Rank your team

[Yojimbo]

Gee Barrass at 16 is tough.

Some other poster had Gaff at 12 and Cripps at 19, i guess we all see it differently. The West Coast game plan being so blatant and simple would suggest the players should be ranked according to the game style.

Gee Barrass at 16 is tough.

Yea it does feel a bit harsh. Incredible grand final but just hasn't had the consistency since; is excellent one week and very worrisome the next. Think in that second bracket ive listed, you could easily change the order around.

Looking at your list, we have 9 of the top 10 the same. I think Gaff at 12 shows just how high our expectations of him are; hes consistently the best wingman in the league (should top 100 career brownlow votes this year), and has shown over and over he actually has a pretty legit inside mid game (#1 and #3 on the ground in contested possessions with our midfield missing the last two games)

- Rest -

A couple of widgets and subtle game style adjustments short of greatness.

Caleb is real low at 9...for mine I’d move him to 2 and effectively have the rest down 1 but swap Naughton with B.Smith.

Libba probably goes to 6 on that scale too and same, same, everyone pushes down 1 again.

Hard to argue with the rest.

Fair enough Lex22, Liberatore has been awesome this year and i for one doubted he could get back to his best, but he has 100%.

Solomon will be hot property I'd expect. Maybe Monkhorst as ruch coach? Not sure who at the Hawks would be worthwhile tbh

I just want some changes in assistants - not another reshuffle, we need new blood coming through

Was actually a difficult task.

Feel like Macrae is probably too low but you could throw a blanket over 2-6 and I feel like you just don't notice Macraes possessions as much as the ones ahead of him.

Expect Naughton to be higher next year but too inconsistent at the moment.

The bottom of the list is interesting with a mix of players who have shown a lot of promise but dropped away, players who are fairly limited but get games as role players and players who I think are decent players but can't get a game in our system.

This is certainly not a personal dig at anyone but I’m genuinely flabbergasted that Caleb Daniel has not made the Top 5 of any Dogs posts to date.

 

[Lex22]

Fair enough Lex22, Liberatore has been awesome this year and i for one doubted he could get back to his best, but he has 100%.

These are always going to be somewhat subjective. Libba’s 2020 consistency has perhaps crept under the guard a little.

I think if you read the tea leaves even some of the power brokers thought he was done, truly Rocky Balboa type effort although uncle Fred has the muscles in the family.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Some other poster

Hmm, wonder who that could be.

 

[Lex22]

Yeah I genuinely thought he was cooked and now he’s probably in career best form. Big turnaround.

Caleb is a magnificent kick coming out of defence but we run a zone/intercepting backline.
Caleb couldn't do what he does without Crozier and Williams intercepting the way they do and they also both provide great drive out of defence so I have them higher due to having more strings to their bows.
Hard to put him above our midfielders and Naughton creates so many scores out of nothing. Our forward line would be impotent without him.

Agree heavily regarding Naughton, Bont aside he’s probably our most important player and turns one of the more vanilla forward lines in the comp into at least a functioning one.

Can’t agree regarding Caleb. He sets up so much drive regardless of what’s going on behind him and is our best user/decision maker.

Even seeing him of late plug the occasional clearance hole up the field and play a little higher at times. He’s irreplaceable for mine.

I very nearly had him there - could put a blanket over 3rd to 7th for me

Pretty clear top 10 for me. Feels harsh to have player of the finals in 2018 Redden at 11, but i think our top 10 is very strong. I've picked on a set of pretty arbitrary criteria, but I guess these ranks mostly reflects my thoughts on their importance to the team.

Rioli and Venables not included; Rioli slots in at #9, Venables #20

Patron thoughts? Ryan at 9 feels harsh; will go top 4 or 5 in our B&F, but tough to put him any higher

Some Changes Imo but very similar overall. My Criteria was to play a game tomorrow (if fully fit). I reckon Duggan's really elevated, you were harsh on hurn's slide and soft on JK's. I think we underrate barrass.

I'll rate our team when we get a new list manager. It's not an even playing field with Dodo and the scouts working under him.

Needs a complete overhaul.
