AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Sam Taylor is criminally underrated, To be fair I was sleeping on him for a while too.
He had a shocker of a year. Last year yes but not this year.Probably because everyone hates Richmond
Ridleys form over 2022 and 2021 is basically identical, Essendon just did worse as a whole.
Shai Bolton is the player everyone is waiting for.Ridleys form over 2022 and 2021 is basically identical, Essendon just did worse as a whole.
I didn’t place him in my list anyways so I’m not sure why your asking me
He has won a best and fairest at such a young age and has backed it up with a great season. I’m a big fan, can understand some would put others higher though.
I reckon this was his worse season. He's very good when intercepting though.
yeah, he was definitely playing like the best player in the comp for a fair while. I see regular articles about Shai Bolton and about 20 other players at some point in the season but I have no issue with Cameron being there even though he never does much against my mob.I literally googled it and found this in under 10 seconds, not that it means it's true or anything. But is it really so surprising that someone might think the AA CHF and BnF winner from the premiership winning team has claims to being the best player in the league?

It’s not insecurity to suggest he should be there and that it was a basic oversight. The OP even stated as much.
lol yeah I know. anyone who puts petracca over Oliver really can't watch that many dees games I don't think. it's not even really close.
Think about this from my perspective. I'm a dees fan. I've got no reason to rate one player higher than another. But Oliver is just better. Oliver is probably better than Petracca at almost every facet of the game other than overhead marking. Petracca was the worst goal kicker in the afl last year. Essentially 19 goals, 46 behinds/on the fulls. Horrendous converting. Oliver is just so much better in the contest too. And has much better vision, much cleaner, better awareness and much more consistent. He's also quicker, fitter and better defensively.
Petracca had a great 2021 grand final. Oliver also had a great GF. 33 possessions, 10 tackles and he kicked the sealer. not to mention cooling Bont in the 2nd half.
and I have never heard anyone think Daniel Rioli should be in a top 50 player list.
Fair call. I rate Oliver very highly as well, and reckon him and Petracca are in the best 5 players in the game.
oh yeah, quite possibly, you could be right on Petracca's trade value externally. but internally Oliver is rated higher. Hence why Petracca has 1 BnF and Oliver has 4. And if Petracca and Oliver both went to Collingwood, you'd also prefer Oliver imo. And not even by a little bit, but a long way. People have this impression that Oliver is this slow accumulator when in fact he is quicker than Petracca and probably more powerful because he hits contests at higher speeds. I feel like it's lazy when someone gets 40 touches and labels them as an accumulator with a slight inference that he is less damaging. I tell you what was damaging, petraccas goal kicking. His kicking is worse than Matthew Richardson's at his worst. lol. It drove me up the wall last season.Fair call. I rate Oliver very highly as well, and reckon him and Petracca are in the best 5 players in the game.
As a Collingwood supporter, I'd take Petracca ahead of Oliver, and reckon many others would have a similar view. Whether it is a majority, who knows?
Might be a good poll thread
Would have the be up there with the worst conversion ever if those figures are correct?
That's positional
