I remember when lists like these came out we'd have none!

    You gotta be joking - Franklin (11) and Hawkins (12) they are on their last legs . they need walking sticks to get themselves onto the ground.. Give me a break Robbo.

    The other question I seriously have is... Is Bontempelli really that good ? He is not in my book a Number 2...

    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…

    Correct should be in top 20 in the competition, also where is ED LANGDON??? Easily in top 50 easily!!

    IMV It should read 1 Oliver 2 Tracc 3 Gawn 4 Bontempelli then the rest!

    Agreed. Let him be under the radar. Certainly was a key player all through 2021 and especially on GF Day. Salem is a star.

    It's always insightful to read expert's conclusions after their thorough research...

    Please let me know when he releases his 'top 50 reds under $10'.

    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.  

    Rowan Marshall at 15?

     

    Above Jack Steele even?

     

    Slobbo write this in his bar seat in the inverloch pub again?

    I like when he has a few throws at the stumps.

    Marshall is fit this year, was completely stuffed with injuries last year. And will get a lot of ruck minutes. It’s not unreasonable to suggest he’ll be the 2nd best ruck in the comp.

    I love Zak Butters too, but he belongs in the 40’s with Bailey Smith and Zac Bailey, not in the 20’s with McCluggage.

    That said, if you’re going to gamble on young players on the up then I think going Gawn at 5, Fyfe at 6, Buddy and Hawkins at 11, 12. Mitchell 40 and Grimes 41 is also going with a heap of veterans. I’d shift all of those back a few rungs.
     

    Fritsch is also way too high. May, Lever, Salem are all comfortably better players than him.

    Your continued under valuing of Fritta in comparison to our champion defenders is very strange.  He has now started to average more than 2 goals a game in the best AFL competition in the land. And he keeps oN improving. His bags over 2 per game including a stellar Finsls Series in the last half of the season were a sure sign of Bsyley being at the top of his game. 6 in the GF was nearly Norm Smith Medal standard.

    You are also still one of the very few that have not recognised the skills and improvement inc. tackling and pressure in Bayleys game. Time  to admit you are wrong and give credit where credit is due.

    There’s no evidence of significant improvement in his tackling and pressure. A little better, sure, but not a lot.

    Im also rating him belong 3 defenders who have had AA level seasons over the last 2 years. I’m not saying he’s behind Jayden Hunt.

    He finished 11th in our B+F. So I’m happy to be in the camp with the premiership coaches rather than Robbo and a bunch of other forum members.

    Was extremely stiff not to get All Aus guernsey. By the end of the final series it was clear which one of he & Bailey Dale was the more effective player under pressure.

    Spot on and these so called “Expert Hacks” have had all summer to watch the Final Series, and still he is not rated!

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

    I think that over the course of his career Buddy would easily be a top 5 player. He was a freak. He still is, he is just on his last legs. 

    The issue is we need to start separating these lists into "top 50 of the last decade" vs "top 50 of the last year". Because those lists do change with time, but some 'experts' don't want to move on.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
