Past #16: Scott Thompson - to retire end of 2019 season - thanks Scott

[hellas_johnny]

Had my flog of an Essendon supporter mate trying to say that him being selected in the All Australian Team was a joke. Saying he's only had 1 good season. Then saying how we won't make finals next year and we're s**t. Had to walk away, otherwise I would've smashed the idiot

No backward star-jump smother this year.

Disappointing.

You would've been well within your right to

 

[Thewlis Dish]

When you break down the numbers and consider the lack of consistent support he had around him, and the fact our midfield wasn't exactly defensively sound, it is one of the best seasons from a key defender I can remember. Just phenomenal.

Any result other than Hunter winning the Syd would be a fallacy.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Obviously these lists get taken with a grain of salt, but it'd be a while since we've had a player rank that highly. Great recognition for Hunter.

Goldstein at 50 and Wells at 43 too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Great to see Hunter getting some recognition. Our best player this year.
But Mike couldn't find room for the most prolific small forward of 2013?
Edit: Lindsay's probably in the top 10

No boomer or swallow? Bout right for Scotty, great result for a FB.

[Mr. Blonde]

Spot on. Thompson more than deserves this ranking.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

No boomer or swallow?

I think 5-6 representatives given we finished 10th would be a little over the top.

yeah nah, refer to Brett's list above..... it's not about a quota, rather who is in in front of them

 

[Jack Reacher]

Gee wiz, there are some real hacks in that list, and who the f*** is Eric MacKenzie....anyone? Is that a p*sstake?

 

[muttley45]

lindsay thomas obviously # 51

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Fyfe will be #1 this time next year

 

[NiceCunnington]

I still reckon Boomer should be very high in these lists. He is better than most of those players.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Is Tom Liberatore a better player than Jack Ziebell?

 

[Wild Bill]

Is Tom Liberatore a better player than Jack Ziebell?

This year he was.

 

[GarnerSmash]

This year he was.

Yeah, Libba is a little gun. Very consistent performer at a very high level.

I would argue that Jack's best games have more impact because of his goal kicking ability and moments of great leadership and commitment but Libba has had a significantly better year than Jack.

 

[boneofshin]

Sheahan doesn't normally rate defenders very highly so good to see Thommo get some recognition. Pretty surprised at Lindsay's omission though.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Montagna? Will be either left out of the top 50 or be top 10...

That's about where I would have Thompson. Great season.

Boomer did miss 6 games and had a few quiet games, so probably hard to justify him in there. Thomas obviously also unlucky not to be in the 40-50 range.

Ablett
Selwood
Roughead
Pendlebury
Swan
Mitchell
Griffen
Taylor
Jack

Barlow? Cameron? McVeigh? Really, those guys might be top 10? Am I missing anyone obvious, because all I can think of for the number 10 spot are guys who had good seasons but were not top 10!

Also surprised Birchall made it. Due to injury, was not his best season.

Gee wiz, there are some real hacks in that list, and who the f*** is Eric MacKenzie....anyone? Is that a p*sstake?

Eric Mackenzie had an excellent year.

 

[Maddox]

LT stiff. Good stuff by Scotty T though

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Where's Liam Anthony?
