Where would you have them? 

Dogs have an excellent inside mid rotation even without Dunkley. I'd have them second after us. The wings or lack thereof is problematic but the core of their midfield is still excellent.

GWS have what should be one of the better starting trios in the league, with Green, Kelly & Cogs. Finn Callaghan & Lachie Whitfield as wing options too. 

I'd have Dogs #2 & GWS ahead of several teams listed above them on that list.

Alas the game is played on grass & not paper....!

These articles are subjective and based on lasts years stats and trades. 

Giants have / had a lot of talent but always fail to deliver.

Hunter and Dunkley are two massive outs for the dogs, yes they still have Bont, Libba, Macrae and Treloar but losing talent has to hurt. 
 

Cats are another year older, Danger is 32, Gutherie isn’t a gun. 
 

Interesting season ahead, only 5/6 clubs with a real chance.

My top 4 would be Melbourne, Carlton , Brisbane and Dogs.

Richmond ranked at 5 is ridiculous as I would even have the filth ranked above them.

  • Premiership player
  • All Australian
  • 2xB&Fs, including one in a premiership season

He'd be, arguably, in the top half dozen players at Melbourne IMHO.

There’s no arguably about it, no chance, wouldn’t even be top 10.

Not sure about top half dozen...but Guthrie is a jet. Balanced & skilled, would compliment us really well actually!

Regardless of where you rate Gutherie, we have arguably the no.1 midfield in comp, we’ve had the no.1 ranked defence over the last 2 seasons. We finished the H & A season last year 2nd after playing some ordinary predictable football in the back half of the season, along with a few injuries. An argument could be made for our depth compared to other top 4 hopefuls. Barring major injuries to a number of players there are simply no excuses this season, none. Top 2 finish is a must.

If you just go by the center bounce starting four, you could reasonably argue that...

Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Harmes

and

Grundy, Petracca, Brayshaw, Pickett

...would both be in the top 10. Neither would be first, but both sets would compete with any other team at a bounce.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
