Mike Sheahan (I think) did a similar article preseason, with A+ and A isntead of superstar/star

 

[jikost]

Yze should be in bold

 

[Marns]

howd u put neitz in bold? wheres jeff white, u know the ALL-AUSTRALIAN ruckman?

 

[scarecrow2k1]

Nah Yze should stay plain, and Neitz shouldn't be bold, Richo is more of a superstar than him

 

[Mead]

Problem with this kind of thing is you are always left looking at players who have shown superstar calibre versus those who produced in 2004.

At West Coast, Judd, Gardiner, Matera and Cousins have had seasons in recent years which would class them as superstars.

Putting everything else to one side and looking purely at their overall production in 2004, it is

Superstars: Judd
Stars: Fletcher, Matera, Kerr, Glass, Cox.

 

[Swarbs]

I just use my feel

 

[tztommo]

Mcleod should be in bold he still isnt finished. watch him next year and he will finish pretty high up in the brownlow.Now that Ayres has left Craig will let him run free in the midfield and rack up the possesions.

tommy

 

[stokesy]

Gee a bit harsh on Kouta, I would have thought he would be classed as a superstar.

 

[Marns]

OK this is melbournes:
White, Yze, Bruce, Brown, Rivers, Miller, McDonald, Green.

 

[masai]

For my enjoyment,
Fremantle: Bell, Pavlich McPharlin, Hasleby

Hasleby is probably at the head now, followed by Bell and McPharlin. Pav would be in 4th, but the media still love him.

 

[Fred]

A very over-used term. Should be reserved for legends of the game and I wouldn't put any more than 3 or 4 current players in that category.

Voss, Buckley, Hird and Harvey would about cover it.

 

[Swarbs]

superstars in team form

Pavlich Scarlett Wanganeen
Buckley Cornes Leppitsch
Lappin Judd Voss
Reiwoldt Tredrea Hird
Akermanis Lloyd Cousins

Ricciuto Black Brown (as ruck)

Harvey, Crawford, Bell

 

[Swarbs]

Voss, Hird, Harvey, Buckley = megastars

 

[Mog]

I'd argue Leppitsch is no longer a superstar. Seems to be down from that a little, but rumour has it there is some kind of private life problem going on with him this year.

 

[Swarbs]

yes, another one I could have chopped

I'd also say it takes 3 superstars to win the comp

you speak the truth.
never have there been so many "champions" running around at any one time when in reality there are so few.
it seems that 1 good season makes you a star. go 2 in a row you're suddenly a superstar and for the few that back it up with a third...well get their HOF nomination ready.
labels like these should be kept in check till at least a player is in the twighlight of his career.

 

[Zeke]

Pavlich

Surely you jest?

Overrated, frontrunning, reciever.

 

[Total Package]

Gee a bit harsh on Kouta, I would have thought he would be classed as a superstar.

I guess if 1 decent season in 10 classes you as a superstar Superdud more like it. Dollar for Dollar he would be the worst player in the AFL today.

 

[tucky_16]

what about jude bolton for swans?? a star for sure!! polled well in the brownlow this year too

 

[tucky_16]

Ablett Junior will be the next superstar.

 

[Kenny_01]

For my enjoyment,
Fremantle: Bell, Pavlich McPharlin, Hasleby

Hasleby is probably at the head now, followed by Bell and McPharlin. Pav would be in 4th, but the media still love him.

Disagree mate,

I'd still have Pavlich or Bell first. McPharlin then 3rd. Hasleby 4th. Longmuir 5th.

 

[tztommo]

what about tyson edwards for adelaide. he wouldnt be on the superstars list but at least on the stars.

 

[Total Package]

Ablett Junior will be the next superstar.

Do superstars duck their heads with 10 mins to go in a preliminary final to turn the ball over and cost you a grand final?

 

[Farrand]

Surely you jest?

Overrated, frontrunning, reciever.

If you're anything to go by, everyone is.
