Top 10 most vaulable players on our list

Recommended Posts

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

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 :P

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

Rightio.

Still, bit of a concern.

Bate, Sylvia and Dunn are all massive worries.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Davey is competing with Matty Stokes.

Matty Stokes >>>>>>> Davey

6 - Morton

7 - Batram

8 - Bell

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
