 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.

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

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.

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 !

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

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
