Had an interesting conversation with a mate today at the footy when discussing who out best few players are currently. It got me thinking and I thought I'd post the question here
Here's my initial list - I'm sure I'll change my mind several times but at the moment it stands like this
1 - Cousins
2 - Judd
3 - Cox
4 - Kerr
5 - Embley
6 - Wirrpanda
7 - Glass
8 - Hunter
9 - Nicoski
10 - Stenglein

10 - StengleinIs this based on 2006 form alone?
If so, Embley wouldn't be that high.
No love for Michael Braun.

that top 4 is very hard to split...you could argue any four of them and not be wrong. Good list. :thumbsu:

Nah - the criteria is a bit vague I guess - it's a bit of a Mike Sheehan style "who is the best player" in the league/on our list etc. It was more of a case of the fact that when talking to my mate he rated some players far more highly than I did, thought it might get a discussion going...

Ive got no complaints on that list. Nicoski has been sensational of late but overall and over the last few years you could argue that Braun deserves top 10 status. Hmm... alright ill give it a go.
1. Cousins
2. Judd
3. Cox
4. Kerr
5. Embley
6. Wirrpanda
7. Hunter
8. Glass
9. Braun
10. Stinger
With Nicoski just outside the top 10 with Fletcher.

Judd is better than cousins

10 best players? or first 10 players picked? I see the two as different.
Assessing 'who is better than who' is always very subjective, and most of our best players are midfielders. If I was picking the side, the first 10 I would want in are (in no particular order):
Cox, Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Embley, Braun, Hunter, Glass, Wirrpanda, Stenglein.

I'd have Braun and Chick in the list before Embley or Stinger. But other than that, it looks A-OK.

I think that would be everyone's top 10 pretty much.
Couldnt really change that top 10 however I think Brauny does deserve a position inside that top 10, but you can only fit in 10 cant ya?
Good list bloke:thumbsu:

9. Braun
10. Hunter
This list is based on order of importance not on skill level, Judd is easily our more skilled player but Cox is more important IMO.
While Cousins is outstanding player and I really love him Judd is better and more important. As evidenced buy the fact we have really struggled last two weeks without him.

that had little to do with judd imo. i think we're just playing poorly and only stepping up when we need to which isn't good enough

Agreed.
With Judd, I feel the result may have almost been the same, Judd is a player, not the team.

Gday fellow WC fans :thumbsu:
My top 10, probably not in particular order, would be:
Cousins
Judd
Cox
Embley
Kerr
Hunter
Chick
Nicoski
Braun
Wirrpanda
Stenglein, Glass are up there too. Graham will be a gun and the Big Unit is improving :D

4.Kerr
5.Hunter
6.Stenglein
7.Wirrapanda
8.Embley
9.Nicoski
10.Glass
If and when Fletcher plays consistently well then he might be there somewhere. Couldnt find a place for Chick, Selwood or Braun, not enough places though are still very important players. Graham and Staker would be close.
Jeez, didnt really know how hard it was to pick until I did it!

In terms of importance:
Judd
Cox
Glass
Cousins
Embley
Kerr
Hunter
Wirrpanda
Hansen
Steinglein
Nico and Fletch could be in there on any given day....I reckon we look a million times better with Hansen playing, even if he has a shocker he gives a target.

how funny about judd being the only important player but as much as i love judd he is not the team. if WC didn't have him there will be something very important missing. my list would be the exact same as the list above.
just wondering, have you guys met chris judd (the hottie)? how is he?

5 players who have been consistent, pound for pound in the games they have played in this year.
The rest of the squad needs to take a leaf out of their books and aspire to the level of consistent footy the above play.

Adam Selwood would have to be close to being in the top ten.. He would definitely be in the top ten in the best and fairest count...

Cox no doubt is our most important. When he started struggling the team started struggling. Judd and Cousins for obvious reasons. Wirra clears the ball out of defence better than anyone IMO, Glass because a good team needs a solid full-back and he has delivered. Hunter is, of course, 'Mr. Fix-It' and Kerr is a fantastic in and under player. When Lynch is holding marks and kicking goals from fifty it lifts the whole team. Stenglein and Braun are more often than not reliable and do the job when Cuz and Juddy get tagged.

LeCras? Waters? Butler? Hunter? Wirra? Stinger?
This is a really bad year to judge a top 10, because on the basis of stupidity and injuries, I would argue that Kerr wouldn't be in our top 5. Also while McKinley has been great this year, it has been only a couple of games. Yet, he miss the last two games. And he is three seasons in, and yet to establish himself. LeCras has been badly missed and should be in top 5. Hurn has miss a chunk of games. Glass has been playing injured and if his inclusions like Kerr are based on past performances, then you could argue that Embley, Stinger and Wirra deserve a little more respect than they are getting.

You are joking putting McKinley in there aren't you? That is one of the stranger things I have read... McKinley is only just in our 22 and may not when everyone is fit...

Yeah he is sh!t.
Mate I said before I was bored and just was thinking of names off the top of my head, read all posts before posting....
Thinking back Id put Wirra in his spot but the rest Id say IMO are about right...
Maybe Hunter in there.
I dont rate Stenglein.

It's very tough with the current crop of injuries. Unfortunately our most talented players are the most injury prone.
I think our current All-Australians top the list along with Embers. Shame that Fletcher's game has dropped so much.
1. Kerr - when inspired he's the game's equal best inside midfielder
2. Cox - number 1 ruckman in the game
3. Glass - when fit, the best full-back in the business
4. Embley - devastating outside mid
5. Q - never thought I say it, but I'd like to see him try to be our Fev
6. Priddis - guts of iron!
7. Hunter - does his best work as a forward. Should stay there
8. Wirra - great awareness and skills. Needs to stay 100% fit.
9. Braun - getting long in the tooth, but great value
10. Hansen - Loads of talent. Just needs luck with injuries
