salo. 48 thought he would be higher

7 in top 48  3 in top 5 

 

Three in the top 5? In such a ruthlessly competitive competition? That's extraordinary. So is 7 in the top 50. Let's not whinge about it. Totally subjective, after all.

Is it only us who notice Christian Salem??

He is a gun. His 1st Quarter in the GF was 10/10

i just don’t understand why he is so underrated…

He’s brilliant SWYL, as tough as they come without the fanfare. Don’t understand it either. At least Max pointed out his first quarter of the GF in the doco, along with Gus’s third quarter and Trac’s overall game.

Did he waste a kick in that 1st Quarter?

These kind of lists are all subjective, of course. Robbo loves his footy but isn't really the most astute judge. It's just one blokes opinion and to be fair he did spend quite a bit of last year holed up in a hospital bed.

I do agree with many posters that Salem is criminally underrated by many. In some ways he is our most important player. I hate the expression but he is the 'quarterback' of our team. If opposition teams can close him down then that goes a long way to beating us. He's kind of like our first line of defence but also the architect of our spread.

I love Fritta but he is a little too high especially compared to Salem and Lever.

Seriously trying to remember when Franklin last dominated a game. 
At least 2-3 years

Can’t understand the lack of love for Langdon. He is not rated by any “experts”. He is such a vitual cog for us.

He was heading towards AA, but wasn't quite as good after missing a match with concussion. The back half of the season wasn't as good. He's one of my favourite players.

When the heat was white hot in the GF 1st qtr Salo was out of the stratosphere. IMO he is now an elite A grader and should be rated much higher in the Top 50. 
As someone once said of him “ he’s as hard as a cats’ head”. One of my very favourite players.

I think there's a legit typo.

Zak Butters at 25.  125 perhaps? Maybe should be Zac Bailey?

Averaged 18 touches, 3 tackles and less than a goal a game last year.

I can’t access the article, is it Robbo’s list of who he thinks are the top 50 players going into 2022 or his list of top 50 players to watch?

This list is not about where the players start the season, but where they will end the season.

Happy for the pundits and opposition to keep on underestimating him. Their lack of respect helped us win a premiership. May they continue to show such irreverent behaviour towards all our stars.

Trac was asked on AFL360 to name his top 5… he named Buddy as his number 5.

Is Brayshaw perpetually underated?

He famously came 3rd in the Brownlow without even getting invited.

He was our best player in the premiership quarter in our first premiership in 57 years.

he got all the clayton votes in 2018 cos clarry talks back too much...and the brownlow, by dint of being decided by those who shall not be questioned, is a pretty invalid way of looking at performance

gus was 14th in our b&f in a premiership year

he definitely saved his best performance for last tho!

I dont think he is. Everyone has a stellar game here and there and Brayshaw definately had a strong GF and final series, otherwise his 2021 was meeting expectations.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
