, Salem would all feature)

 

1.  Bont              (Class & match winner)

2.  Liam Ryan    (Excitement, weekly hangers)

3.  Dusty             (Don’t argue)

4.  Nic Nat          (Freakish ruck-taps)

5.  Josh Kelly      (Skill + ability to hit a target)

6.  Buddy       (The strut, and bombs from 60m) 

7.  C. Cameron   (Speed, stupid celebrations) 

8.  Robbie Gray    (Class/skill/match-winner)

9.   Danger       (Explosiveness)

10. Greene      (Mad, head explosions) 

 

 

I get the "Box Office Buddy" thing as all eyes will be on him until he's kicked the 1000.

But Sam Walsh ? Box Office ? Fantastic young player, amazing work rate. Gets to contest after contest. But he's about as exciting as a cardboard box !

Dead set flogger.

If one likes watching a player get fatter as each season passes then De Goey is your man. Greene is outrage porn.

Robbie Gray has been one of my favourite non Melbourne players to watch for a while now but I think he's done & I can't think of anyone who would get me through the gate.

I agree on Gray. 

It's funny you should say you can't think of anyone, other than a dees player, who would get me through the gate, so to speak.

Box office in sen speak.

None readily comes to mind either.

Perhaps Toby Greene, who leaving aside being a prize fool, is an out an out star. Plays like a kpd and has the skills of small.

The giants have let him down though. Tbey should have refused to go in to bat for him with the umpire charge.

(And of course he has let them down a million times)

Apparently being voted the best player in a GF and producing on the biggest stage of all isn't very watchable these days 😥.

I heard about 3 minutes of this and turned it off. 
it just made no sense 

Luke Jackson, Clarry and Tracc have just ripped the game apart and hardly got a mention. 
it was a ridiculous segment

  • 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?
