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 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
