Selwood is not better than Dustin Martin!
Easily. Selwood has been a phenomenal footballer for his entire career. Martin has had one standout season.Se
Selwood is not better than Dustin Martin!
Martin wasn't even the best player in 2017 let alone having had a better career than Selwood.Martin has been tagged for 6 years and played the greatest season of all time according to Leigh Mathews. Selwood has rarely been in the top few players over a season.
Some of your supporters really can’t hack it can you when Richmond players aren’t included in people’s opinions of best players. It’s the same reason Rance isn’t a better defender than Scarlett, Silvagni, Glass, Leppitsch or Langford.Se

So? He played a great season. Singular. That doesn’t elevate him above the consistent output of those on that list. I am not saying he is rubbish, but he isn’t better than Selwood. Selwood not in the top few players? Who cares about the ‘top’ players. Selwood holds his own and has done since his debut.Martin has been tagged for 6 years and played the greatest season of all time according to Leigh Mathews.

Lol, Rance not better than Darren Glass, gmab mate!Some of your supporters really can’t hack it can you when Richmond players aren’t included in people’s opinions of best players. It’s the same reason Rance isn’t a better defender than Scarlett, Silvagni, Glass, Leppitsch or Langford.
He was All-Australian 3 years in a row and is still only 27 plus he earns his free kicks. You can't just ignore his 2017 year, there's no way Selwood could do that.Also Martin kicks goals and can kick more than 45m. If they were both 18yo and in the draft most people would pick Martin for his match winning ability.So? He played a great season. Singular.

Rance is not better than the list I mentioned. Rance is a B grade one on one defender. I’ve seen Rance owned by average forwards in a one on one contest. Harry Taylor rag dolled him a few years ago at KP. I’ve seen Hogan take him to the cleaners multiple times. The guy is a very limited player.Lol

Who do you think?
Why don’t you respond properly than just issuing out a LOL? You can’t even take the blinkers off and respond in a mature way, you just have to get offended. You all do it, you all do it with the discussions re your players.Lol!
Because you are being ridiculous. Many people have said he's the GOAT.I can understand saying Silvagni and Scarlett might be better but 6 All Australians in a row plus All Australian captaincy plus Wayne Carey and SoS saying he could be the GOAT.Ill take their opinion b4 yours. You only have to watch him play to understand that.He reads the ball earlier than any other party and gets to more contests than any player previously. He is also very good below his knees- a bit better than Darren Glass.I just assumed you were trolling.Why don’t you respond properly than just issuing out a LOL?

As a pure one on one defender, he isn’t as goodBecause you are being ridiculous.

I never saw any evidence of this whatsoever. He was quicker and better skilled than all his teammates. Why do people rag on players for getting give and go hand balls? ‘There’s a defender trying to shut down myself and a teammate - gee if I hold onto it he can just go after me. Maybe if I pass it to my teammate so he goes after him, and then I receive it, we can lose him altogether.’ If Ablett is the player giving and going, chances are by the time he receives the ball back, he’s burned anyone within cooee and then hit a target perfectly upfield.
I know I’ve harped on about it multiple times but Ablett had a team 9-6 who then went 4-25 when he got injured so that would suggest that he was indeed able to lift his side to success when others around him struggled.
It was never apparent at Geelong as much because they won no matter what
You haven’t seen any of his games this year, have you? He is anything but a seagull, and the coaches obviously agree, judging by the votes.He's a bit of a seagull these days . Not very accountable, looking for cheap possessions. But he is 35 so it's understandable , at his best he was one of the best. But he has flaws in his game these days that a good team like Geelong can cover up. He often doesn't move. Maybe it's footy smarts, but if Josh jenkins did the same thing, well, he'd be playing in the 2s like he is now. Even though he kicks 50 a year.
Great skills still, but definitely doesn't run both ways these days. Judd in his prime was the better player imo.
Yeah I've seen him. Geelong are playing very well. I think ablett is playing his role well. But let's not pretend he's the same player he was when he left. I think with Geelong being so strong in the midfield ablett is afforded more leeway than he was at Gold Coast where he would get the best tagger every week. Geelong are going to be very tough to beat this year if they stay fit and healthy come finals. But I don't think it's all ablett.You haven’t seen any of his games this year, have you?
