Best 10 Players in the AFL

[WCE2000]

who do you think are the best 10 players in the competition at the moment??

This is my top 10 at the moment:
1. Nathan Buckley
2. Anthony Koutifidies
3. Peter Bell
4. James Hird
5. Wayne Carey
6. Robert Harvey
7. Scott Camporeale
8. Mark Mercuri
9. Paul Kelly
10. Steven King

Please note that this is not the best 10 players for 2000 otherwise Kelly would not be in there. It is simply who you think are the best 10 players going around.

1. J.Hird - Out and out champion
2. M.Voss - it's 1996 revisited)
3. A.Koutafides - Better now than past
4. N.Buckley - carries the side on his own back, a born leader
5. A.Mcleod - a matchwinner and proven finals footballer
6. D.Kemp - Now carrying the side, champion in his prime, will never forget 1994.
7. W.Carey - slightly overated I believe
8. S.King - will soon be in the top 3
9. M.lloyd - will soon join King in top 3
10. S.Woewodin - could be a smokey for the Brownlow

 

[Barney]

1.Carey...the king
2.Kouta...the athlete
3.P.Kelly..can do it all
4.Lloyd..pretty boy who can kick goals
5.Ratten..tough,never stops
6.Mcleod...silky skills
7.Camporeale/Scott West both have nice skills
and never waste the ball..and they get it a lot.
8.M.Johnson..rookie to star status I really like him as a player..should be at the Roos.
9.Buckley..gets it a lot.. but isnt the great kick that everyone thinks
10.M.O'loughlin..underated cos he is a swannie..just ahead of 11. Voss..great skills
but can go missing in action.
12.Dustin Fletcher..just missed out on top 10
cos he played a shocker against the dogs.

[mtffafl]

Grendel...

On this year's form.

Carey slightly lower...

O'Loughlin I wouldn't have in it.
Nor Farmer.

I think Peter Bell and Brent Harvey could slot in ahead of them, and maybe even Whitnall...

Matt

 

[Hirdhasbigears]

On this years form only...

1. Anthony Koutoufides (outstanding)
2. Scott West (close to the Brownlow)
3. Dustin Fletcher (excellent effort)
4. Shane Woewodin (great skills)
5. Mark Mercuri (fantastic season)
6. Nathan Buckley (even though I hate him)
7. Brett Ratten (hard worker)
8. Craig Bradley (inspirational)
9. Matthew Lloyd (best foward going around)
10. Aaron Hamill (only a Carlton supporter could truly realise what an important and wonderful player he is. Has missed only one game and hasplayed only one shocker. Hardest working foward I have seen for years.)

[Dan26]

On THIS years form, Kouta is number 1 obviously.

But we're not talking about this years form are we ? We're just talking about who the most talented player is.

When he is fit, and firing, James Hird is the best player in the comp. He has more time than any other player to do what he wants, he can play every position on the ground, he plays small and tall, he wins the hard ball, and he moves as gracefully as any player has in the games history.

James is the AFL's best player. But Kouta had the best year in 2000. The other players in the top 10 are so subjective that it is impossible to list them accuratley.

So, I'm going to wuss out.

 

[JUBJUB]

Nathan Buckley would be the number 1 player in the league.Just ask him and he'll tell you he's the best.

What a w***er.Its no wonder Buckley's called 'FIGJAM'.

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Great JUBJUB is registered and here to stay. NOOOOOOOOOOOO........

Sorry JUBJUB!! Someone said the exact same thing to me when I registered. I still don't know why.......

 

[Grendel]

Okay if its regardless of form then the best player is Carey. Hird and Peter Matera would be a tie for 2nd. Then the Harvey,Kelly,Buckley,Voss,Kouta could all be lumped in together. Its to subjective to do properly.

 

[Hilly]

*based on past performances and overall level of greatness

1. W.Carey
2. J.Hird
3. N.Buckley
4. A.McLeod
5. M.Voss
6. A.Koutoufides
7. S.West
8. P.Everitt
9. P.Bell
10. M.Allan

Apologies to a host of players who i can't be bothered naming or have simply forgot.

Anyone that doesn't believe Carey is the best overall (not for season 2000 i agree) needs their head read....urgently. His ability not only to win games off his own boot (see 1992-2000), captain magnificently (re: 1993-2000), be totally dominant (1992-2000) and play with significant injuries (1994 finals series, 1999-2000) is remarkable.
