Sure to cause some debate

Where is J Brown?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Chris Johnson and Mal Michael have to be the most forgotten players when these lists come out.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Well he's got it right with the 2 Melbourne players, although I'd argue that Johnstone is Top 20 material.

Craig Bolton at 21. Come on, he's good but not THAT good.

 

[SBI]

Well, Scott West gets his first mention by Sheahan.

Where is J Brown?

Only played 14/22 games in 2005!

 

[Silvagnis]

Jared Crouch and Steven Baker shouldn't be in there because they had good seasons.

 

[MadRyan]

Chris Johnson

Who? The guy who racks up 22 possessions a game but has three goals kicked on him consistently?

 

[scottydeewah]

Craig Bolton at 21.

HELMUT

HELMUT!!!!!!!!

 

[Sealen]

S.Baker #31?

haha

 

[Planck]

Not one Carlton player lol

 

[pinkus maximus]

Good to see H Black recognised

 

[demon_fan]

how on earth did darryl wakelin sneek in there???

bolton at 21???

clement above travis johnstone and daniel kerr???

sheahan has got nothing upstairs!!!

 

[deflated]

Pretty simple, you don't rate if your team can't win. 14 of the top 20 are from WC, Crows, Saints or Swans. Dunno if I'd take it to that extreme but its a team game so fair enough.

Might want to switch the Boltons tho'.

 

[MadRyan]

bolton at 21???

Surely he ment J. Bolton, not C. Bolton.

 

[Sealen]

I think this is a terrible list IMO.

 

[kizza]

Surely he ment J. Bolton, not C. Bolton.

Well, he sure didn't mean M. Bolton!

 

[MadRyan]

Well, he sure didn't mean M. Bolton!

WHO!?

This debate happens every year. It's all too easy to cherry pick; list your own top 50 in order, and compare it.

Spot on. It's Sheahan's opinion. It can't be right or wrong, it's just an opinion.

Having said that though, putting Gehrig at 47 is utterly stupid and a disgrace. There's no way T Kennelly had a better season so their positions should be swapped.
Gehrig 46
Kennelly 47

Looks pretty right now.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Not too bad, because, a) we love to see controversy, and b) I love to see these unusual players who I like in there.

Just my few words.

Chris Judd and David Wirrpunda had great seasons, but overall, too high.
Craig Bolton was good, but not top 21.
Plenty of defenders that don't need to be there...Fletcher, Hudghton, D Wakelin

I like my team better overall.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Where the ******** is Shane Tuck????

Nice analysis (I think) . . . but St Kilda actually finished the season 3rd.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Are you certain, I am pretty sure Adelaide finished 3rd!

 

[Fred]

Saints beating the crows in the qualifiers might decide 3rd but I'm not sure.
