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

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.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
