    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

    It's a ragebait click generator and it works every year.

    Robbo's opinion is irrelevant to me.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
