What is everyones thoughts?

For me..
I think the top 10 is pretty much spot on.
I think Luke Hodge is a bit high at 15 should be more around 25-30.
I think Cousins should be a lot higher, just outside the top 10.
Ricciuto at 26 is too high, should be more around 15.
And even as a Carlton supporter as much as it pains me to say, Buckley at 16 is too high, definately should be around 10.

19: Matthew Scarlett

Mike pls......

 

[Sttew]

Mike pls......

Good pick up the Harry. Should be higher. The greatest full back in the past 25 years. How quickly some forget just how good he was.

 

[Blackas87]

Dean Cox, Luke Hodge, Brad Johnson, and Alistair Lynch are ranked way above where they should be.

How on earth is Nick Riewoldt and Pavlich ranked below those 4, they need to be ranked higher.

 

[Claude Balls]

Mike on crack with Hodge at 15.

Seriously, in terms of overall career output the guy has to be one of the most overrated players of the past 25 years. He's a great big-game player, but we don't see Shaun Hart ahead of Jason Akermanis on this list just because he won a Norm Smith and Aker didn't.

Buddy, Aker, Ricciuto, Cousins, Buckley, Scarlett, Pav, Silvagni, Riewoldt, Tredrea, Lloyd and Mitchell all comfortably ahead of Hodge.

 

[mike123]

Buckley over Hodge.

 

[Super Hans]

I hate Nick Riewoldt, but I don't see any way that Luke Hodge is better than him.

 

[Power Raid]

right or wrong, there are some fabulous names there

 

[H2F]

I'd have Hodge in the top 10, but other than that it is actually pretty good.

Goodes a bit high maybe.

 

[Sttew]

What is amazing are the No. 2&3 spots. You wouldn't read about it.........except on BF!

Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

 

[mike123]

Buddy Franklin should be much higher

 

[schmuttt]

I'd have Hodge in the top 10, but other than that it is actually pretty good.

Here we go boys

 

[Art Corvelay]

Pavlich, Riewoldt and in particular, Tredrea not high enough.
Brad Johnson should be lower.

Where the hell is Chris Grant?

 

[H2F]

Pavlich, Riewoldt and in particular, Tredrea not high enough.
Brad Johnson should be lower.

Where the hell is Chris Grant?

Grant>Tredrea>Riewoldt>Pavlich

 

[Sttew]

Grant>Tredrea>Riewoldt>Pavlich

In your opinion

 

[H2F]

Omg on the first read I didn't notice it.

Even the second.

But there it was all the time. Dane Swan. bwahahahahahahahaha (not even top 500).

 

[Art Corvelay]

Grant>Tredrea>Riewoldt>Pavlich

Seriously no Chris Grant is a joke.

 

[H2F]

In your opinion

It is a very good opinion.

 

[Art Corvelay]

Omg on the first read I didn't notice it.

Even the second.

But there it was all the time. Dane Swan. bwahahahahahahahaha (not even top 500).

Only second longest AA streak and a Brownlow medal. He's comfortably Top 50.

 

[H2F]

Only second longest AA streak and a Brownlow medal. He's comfortably Top 50.

Not a chance.

He's a very good player, but runs one way only and wastes it by foot.

There is a reason he never got tagged.

 

[Art Corvelay]

There is a reason he never got tagged.

Cause he out ran them through gut running.

 

[tugga]

No Richo. Go and get ****ed.

 

[Sprout]

Brad Johnson's name certainly sticks out. Good record no doubt but 22 just seems way too high when you look at the names coming after him.
