    I thought this competition was "equal".

    Hee!!! That was meant to be funny right Nasher ;) :D ?!!!

    And not really a high price put on defenders really is there?

    Do we underestimate their importance?

    Is this after 4 rounds or would it have been the same done at the start of the season.

  • Quote

    Isn't it interesting that in your top 10 (which I don't disagree with), only 6 clubs are represented. I thought this competition was "equal".

    And only 1 from a Victorian club...

    I'd get rid of Cousins (only because he's not currently in the AFL), bump the others up 1 spot and sneak Lloyd in at 10.

    Other than that I don't fundamentally disagree with the above.

    Simon Black could sneak in.

    Glass and Scarlett would be on the fringes but I wouldn't call them top 10 just yet.

    It'd be interesting to see where the highest Melbourne player would be ranked - would we have one in the top 50?

    Lloyd...

    i was at essendon vs st kilda on the weekend, and Matthew Lloyd is a disgrace

    did not earn one of his goals, dived everywhere, sooked all the time

    how he can be described as a champion is beyond me

    on the other hand, nick reiwoldt is a champion, he faught hard all day, double teamed all the time, and just played football

    people continue to overate dal santo... sure he has good games but he has to do it more than 5-6 times a year... Mcleod is definately still top 10.... class is permanent and he is back to his best....

    Llloyd i wouldnt even have in my top 10..... yes it is painful watching him always looking over his shoulder for a free it looks so ridiculous.... grhhhhhhhhh

    gday mate welcome to the forums. are you hedging your bets in case the north kangaroos really become the north kangaroos? i ope they dont but we'll happily have you on board if they do...

  • Quote

    Cousins out, Brad Johnson in.

    Other than that, not bad.

    Perhaps you could argue that Burgoyne may be replaced by a Lloyd or a Del Santo, but I think it's not a bad top 10. Well done Yze_Magic.

    How can he be described as a champion? Hmmmm....lets see.

    217 games, 784 goals [top 10 on the all time goalkicking list].

    Coleman medal 3 times : 2000, 2001, 2003

    All Australian 5 times : 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003

    Essendon leading goalkicker 9 times, every year from 1997 to 2005.

    Top 3 in our B & F three times : 1997, 1998, 2001

    International Rules Series : 1998, 2001

    Jim Stynes Medal in 2001

    AFL Rising Star nominee in 1996

    Premiership side in 2000

    Pre-season premiership side in 2000

    Club captain 2006-

    Yeah, he's just a talentless hack.

    You obviously didn't notice a couple of Lloyds chases and tackles against St Kilda. Stuff like that seems to go unnoticed when people bag Lloyd. And that's a couple of weeks after Sheedy described his game in Round 1 against Adelaide as one of the best and most unselfish he has seen from captain in his time at Essendon.

    dal santo is a star however i do concede that putting him in my top ten was a bit rich considering i left out a superstar in Mcleod and maybe Scott West, maybe Goodwin/Edwards, Black/Power etc.

    Agree totally!!!

    Kerr is ripping it up and sticking it to his detractors!

    Cornes is an absolute gun and would be a walk-up start in any one of the other 15 clubs!

    Heath Shaw is one of the surprise packets in my view! Having a stellar start to the season!

    Goodes is a great player who has not been at his best so far this season, but is ticking along nicely!

    Barry Hall is unreal.... For a bloke who injured his knee early on this year, he is not showing any sign of it!

    Another 5 I would add....

    Andrew McLeod - Well on the way to a stellar year and maybe another Charlie?!?!?

    Chris Judd - No need to even comment!

    Scott Lucas - Wish we had this sort of option up forward!

    Simon Black - Leading by example to a great group of young cubs!

    Matthew Pavlich - A hard running, strong leading, mark taking leader!

    Adelaide - McLeod

    Brisbane - Black

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
