Must admit I did have a little trouble with a couple. Came down to

22 Goldstein/Moloney
41 Mumford/Foley
17 Cooney/Newman
7 Hayes/Fyfe

Really didn't have to think about 34 and 40. Carlton bias is bias ;)

Only made a few cahnges, and a few were borderline. Number 8 I thought Wells, Frawley and Riewoldt were all pretty even, although very different players. Bias gave jack the nod..

I'd give the nod to Jack too. Pretty fair call IMO.

Disagree. Frawley is a better player than Riewoldt and has more upside. Frawley will be the best KPD in the game in a couple of years, whilst Riewoldt will never be the best KPF in the game. Frawley for me, and easily.

So you rate KBs the equal of KFs?, if so, does that make Scarlett a better player than Buddy? Sorry mate, that's rubbish, no one and I mean no one would pick Frawley before Riewoldt, not even Frawleys mother.

Riewoldt has already won a coleman medal, and in a team that in round 10 was compared to fitzroy on its death bed, that would have to be pretty close to best KPF in the game for that year? Pretty sure the all Australian selectors might have agreed. Still I also rate Frawley, both very good players.
 
I wouldn't give up Garlett for Rockliff if you paid me.

In time, Gibbs, Yarran and Kreuzer will claim the rights to four, 13 and eight.

It's one thing to give a player up, but I think most teams without either player would take Rockliffe. Also Martin will quickly outshine Gibbs to be the best number 4 in the game, Yarran is a long shot, but I agree Kreuzer could easily become the best of the already well represented number 8 jumpers.
 
So you rate KBs the equal of KFs?

This is a similar line to what I was thinking. Donk's entitled to his opinion, but his reasoning didn't make a whole lot of sense considering KPF are the more valuable commodity. Who gives a toss if the KPD is the best and KPF the third best, imagine using that criteria for other positions - best BP vs 3rd best Mid for example.

Personally, I reckon being a Hawk supporter has influenced Donk's thinking more than he realises. The Hawks are crying out for a Frawley type, so perhaps this elevates his appreciation levels; whereas having the best key forward in the game probably limits his appreciation of a young Coleman medalist like Riewoldt. If it were the other way around, we might see a different rating emerge.
 
Also Martin will quickly outshine Gibbs to be the best number 4 in the game

Hold that thought. Gibbs' last couple of months really were outstanding and I've got a feeling he's going to have quite the year next year if the coaching staff give him the right roles. If things track a differently to the last couple of years, you might be in for a surprise.
