MELBOURNE

Kysaiah Pickett (gen forward), Christian Petracca (midfielder), Alex Neal-Bullen (mid-forward), Max Gawn (ruck)

A very good soldier, Neal-Bullen is a surprise on this list. But that speaks to the lack of depth in that position.

The players who didn’t quite make the cut as mid-forwards were Jy Simpkin, Pat Lipinski and Ollie Dempsey.

Neal-Bullen does his job each week but averages just 18.7 disposals and 0.4 goals per game.

Petracca hit the games threshold to make it here before his injury, while Gawn is clear as the top ruck according to player ratings.

    Key defenders seem under represented!

    Houston’s ratings (particularly kick related) have been lights out for 18 months, so no surprise to see him there for Port.

    Whilst we do bag Champion Data, when it doesn't suit our narrative, I am very very pleased for ANB.

    If you looked in the dictionary for quiet achiever...etc etc.

    I’m not. Both have been below their best by a fair way.

    And his long term fans are nodding their heads sagely and saying I told you so.

    Good for Nibbler, a real club stalwart.  Any chance he could win the B&F?

    Judd McVee surely couldn’t have been far off the list. 
     

    I was a critic of ANB and at the end of 2020 would have been happy to see him move on. But now I love the guy, his work rate and commitment to the team is outstanding. We lack a bit of what he brings to the team and he is now one of our more important players. Very happy to see him get any recognition that comes his way.

    He will be up there I would think...not sure if he could win it but he's been consistent.

    How does ANB make the list and not Merrett?

    Richmond have 2 on the list and both look like they'll head back to WA next season... tough times coming for them.

    Merrett is rated significantly higher than ANB, but Merrett is classified as a midfielder and ANB a mid-forward. Merrett is the 15th highest rated player in the competition but most players above him are too.

    It's based on the Player Ratings which you can access here:

    https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_stats.html?year=2024

    The player classifications may differ slightly and wings aren't differentiated from other midfielders on my site.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
