Parish at 12th??? He gets the ball however his disposal is not always the best. Improve that side of his game and I would agree.

He was the best clearance player in the league once he went in to the midfield full time and a semi regular goal kicker. He’s not a great kick but has excellent quick hands. And when it comes to kicking from the high volume inside mids it’s Bont and Merrett, daylight, Petracca’s risk/reward kicks, more daylight then everyone else. 12 might even be a bit low!

    I've read the list ten times now.  No Dusty... what the?   I know he missed five matches at the end because of his injury, but that's only a couple more than Tex for his brain explosion.  

    There’s a case that Dusty was probably somewhere in the 40’s as he had 3-4 dominant Dusty games from his 16 or so, but there were a lot of games where he looked underdone and did very little defensively. 
     

    2.2 tackles, 66% efficiency, 5.3 turnovers from 23 touches, there’s some stats to point out he wasn’t anywhere near his best

    When players like Dusty and Dangerfield don't play the whole season or play at a standard just below their best, the Journalist forget how good they are compared to players who play 22 to 26 games in the season.

    The perfect example is the player of the final series was decided on Macrea's 4 games v's Petracca's 3 Games which is like handing out the Brownlow after the Grand Final with the finals included.

    Yep. One-third of his goals for the year were kicked in round 22 and beyond. 

    7 - 1 - 4 - 2 - 6

    Brilliant return at the business end of the season but not the 16th best player in the comp. 

    the list is not 50 best players. It’s best players for the year, where he has acknowledged finals performances get a greater weighting. 

    6 goals in a granny, 59 goals for the year, and key cog in a successful fwd line = warranted 16th spot.

    Line up a schoolyard pick and Gawn goes top 5 on this years performances. Easy. 
     

    Fritsch gets a caning on here anyway so I’m not surprised people don’t rate him at 16. 60 goals for a forward pocket, some key forwards don’t even get a sniff at that these days. Every coach will kill for that. 
     

    Dusty wasn’t great even when he was playing. Missed with the kidney, Hibberd didn’t let him touch it and missed the next game so there’s another 2 he was absent. 
     

    Decent list from the buffoon. 
     

    And this Brownlow mindset has got to go, it means [censored] all.

    I assume from Dustin Martin's omission that this list is of the best 50 performers in 2021 rather than 50 best players in the competition now. That's fine...but I still think Martin should have made the top 50.

    And I obviously missed too many Sydney games. Was Buddy really that good this year? I appreciate he made the All-Australian squad, but I didn't think he was a particularly impactful player.

    Premium 3rd tall forwards rarely get the recognition they deserve. Luke Breust never gets the kudos for kicking 440 goals. Even Robert Flower when he played exclusively forward in a role similar to Fritsch in his final season is mostly remembered for his role as a great winger. Topping our goal kicking in the breakout 87 season is not often mentioned.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
