Effort Players

Featured Replies

Kane Cornes has named his seven best effort players in the competition right now.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/04/24/greatest-effort-player-the-game-has-ever-seen-cornes-top-seven-maximum/

This is the list and a great acknowledgement for Gawn who through sheer effort has made himself a champion.

Kane Cornes’ top seven effort players in the competition below

7. Max Gawn (Melbourne)

“Watched him last night diving over boots, getting back in the hole, taking contested marks, he’s turned himself obviously into a star player, but the inspiration he provides and the effort for his team…”

6. Jacob Weitering (Carlton)

“I wanted to give the key position players some love. Jacob Weitering is a great trier.”

“One-on-one, never gets beaten.

“He’s running back, he’s out of position, gets a hand in, gets a glove in and brings the ball to ground.”

5. Brayden Maynard (Collingwood)

“Just a good trier.”

4. Toby Greene (GWS Giants)

“Just watch him. Watch the effort that he provides. Tagged every week, players hanging off him … he falls to the ground, gets back up.”

3. Ben Keays (Adelaide)

“He just gives incredible effort each and every week.”

2. Touk Miller (Gold Coast)

1. Joel Selwood (Geelong)

 

Keays #1 

Bloke looks like he's about to have a heart attack every time he pops onto your screen

It’s not an effort for Langdon, I’ve barely seen him break a sweat!


"Christ, I've got hours of airtime to fill in and no ideas. Get thinking ... think think ... nuh. Where's the dictionary? Abbreviate ... nuh ... clergyman ... what the hell's that? ... earphone ... nuh ... effigy ... effort! Top ten effort players! Jeez ... ten? Are there ten? I'll go seven. Top seven effort players. Just pull a few out here and there ... who's gunna contradict me? I'll just phone this in to the work experience intern ... and ... done. Add some talkback and that's Monday taken care of."

We have a whole team of effort players.

Jordon ran from one end of the ground to the other last week just to get a finger on the ball.

Nobody plays in our team that isn't an effort player.

ANB - works like a dog every week to make himself undroppable

Wash your mouth out. Surely he works like a demon!!!

I've never seen a player put in more effort week in week out than Clarry. His will to win is truly immense.

Clarry was filthy with the dissent-50 called against him last week. The look in his eye (reminiscent of both he and Trac in the third quarter of the GF) and determination to win the ball immediately thereafter. Suggests he has another gear and isn't always going 100%. Not a knock at all. My favourite player in the history of football. He doesn't need to be full-steam. But I wouldn't put him in my top-7 effort players. Pickett is up there though, for those thinking he needs a rest. .

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
