Scarlett's Top 5

[Vdubs]

Riewoldt
Buddy
J Brown
Goddard
Judd

Intereting no Ablett. ? sour grapes, ? mentioning only players he has been opposed to. Wonder if Ablett would be on that list if still with us.

 

[goyoucatters]

He points out his inclination to favour power forwards (given the role he's played striving to negate them) and then adds Goddard for his versatility.

For me, that means he made one choice of a player instead of Ablett. I put Ablett ahead of Judd but I follow the Cats; there would be plenty of people (and players) out there who would support Scarlo's view too.

Sour grapes or not, it's hardly an outlandish assessment.

Gary was great, Gary is gone.

Go Cats!

Im more excited about this.
Apart from St Kilda tonight, Scarlet's most pressing concern is the imminent birth of twin boys, due on the weekend the Cats play the Swans in Sydney in Round 4.
The CHB/FB position is secure in 18 years time.
What an unbeatable key position back half that will be.
2 Scarlett father/sons in the one year.

This is the best part of it.

They can take the both of them. Im hoping they try for another set of twins. We need to take care of the CHF/FF position now.

Ablett at GC is unproven. Who knows how he will perform in that team. He may still be the best player in the league, or he may not hit his previous heights. Until he proves it in his new surroundings, I wouldn't put him ahead of any of the players mentioned.

Even Rooke's daughters would be eligible under the father/son rule

Not bad

Will be penciling in 2029 as the year to watch for a gun FB to emerge from the junior ranks.

 

[bobbycatsfanme]

wow very surprising that he didn't put Ablett on his list Judd better than Gary? Toughest call of footy imo because Judd has proven he could break away from West Coast alongside Cousins and Kerr and come to Carlton who had nobody apart from a new kid named Marc Murphy and not only dominate but win their B&F a couple of seasons in a row and add another brownlow to the list. True test for Gary will be about to come but he won't have the same protection that our midfield supplied him with for years.

Not a good example, Raph Clarkes shadow would scare Raph Clarke...

Love Goddard and Judd, but both have big weaknesses when compared with Gaz. Was watching the Carlton game on thursday and i still think Judd can't kick on the left nor further than 40m in a straight line on the right. Nevermind, both are champions.

If you are judging people on there most recent form than Gaz's preliminary final more than showed up his class. Still the best player in the competition for mine.

 

[bobbycatsfanme]

yep best player in the game but he's taken the money and walked away from his teammates and have no doubt the Geelong boys aren't happy at all and will likely do all they can to hurt him when they play each other. Not as if Gazza was well off anyways making what? $600,000-$650,000 per year as it was damn the rich just get richer don't they

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Judd has proved he can star in a champion team and carry a weaker team.

Ablett has starred in a champion team. Judd has acheived more in that repect.

Lets see Gary star week in week out without champion back up and make a difference.

For sheer individual talent, yes. Gaz is number one.

But to me, the prelim last year showed how ineffective that brilliance can be. His individual plays in the first half added exactly nothing to our scores. We were like 1 goal to 12 or something before half time. Yeah, he shone, but the team got nothing for it.

That is how I read Scarlett's rating: most impact in big games.

And still win Top Model

 

[thegerman]

It is interesting that he didn't put Ablett in there. I wouldn't mind seeing Scarlett and Ablett going for a loose ball to see whether this comment is due to dispising Ablett or just he isn't focussed on midfielders.
