AA Full Back

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Im not saying that Scarlett has been bad, its just that when comparing these players you have to look at the calibre of competition they are playing on.... Scarlett was only on Williams for a while and got 2 kicked on him out of Williams three. And yes, Fev wouldva also had a dirty day against us if you put any of our backmen on him... Just my opinion, that although hes played well, Glass and Rutten have played better, Rutten first

btw
Rutten - 5 goals
Glass - 10 goals
Scarlett - 9 goals

So even for glass/scar and thats why I put Glass as being higher as he has had better opposition

They have all been playing well though, no doubt about it

cheers for the stats, but the reason I ranked Glass and Scarlett equal is because Scarlett is a defensive general.

Of the top 4 full backs IMO I had them like this

Defending their opponent
Rutten>Glass>Scarlett>Fletcher

Other (basically, team defence, creativity out of the backline, setting up plays and such)

Scarlett>Fletcher>Glass>Rutten

that's why I had the 2 players equal behind Rutten, who's pretty much killed everyone he's been on.

I agree with EVERYTHING except this...


The crows D falls apart without Rutten in there. They appear to be a joke when hes not on song (luckily he is a lot of the time)

In that context for me
Rutten=Scarlett>>Fletch>Glass

But thats mainly how our defence is set up, where each person is accountable... Dont really work together ( as you would have seen Wirra get torn up by Giansiracusa if you watched the game - Crap coaching in that position all day by our boys)
 
Worst poll ever. You cant have the words best full back and not have Scarlett with it.
Harris > Scarlett

Rutten just got my vote from Glass.

EDIT: I hate Geelong supporters. Most biased crop of deluded, inbred idiots.....
PS. I recognise this is a huuuuge generalisation, sorry to those of you who aren't biased fools.

did you watch yesterday's game?

If so you'd realsie how good Scarlett is.

Also, you wouldn't find an intelligent Western Bulldogs fan who believes Harris is better then Scarlett, he's not even better this year, and Harris has been playing very well.

When Scarletts on, he's so bloody good. Definetly in contention for AA this year.

typical geelong the world evolves around skilled stadium statement
 
Let's just wait until after Round 22 and see who they name. Round 7 has only just been completed. Its a bit pointless arguing with bias for your team's player.

IMO Scarlett, Glass and Rutten are all fantastic full backs.
Imagine if you supported Hawthorn or Richmond and had no good full back.
 
If you actually watched our games you'd know just how often Rutten is left one out with his opponent, and how rarely he loses these contests. Not only that, but he helps out other players just as much as they help him. In fact, our backline often becomes shaky when he's dragged out of the back 50 by his opposition, as can be seen during the Essendon game. He's easily our most important defender.
He's conceeded less goals this year than Glass (averaging less than one goal kicked on him a game this season), and averages more possessions, more marks and more tackles than him. He hasn't put a foot wrong this year, yet the same old "oh he's helped out by the crow flood" bullshit still pollutes every discussion in which his name comes up.

A quality player yes and him and Glass are the top two by a long while however Glass is stilll above him. Maybe your neglecting to mention the Crows play are more negative brand of footy than the attacking Eagles, leaving Glass more of a challenge.
Overall Glass 1 and Rutten not far behind.
 
id say Rutten. maybe

Mal Michael is showing some good form and always gets the best forward..

Mal Michael best footy is far beyond him and is struggling in my opinion. Cannot keep up with most forwards and is only good on gorilla keepers.... wouldnt comr into all australian calculations. and Fletcher has forgotten how to play on the number one forward after been given rubbish forwards for the last 2 seasons.....

Is it ant wonder why Mal Michael has never been All australian. However All australian selection is a joke, i still cant wotk out after a 70+ goal season from Russell Robertson in 2005 went unoticed form AA selectors. Disgrace.
