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

Before opening the thread i assumed Ed Langdon would be number 1

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.

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. .

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
