Oliver @ 43 is an outright joke. If its based on 2023 performance only, fair enough but then how do you have Sicily @ 11 who missed almost as much footy as Oliver through injury. 

Just doesnt add up. #muppet.

I’m generally not one for knocking “top player lists”, they’re somewhat subjective, but mainly, I just don’t care. But, this list (Robbo‘s) is terrible.

Oliver at 43 is plain insanity.

Having Zak Butters at 2 was ridiculous. Very good player but no way number 2.

Hard to argue with the Readers top 10. I agree with Larkey at 7. Excellent player

Ragebait is an excellent description.

As adults, I find it strange behaviour to go around telling other adults that you believe someone is better at something than someone else!

Isn't this what umpires do when they award votes?

not sticking up for the list exactly but i believe it is based on who is the top players for 2024. i.e who will be the best by end of season. so some guess work / predicting involved

Let’s be honest… none of us will be happy with any of these lists unless the top 10 players are all Dees. 😅

Robbo makes Mike Sheahan seem like Einstein ! 
 

Robbo seems such an appropriate name. Conveys a suitable bogan image of a character with poor habits and not too many neurons. A la Sir Les Patterson. Apologies to all the Robbos out there!

Genuinely, supporting Port Adelaide might be the only thing worse than these lists.

You should probably apologise to the family of Barry Humphries, too, for equating Robbo with Sir Les.

True. Sir Les was entertaining and funny and of course a great Ambassador for the country.

No May in the top 50. That was enough for me. The ESPN list is alot more balanced and logical.

It's funny isn't it.

It's now completely accepted that teams are nor going anywhere near a flag without an elite defence.

Footy media bang on about all the time. And every year the brownlow gets, rightly in my view, for being a midfielder award

And then all the media awards go to mids. Coaches award too I guess, but al least defenders get votes.

And then a top 50 from the head footy writer at the hun doesn't include the best defender in the best defence in the AFL. 

And has Moore at 22 and weitering at 36. 

Curiously he has Tom Stewart at 19. A gun no doubt. Better than Moore, weitering and may? Big call.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
