In my opinion, these are the 10 most important players on the list in terms of the MFC going forward after 2008

1. Cale Morton

2. Nathan Jones

3. Jared Rivers

4. Colin Sylvia

5. Matthew Bate

6. Adam Maric

7. Clint Bartram

8. Aaron Davey

9. Brock McLean

10. Lynden Dunn

last spot a toss up between Dunn, Frawely, Petterd, Grimes and Buckley

Now, 18-24 months ago there is no doubt this list would have contained the names Neitz, Robertson, Whelan, Green, Bruce and White

But things change in a hurry in footy. We have to invest in the future, and Bailey knows that

Be prepared for plenty more drubbings in 2008, but it will be worth it in the long run

Dunn in our top 10? *snigger*

LOL, we're screwed, LOL

Oh man, eveytime I think about it I laugh

I'd put Neitz at number one.

If he plays well and is kicking goals it means the whole team is up and running, Aaron Davey in second spot then probably Rivers and Carrol because of where they play.

The rest can have a raffle (but White and Johnson get extra tickets because of where they play)

Disagree. It's at the stage where Neitz plays ok IF the team plays well, rather than the other way around.

I'm interested to know what team you follow mate.

Rivers is No. 1 for mine, but if they are our best 10, we are up [censored] creek without a boat, let alone a paddle.

They are not our best 10, not yet anyway

But our 10 most important going forward

if the team is playing well and Neitz is only ok then logic says for him to be having a good game Melbourne are dominating

he's still the captain of the side and one of the few who leads by example and is willing to offer everything he has for the team.

I barrack for Essendon, just signed up to found out how Trent Zomer was going and I've just sorta stuck round

And the 10 least valuable

1. Cameron Bruce

2. Mark Jamar

3. Brad Miller

4. Jace Bode

5. Russell Robertson

6. Colin Garland

7. Matthew Warnock

8. Chris Johnson

9. Isaac Weetra

10. Matthew Whelan

Rightio.

Still, bit of a concern.

Bate, Sylvia and Dunn are all massive worries.

1. Cale Morton

2. Nathan Jones

3. Jared Rivers

4. Colin Sylvia

5. Matthew Bate

6. Adam Maric

7. Clint Bartram

8. Aaron Davey

9. Brock McLean

10. Lynden Dunn

Last year McLean would have been first on your list and Newton would have been close behind. What has changed? 2 bad games in McLean's case, 1 bad game in Newton's case. They will improve over the course of the season.

FWIW...

1. Nathan Jones

2. Brock McLean

3. Matthew Bate

4. Jared Rivers

5. Ricky Petterd

6. James Frawley

7. Michael Newton

8. Cale Morton

9. Jack Grimes

10. Addam Maric

9. Isaac Weetra

10. Matthew Whelan

In my opinion, these are the 10 most important players on the list in terms of the MFC going forward after 2008

1. Cale Morton - who knows how this kid could turn out. Another Sylvia or a superstar

2. Nathan Jones

3. Jared Rivers

4. Colin Sylvia

5. Matthew Bate

6. Adam Maric

7. McLean

8. Bartram

9. Moloney

10. Davey

Bell doesent even make my 10

Clint Bartram and Matthew Bate

They will be our best and most valuable players when they are fit

No tall player in the Top 10!

We are going to be limited in that regard for the future if the No 1 ruck cannot get at least birth 9 or 10.

Disappointingly we have only one player that would make the Cats line up. Even though they have a great backline Rivers would get a game.

That's it.

Agree Rhino ... and if we are looking at our most valuable going forward, I would find a spot for PJ. Only two games in, but IMO he's shown more than most, and enough to suggest that he can develop into a pretty solid ruckman if given the opportunity.

When on form, Davey would replace Byrnes, who is a very ordinary footballer playing for a very extraordinary team.

aka 2006. A bit long in the tooth I think.

Davey is competing with Matty Stokes.

1 - Rivers

7 - Batram

8 - Bell

9 - Grimes

10 - Petterd

There aint a Lance Franklin in that list. Good midfield though.

Mines not quite the same, but in the vacinity. I'd probably put Batram and Bell above McLean.

PJ??!! Am I the only person who thinks that the guy is slower than the rabbit the Duracel bunny beat?

Gee, no Newton. Now there's a surprise.

Yes.

Once he hits full tilt I guarantee he's quicker than you think

Dunn in our top 10? *snigger*

LOL, we're screwed, LOL

Oh man, eveytime I think about it I laugh

AGREED!

And he's in again this week....

dunn is going backwards and is totally immobile.

i think simon buckley should scrape in because of his ability to break the lines, and when he starts to kick like he did for sandringham then he'll be a gun.
