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.

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.

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.

    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
