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.

His haters on Demonland have gone very quiet.

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.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
