Not entirely sure about Melksham. Wraps on this forum seem to be huge for him but to me he just seems like a vanilla mid.
Hasn't got the skill set or endurance to be an outside mid but he doesn't have the strength or body to be an effective inside mid.
Needs to have a big pre season to build mass and endurance so he can be effective in both those roles. 3rd season is meant to be the breakout season so I'll see how he goes I guess.

Agree with this. If Stanton was a 9.5 he'd be in the All-Australian team (or, rather, he'd have been cruelly overlooked like Scott Thompson).
Within the spectrum of the ratings, there were only a few I really disagreed with. Stanton and Zaharakis I think are too highly ranked, and I reckon Sam Lonergan should be much higher - may have missed the back half of the year, but he was among our best until then IMO (and definitely a best-22 player when fully fit).

I took my ratings within the context of Essendon's year. They're not ratings against the rest of the competition, just within the team environment. I probably should have made that clearer.
Stanton probably should have got close to the All Australian team, given his year. Compare his season to Dale Thomas. Stats are very similar

Stats schmats
I don't think Stanton was our best player across the whole year. Played some outstanding games, also played some shockers.
Couldn't believe that Stanton's stats were better than Daisy's.
Bloody hell..
Edit: They're probably identical and not really favouring Stanton or Daisy.

Nearly all stats are equal, but clearances and tackles favour Stanton.
Not that it means he had a better year or deserves an AA spot.

Thomas probably has more of an impact on moments - an X-Factor, if you like the term, whereas Stants is a bit steadier. Plus, Thomas is in a far better team. Would be interesting to see how each player went if they played for the other team.

If Knights stayed, you would have seen them on an equal playing field.
Serious? Would have been AA for sure.

Are you guys suggesting Stanton would've been a better player under Knights?
I read it that if Thomas was playing at Essendon under Knights and Stanton playing at Collingwood under Malthouse, they'd be on a level playing field... Not sure if I read it right...
He is intimating that Stanton would have left for Collingwood if Knights stayed.

Ah, gotchya.
#1 Haha. 1/10
#2. Hmm. Not bad, Rick. Not in best 22 calculations, and as a 26yo that's not a good thing, but might well be kept.
#3. Unlucky
#4 Star
#5 "
#6 Very, very good. Possible turning point?
#7. Not sure - actually, revise that, still not sure.
#8 Very, very, very good for 5 minutes. Hope you get back.
#9 Improved, but another knee is not a good thing
#10 Did do some good things. Overall not sure where he sits
#11 Very, very ,very good.
#12 5 good minutes as well, probably not worth keeping on
#13 Who even has this number?
#14 Good foot soldier
#15 Good for 5 minutes as well. Not sure where he stands with Hepp, Ross, Hibberd et al coming through.
#16 Sex machine but broken
#17 Gary Busey! Very good moments. But very inconsistent.
#18 Star
#19 Very good moments as well, arguably should've been rested more.
#20 List has gone past him.
#21 So-so.
#22 Gecko!!!
#23 Pretty decent all things considered, a lot to work with.
#24 Looked OK
#25 Only played 2s, but good 2s form is no bad thing, was always expected to take a little while
#26 Another who starred for half a year.
#27 Like Steinberg, decent 2s form is no bad thing.
#28 Poor man's gumbleton
#29 Role player at best.
#30 Really, really, really good. God-awful 5 weeks in the middle, but fought back superbly.
#31 Can't remember who's got this jumper. Must be a new kid
#32 Lots of late-quarter goals, handy knack to have
#33 Didn't work.
#34 Great first half of the year, workmanlike second half.
#35 Meh
#36 Writing on the wall, apparently, when we decided to put our ruckman in your spot ahead of you.
#37 Did some good things. Not enough
#38 THE BOSS looked alright. Good 2s form is no bad thing, add a very good debut and you have a decent enough debut season.
#39 Star.
#40 Really should buy some different shirts, blue-collar every single week?
#41 Fiddle-dee-dee potatoes
#42 Unsure. Really.
#43 Plays like a Franga bogan too. One to go on with.
#44 Much improved, should start next year.
#45 Who knew??? Who friggen knew??!! Gun!
#46 Who knows, not a complete ****, and from a first-year ruck, that's all you can ask.
#47 Red hair no friends.

Ratings based on 10 being a Chris Judd / Scott Pendlebury year. 0 Being a Mark Williams year.
Bellchambers 4. Coming along and we'd hope to get him to a seven

Colyer 4. See Carlise.

Gumbleton 0. Ouch.
