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.

Bombers lol

Surprised Lever or may didn’t make the key def

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.

Barrass and Govern for WC, which makes sense

 

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
