Only the shrewdest of supporters would have picked a leaderboard headed by PJ after three rounds in. The fact a first year player follows in 2nd says it all really. No votes for Neitz, Robertson, Yze, McDonald or Miller yet, thats five of our six "leaders" if you are taking count.

Surprised McDonald hasn't got a single vote yet, he's been his usual solid, unspectacular self i would've thought...

He hasn't had an influence at all. I'd argue that he isn't playing up to his standard, but while he hasn't been our best, he definately hasn't been our worst.

 

[Bartram_Class]

He's barely had a vote to be honest.

I haven't noticed him in many of the games so far.

 

[CaptainDavey]

What are the odds for Bruce to finish top at the end of the season BC?

I'd put my money on him every day of the week at this rate

 

[melbournemartin]

Go Pj!

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated again.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated to include another loss.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated to include the Freo win and Adelaide loss.

Jones on top.

 

[saj_21]

Maclean should regain top spot after he performance on the weekend, i believe he has been our best and most consistent player this year.

 

[Headless]

Good to see Jonesy and Brock leading us.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated to include the last two losses.

McLean firmly back on top.

 

[DemonJim]

PJohnson should be on 32.

 

[Bartram_Class]

PJohnson should be on 32.

Changed, thanks.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated to include QB.

McLean streaking further ahead.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Round 12 done.

McLean with more votes.

 

[Headless]

Garland polls for the 4th time in succession...

Good work Bartram_Class.

 

[Bartram_Class]

I think Wheatley has been dudded a bit in our count, theres no doubt he'd be sitting top five in our B&F at the moment.

 

[The Dr]

I think Wheatley has been dudded a bit in our count, theres no doubt he'd be sitting top five in our B&F at the moment.

I tend to disagree with you there BC. I think Wheatley is one of too many players that do well in spurts but lets the team down by f@cking up simple things. I was acually thinking about him today, whether he will be in our next premiership challenge (say 2010 or beyond)....he is definately in our best 22 at the moment, and to be fair has competed quite well this year but I don't see him becoming a truly dominant player. That's my 2c worth anyway!

Good work with updating the leaderboard again too

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated to include the Sydney loss.

More votes for Colin Garland, 5 weeks in a row now.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Updated for the Brisbane win.

Green, unsurprisingly, BOG.

 

[Headless]

And so ends Garland's run of polling in 5 consecutive matches...

Taking bets on how long it takes Green to overtake McLean, and then get injured.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Be ironic if he was BOG next week, and injured the week after.

It has been that kind of year, we'll probably get a Sylvia or PJ coming through to take the honours.

unless i have calculated incorrectly it seems Wheatley should have got equal 5th best on ground for us with 19 votes??

yet he has been given none...this answers a previous post saying that wheatley should be higher on the leaderboard than he is...i think he is very underrated and will most definately be up there!

There was one poster who had give the wrong number of votes so I counted the first 12 he gave. Therefore Wheatley might have missed one or two there.
