McGrath at 4? Really? You have a back pocket player that has had half an ok season ahead of All Australians?1. Tom Stewart

English I ummmed and uhhhed aboutMcGrath ahead of English, Daicos, Bolton, McCluggage?
I rate him, but no, I wouldn’t have thought so.
To be fair, I've probably under appreciated just how well Tim Enlighs has gone.McGrath at 4? Really? You have a back pocket player that has had half an ok season ahead of All Australians?
No - you have way over rated McGrath. He has never finished top 3 in Essendons B&F - a team that has been average for a long time.To be fair, I've probably under appreciated just how well Tim Enlighs has gone.

How? Daicos is an All Australian and a best and fairest winner in a premiership year. That is outstanding.Would have McGrath at a similar level to Daicos but behind Clug, Larkey, Bolton.
Genuinely unsure on how to rate English. Sometimes he impacts games like an out and out star other times he is uncompetitive in the ruck to a big detriment to the dogs midfield
I guess Shane Woewodin is a better player than Scott West then in your scale of appreciationNo - you have way over rated McGrath. He has never finished top 3 in Essendons B&F - a team that has been average for a long time.
You can’t put him above All Australians who have proven they can play at a really high level for an entire season.
Daicos has been good to very good for two seasons. We are talking about players in season 8How? Daicos is an All Australian and a best and fairest winner in a premiership year. That is outstanding.
when fit, hard to argue thisDump kick McGrath?
Not even the best Don from 2016.
That's Jordan Ridley's spot to lose.
English I ummmed and uhhhed about
Daicos.J only "popped" in 2023 after promising so much early but finally putting it all together
Bolton has been a dick tease since he was drafted. I trust my wife's netball ability more than Bolton to show up every week in a season
McCluggage - see English. Nice player, but could have, like draft day, could have gone either way and not been wrong
Yep, said I probably got this one wrongNot sure why. He’s ahead of McGrath.
As mentioned, Daicos has been good for 2/8 years at AFL level after wanting to explode for the first 6. Still think overall McGrath's been betterDaicos is a bit unlucky that his brother is a freak. He’s a terrific footballer in his own right and won a B&F in a premiership year.
Wish more people would wake up and realise that Shai's highlights hide his mediocrity. Good player but the carry on make him sound like he is one of the best in the comp.That’s fine, but he’s still ahead of McGrath. If I’m after consistency I’d take McGrath though.
Maybe, as I said in a follow up post, much like draft night, you could go either way with Hugh or Andrew at 4 / 5I don’t think anyone outside a select few Essendon supporters are taking McGrath over McCluggage.
You’re suffering from an extreme case of recency bias.

happy to be proven correct but I will stand by my call. Will give credit where credit is due. He did win a B&F in a premiership yearYeah, this simply isn’t true. He’s been playing at a high level for more than 2 years, and he’s certainly ahead of McGrath.

This its just plain incorrectStand by it all you like, but it’s a bit strange to be discrediting Daicos for being “good for 2/8 years at AFL level”, when the entire reason for you posting your ranking tonight is because McGrath has seemingly finally put it together in his 8th.
