[Queanbeyan Demon 6,869]

The question is, how many of the other 43 would get a game at Melbourne based on our exposed form in September?

Bontempelli went ok for a half. Could rotate off the bench as an impact player.

Poor Robbo forgot Isaac Heeney exists.

Yes I could squeeze Isaac and a battler called Dusty into our bench rotation!

[Jibroni 5,013]

On first glance Travis Boak should be in the top 20

[Half forward flank 1,022]

Tex Walker in top 50.  No.

Tex Walker shouldn’t even still be on AFL list.

[Gorgoroth 13,023]

Buddy isnt that high any more. And Aliir is not better than Lever.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,970]

Nic Nat overrated as always, 13th best? He averaged 68% TOG and 1.6 marks per game. Completely overrated.

Three of the best five players in the comp, that’s about right and that certainly helps you win games of footy. Oliver or Gawn could easily have been number one. 

[DubDee 26,123]

Remember the days when we hoped Jones would creep into this?

now Fritsch is #16

what a world

It’s a cult; you’ll never convince any of them.

 

 

[Demon_spurs 1,872]

No Dangerfield or Selwood, gladens my heart

[Fanatique Demon 2,657]

So in Robbo’s view, the sixth best player won the Brownlow and there are three Demons in front of him (plus one ineligible).

the problem with the brownlow (apart from it being voted by umpires) is that only 3 players can get votes per game

‘Cult’ is a very good descriptor in this instance, completely agree.

I’d say he’s right. The Brownlow is often won by a midfielder who had a good year in a side where teammates don’t take too many away from them. Wines is a great player, but does he swing games the way the other 5 can? Ditto Sam Walsh.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Is there a thread from the time Mark Jamar snuck in?

[The heart beats true 18,145]

Good to see Touk Miller get some love too. He can come to Melbourne whenever he wants.

As a player. Absolutely. Was easily one of the best forwards this year

Was good without being great this year, definitely not top 50

[DeeSpencer 26,083]

Fritsch is too high. He wasn’t better than the other 6 Dees this year. More like 40th, maybe the 5-6th best goal kicking forward 

Lever was better than May this year.

Gawn not top 5 either. Somewhere between 10-20. He’s had better seasons. Paced himself this year.
