Is his dominance somehow underappreciated amongst the football media?

Just Cal’s opinion, but…

Would be interested to know what it is based on - body of work, last year, peak performance, potential?

Also, wouldn’t all Australian count for something?  Club b and f finishes?

 Seems like he just made it up as he felt like it.

Jeremy Cameron at 35? Based on what? His stellar season last year????

Based on running into Lachie Henderson and gifting top spot to the Dees.

IMO it's because Oliver has a face only a supporter or coach could love. Petracca is more marketable, so he gets the wider community's plaudits.

Jordan DeGoey at 46 but no Bayley Fritsch...

Have a spell Callum Twomey and stick to reporting on the draft.

it’s based in cal(I better Google him) 2me’s mind I reckon buck. We have a strong argument too have 22 PREMIERSHIP  players in any top fifty right now, we have no weaknesses on any line, with depth too back it up. Be humble Dee’s and give it too em all on the field of our dreams.

Christian Salem still underrated.

Spot on M.

The discussion during the season was often how a team needs to stop Salem (amongst others) to succeed. No-one ever did really, and he had 10 posseis in the GF first 1/4. All effective.

Yet rated in the 40's. Go figure. Better than Daniel for sure.

These lists are only released to create a bit of discussion, but Zak Butters at 25?  Kid could be anything but hasn't done a heap yet.

And I think De Goey has played 3 good games in his career (two were against us).

Not to comment on his quality as a person but De Goey is comfortably a more talented player than Fritsch.

His best season at full forward is comparable to Fritsch’s and he can be a 28+ possession inside mid for half a season off little preseason. 

Fritsch is one of the hardest players in the comp to rank. Personally I’d go with a number of gun midfielders, talls, two way small forwards and elite defenders before I’d get to Fritter. Might find room for him in the 40’s but he needs a second elite season before I’d consider anything like top 40.

He is grossly underrating Bayley Fritsch. Robbo had him at 16 in his last list, which was perhaps a fraction high but still much closer to his true standing that not even in the Top 50. LOL!

On a wider lens, there is no way in hell seagulls like Merrett and McCrae (and even Walsh if I'm being harsh) are better than Tomahawk and Toby Greene.

I’d say Butters was close to top 50 in 2020. Cal’s betting on him resuming that trajectory. But it does seem inflammatory that he’s skipped the 30’s and 40’s and lobbed him in at 25

Parish is overrated at # 22 as it is based on 2/3 of last season when other key mids (Shiel and McGrath) weren't playing.

He will be a good player but needs to put in that performance for a few years to deserve a ranking in the top 3% of players.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
