Scarlett's there as he is the best defender in one of the best defences in the league. For the record, how many goals did he concede this year? 15? 20? Did he get shown up in any of the finals? Kosi didn't get a touch after quarter time in the first, he was just about our best in the second and was one of only 3 or 4 decent players in the prelim.

He does more grunt work than any other one of our midfielders. You actually have no idea. Has turned a game many a time for us this year through his core strength in packs. His best and fairest win should indicate just how much the coaches rate his work when we turn to him.
Would much rather see Aussie Guns top fifty.
Would be quite good I think.

Safe to say if Sandi played for one of Mike's Victorian clubs he'd be top 5 easily.

As has already been stated. Look at the contetx of the game. When a team is getting smashed, as we were, you have to do anything to try and create opportunity. And to make it more intense, it was a finals game. When the pressure is so high, as collingwood puts on, and when it is a final, you sometimes have to just try and create opportunity. Which is what Griffen tried to do.
As for your comment about his goals, have you seen the goals he kicks? They are often in good passages of play from the team, and sometimes with his damaging runs through the lines. Everything he does gains momentum for us. He never goes for snap goals that look awesome. He always gets them on the run from around 50m-60m. I can remember 1 flashy goal he has kicked, and that was against Freo this year.

He never played on any teams gun forward. He played on the duds. I could get less than 10 goals kicked on me by the duds.
Brian Lake is the best defender. Liar.

Scarlett had an ok year, but down on his standards to be honest. The guy is one of the best full backs in the history of the game but this year I dont honestly think he should be in the top 50 players, especially when you consider some of the players who were left out. Watson, Cross and Reiwodlt to name a few. I know Reiwoldt only played 15 games but Scarlett only played 18, and Roo had a major impact in more games than scarlett this year.

Yep, he did. But it definately wasn't ranked 37th in the AFL.
Everyone knows Sheahan is an idiot, but can someone explain how he is not even consistent in his own little head?
Case in point:
In his top 50 at the start of the season, Heath Shaw was the highest ranked Collingwood player, 20 something overall.
In his top 50 at the end of the season, Heath Shaw misses out and falls behind about 6 Collingwood players.
Compare Shaw's 2009 to 2010 and they are virtually identical. Shaw average 1 less possession per game this year, but he also starred in a Grand Final win. How could Shite possibly justify changing Shaw's rank so drastically?

Why is Brian Lake a liar?

209 kicks 363 handballs. Even Jobe knows his kicking is not at AFL standard.
I like this from Wikipeda "He was initially coached as a key forward by Kevin Sheedy, who also coached his father Tim. His poor kicking (by AFL standards) drew criticism, and it was determined he would be more suited to the midfield at Essendon".
50m lob? lol - He gives it everything and he is lucky to kick it 45 meters.

Firstly it is still correct - his kicks when he does kick are little 20 metre chips - anything further can go anywhere.
Secondly I am sour really sour - Essendon were the worst team in 2010 and we helped you into 14th.

I know a lot of idiots. They don't have to be consistent in their own heads. They aren't. They don't understand themselves or what they're talking about. Ever. I have no idea why a thread about something Mike ****ing Sheahan has written is 13 pages long, the man cannot write or speak to save his life.

I can't quite understand the furore of Watson not making it. Good ordinary footballer. Very overrated on BF.

Didak at 14...???
LOL
The guy could keep his jumper clean in a mud wrestling match.
I guess you don't have to get the hard ball when you're in Sheahan's top 20...

Why do you have to get the hardball to be top 20?
Oh sorry, forget you can't be good if you are a soft outside player.
It would be impossible.
He did have a better year who knows what could of happened in the 5 games Buddy missed could of kicked 5 goals could have kicked 5 in each game but games missed or not if Jack beats him again next year that's somthing.Oh and Riewoldt > Franklin.

yeah hilarious isn't it. Didak could kick twice as many goals and make fools of twice as many opponents and never be considered worthy of top 20 status because he's not a hard nut. doesn't mean he's not brilliant
