27 disposals is good, but it isn't amazing. I just don't feel like he has much of an impact, at least not a 9th best in the league impact. I would say he is in the top 30 in the league, but not top 10.

how can you have petracca over shane edwards Slobbo?
Jeremy Cameron goes ahead of Lynch and Buddy for me. Even when he has a bad game he gets a couple of scores and that’s not often. I’d take him, Fyfe and Grundy if starting a team from scratch.

Only Laird and Lloyd average more touches from a half backs perspective, he sits around 20th in the league for ave disposals.
So it's elite.
He averages a hell of a lot more meters gained than those two and around the same meters gained as Brad Hill.
Couple that with his footskills, he has a huge impact.
Houli is probably the only half back that comes close to him at the moment.
Greene and Ben Brown extremely underrated.
Petracca overrated.
Petracca may be able to get there this year but on AFL form he's no where near the top 50.

I don’t care if it’s predictive, an elite midfielder in Josh Dunkley at 50 behind someone like Petracca is one of the more laughable things I’ve ever read.

Nah in fact i have him top 5 at the moment, out and out superstar of the game.
Robbie Gray is better than about 30 blokes on this list

It's a predictive list so it is hard to say it's wrong, i don't think he is number 1 at the moment and i wouldn't predict him to be number 1 at the end of the season. It's hardly a terrible opinion though and is possible if he does stay fit.
Obviously Slobbo watched his practice game against North and got a bit carried away. Shouldn't be in the top 7 or so IMO.
Capable, yes. But not there yet.
Hurley probably deserves a spot. Merrett is a better footballer than Petracca. Stringer could be top 50 next year if he recaptures 2015 form. Tippa could be in there for his x-factor.

Easily the most influential player at GWS. When he's on, they are unstoppable. He's the best general in the game too, and his footskills are ridiculous really misses a target. He'd be in my top 4-5 easily.

To be fair, it's a predictive list, not a current one. I think if ever there was a year Robbie Gray slows down, it is this one, which means it's probably right.

Then the list is all over the place. It's like he's taken a bet both ways with this list.

No doubt he put his list together over a few beers. There won’t be consistency in reasoning

The top 4 are pretty reasonable, you could pick any one of hem at number 1. Personally I'd have picked Martin at 1 and Bont at 2, but it's tossing a coin.
