Think Tank Mofra's Lazy Bottom 40 for 2025

My top 10 prediction in no particular order:
Mason Cox
Simpkin
Some other Norf spud (e.g. Tucker had 0 disposals from 69% TOG in his last game if you need ideas Mofra )
Tim Kelly
Tom Lynch
Curnow
Owies
Oliver
Bailey Sniff
JUH
Missing Dangerfield
 
Curnow may have checked out which is fair enough.

But you are right. He did suck.
Pretty much every Essendon and Carlton player checked out. Going 4 straight games without a goal would get a lot of KPFs on the list, let alone a Coleman medallist
Missing Dangerfield
It's between him and Sniff but Danger had the prelim performance and is (slightly) less of a flog off field

Danger had a great prelim but then won the Leon for one of the worst Grand Finals that has been played

Won't be popular, but on the field Smith had a far better season, not even close. Dangerfield's prelim was great but it was an outlier if anything.

Surely Mofra wouldn’t be that petty to name Sniff at number 1.

You never know.. he was touted to be the missing link in Geelong’s premiership aspirations… just too bad he failed badly on the big day and probably would have won the Leon if it wasn’t for his captain’s heroics

Fortunately for sniffy theres another recently departed, gear loving bulldog to draw his ire.
JUH doesn’t qualify as he didn’t play a match this year.
Jobe Watson got a * ranking a few years back because with his doping it was impossible to say whether he made the bottom 50 on merit.

Vaguely remember Josh Bootsma also getting in there one year without playing
 
Sniff had a decent season. Gawwy Lyon didn't gift him a 'stang but his on field footy was not the worst in 2025.

Off field, he's a right doozie. Maybe that's another list.

nightmare blunt rotation

(the eshay is Charlie Clarke, who played one game for 50% TOG, negative player rating, and an attempt to get into it with James Sicily, then got delisted)

Player #25 - Jake Lever
1763623925531.png
Pictured: One good turn deserves another

Jake Lever is a Melbourne demons player who has somehow survived their implosion / rebuild in 2025 despite his demotion from 'best 22 lock' to 'fringe player' to 'older guy telling stories at training'.

After a fruitful round 1, 2025 was a bit of an annus horribilus for Jake. He'd only play 7 more AFL games for the year, a few VFL games, and he stood by watching the team reach the dizzying heights of 14 (or as Elvis calls that number, "just right").

There is a reason - Jake Lever is great at peeling off and intercepting, but teams no longer allow him to do that. He was never that great one on one but this year he was even worse. As one Melbourne fan noted, the only part of his game he maintained this year was 'pointing and looking exasperated' which isn't that hard because my teachers used to do that all the time. My grade 4 teacher fortunately spent most of his time telling off the class Kiwi though, who I found intimitating because he was hairy and much bigger than the rest of us. Probably because he was 15.

Anyway Melbourne have a real thing for stupidly long contracts because Jake Lever is a fringe player contracted out until 2028, an agreement that made about as much sense as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's wedding contract.
Although it's probably a bit unfair to compare a member of a drug fuelled raucous house-wrecking disaster of an organisation to a member of Motley Crue.

Fun fact: Jake Lever had an acrimonious split from the Adelaide Crows who wouldn't let him attend their B&F after he requested a trade to Melbourne, then (allegedly) fixed the voting so he finished outside of the top 10 (which cost him a bonus). At the time Taylor Walker criticised Lever for chasing money over success, and we know it was really Walker who wrote the the comments because he spelled it "mony".

Jake, good luck next year and for the many years after that. Welcome to the Bottom 40 for 2025.

Nah, he spelt it “irony”.
