Having rowed throughout the summer, Macciolli has come back an absolute unit. He can run all day and will completely physically demolish any opposition player he comes up against.

Only slight probs is his skills at times, however with the number of running back options weve got this year I'm sure Jack's handballing skills will be up to scratch
 
Only saw him once last year, but admittedly he carved up Lynch in this game, and that's no mean feat. Judging from the Hailebury Xavier game, in which Xavier, notably, were thrashed, Noonan stood up tall and this was the best performance I saw all year from any backman.

good on you for giving him his dues. when noonan was moved off lynch into the ruck in the second half the tide turned. noonan isnt the highest profile defender in the aps by any means but he's hands down the best.

Louka Taffin from Wesley. Genuine CHB fast, tall, great skills. Absolutely killed Jack Watts last year even popped out his shoulder it was beautiful. Plays for Oakleigh
 
Edward Limon at CHB for HC will be a star defender this year holding down his position. Has an accurate long kick, lightning pace and good overhead mark. He wears number 32 so watch out for this kid.
 
Will Cushen is the best full back in the APS. He is as strong as they come with pace to burn and an innate knowledge for the game and the position...he gets to see plenty of the ball been full back for carey and deals with the pressure in a superb fashion!

Judging by the amount of goals Carey concede he cannot be very good at all. Everyone is over you douches talking Carey up, you are not good.
 
How can all the Xavier guys claim that Noonan is the best defender when he doesn't even play there for Sandy?

Surely if he was that good theyd play him there.

wat about small defenders (not key position)... is there a freak running half back flank or solid back pocket in any team that plays their position well?

he does play there for sandy, however also has a bit of a run up at chf. clearly a huge talent if hes able to play both forward and back
 
screw all ur big named players, that people only talk about cause of their reputation, if u actually know something about football all of you, u will know that James Woods (XC) is and will be for the rest of the year one of the best backman in the league. the fact that his name has not even been brought up or talked about seriously, is a disgrace

yep. spot on
 
i think people are forgetting the versatile geelong college big man llewyn butler who among many big name scalps last year towled up cyril "junior" rioli at scotch, a player now proving he has what it takes to make it at AFL level
butler, certainly one to watch this year
