Glen Archer
Iron Mike has Archer, Carey, Kouta, R.Harvey and Ottens on his stars under an injury cloud list (fitness will detemine impact).
There are some serious flaws in this list. The following anomolies stand out like dog's balls:
1. Buckley at no. 9 is too low
2. Leppitsch at no.8 is too high
3. Rocca at no.16 is way too high
4. Whitnall at no.16 is way too high
5. Everitt at no.28 is way too high (not a top 50 player)
6. Hayes at no.32 is way too high (not a top 50 player, what was he thinking?)
7. J.Smith at no.34 is too high
8. C.Bruce at no.39 is way too high (not a top 50 player, what was he thinking?)
9. A.Yze at no.41 isway too high
9. Clement at no.47 is too high (not a top 50 player, what was he thinking?)
10. A.Simpson at no.43 is too low
My understanding of this list is that it is a prediction for the 2003;which explains the inconsistentcies of his selections ie:
Hird and Everitt picked on their reputations whilst Hayes and Bruce picked on potential. However by the same token, the logic of some the selections just do not stack up.
Where is C.McKernan, D.King, A.Stevens, C.Grant, A.Lynch, J.Hay, S.Camporarle and M.Ricciuto? All these players, with the exception of Stevens, are gamebreakers. All are currently fully fit. Their best is better than half the clowns on this list.
Personally I don't think Iron Mike has a good enough understanding of the game and the roles of each player (even though he did play for Werribee), to be judging the best in the competition. But by the same token, the real idea is to sell newpapers and create discussion.
Even though I do not like Walls, I respect his opinion and his list much more than Sheahan's. I would love to see Brereton's top 50, because it would give an insight into the role the player performs and their relative importance to the team. I guarantee it would be a vastly different list.

Joel Smith, not a bad player when he plays. Injuries last year should have left him being selected on 2001 form, I thought you required some form in 2002?.
Ramanauskus better than Hasleby, interesting but I suppose it helps if he sees one team play more than the other.
Jonathan Brown, like his style but obviously picked on potential as last year he was not at his best.
No Headland?, oh well I think he'll take that on the chin and just go out and prove he is worthy of a top 50 position by years end.

For me, Buckley is the only one I have a problem with...should be a bit higher..as to Yze, you must not be serious in wanting him ahead of Mark Johnson or Adam Ramanauskas!!!
Be interesting to see what the players 51-100 were, but we'll never know.

After tonights performance he will be lucky to make the top 100 next year.

Tarrant
Tarrant in the top 50 players in the league !!!!! roflmao
Is this guy on drugs or what......
Tarrant is probably the most overrated, scrub that, definately the most overrated player in the league by a country mile. The guy takes one mark in his career and everyone thinks he is a superstar.....
Don't think I've ever seen him play a good game.
And before you all shoot me down Collingwood supporters, its OK, we love the fact the you all think he is so great..... so dillusional...lol

Lance's 2002 was excellent for the absolutely terrible midfield he had serving him up. The problem was his injury, but up til then he was probably 2nd best (but behind Tredrea, NOT Rocca).
I agree that Tredrea should've been above Whitnall, but I don't believe Rocca has ever been better than Whitnall, not last year, not never. I would've had Tredrea about 15th, Lance 25th, Rocca about 30th.

I think it's obvious that Mike doesn't rate KP defenders that aren't dynamic at rebounding.
Ok now for the usual rant about Collingwood players missing out.
I think perhaps Burns could of squeezed in to the Top 50. Tarrant is a tad overated, he should just miss out of the Top 50.
Joel Smith is a joke, he has a great season, and then has a crap one but gets a higher position than his great season. Either Mike is on the wacky tobacky or 90% of AFL players just got crapper.

Definately don't agree with Peter Bell being left out. Deserved to be in that Top 50 more than the likes of Smith, Everitt, Rocca etc.
Or Scott West.
Apparently getting the football isn't as important as it used to be.
Brad J
Brad Johnson deserves to be higher. For his size is the best mark in the comp and while Brown and Darcy are imortant he is the bulldogs best player - and he won our b & f last year. Kicks plenty of goals and is very damaging when playing as a midfielder
Week in week out he is nearly impossible to match up - should be top 10 imo.

I cant beleive some of the names that are on the list eg..Clement
& some of the names that are not..eg Headland
& some of the names that are not..eg Headland
dont worry presti only had 20 goals against him all of last year, but because he dont attack and kick goals doesnt get ****.... everyone has there own opinion, mine is McCloud should be no.1. and voss 2nd, buckley round 5, he isnt the best player on our list, try watching games, id say clement and rocca are, followed by burns and licca then bucks. ppl only go by wat they read tho just like after reading this ppl will think leppa is the best backman around.

Re: Re: Brad J
Good Golly, 2 games don't make a season. Bruce is a good player, but if u are trying to say he's better than Johnson u are in a fairy land
And in future u might wanna consider not making stuff up. These are the head to heads for last season:
Round 5 Melbourne v Dogs
Johnson 12 kicks, 9 handballs, 2 goals 3
Bruce 9 kicks, 1 handball, 1 goal 1
Round 20 Melbourne v Dogs
Johnson 8 kicks, 1 handball, 2 goals
Bruce 9 kicks, 0 handballs, 0 goals
Yep, Bruce killed him

Apparently Glenn Archer's All Oz, top 3 B&F form of last year in a team that played finals footy wasnt good enough to be considered worthy?!?
