Five.. is that it? Please.. we've lost more stars than that in just the last few years and still have that much elite talent on the list
Who's this etc. etc guy? Never heard of him?
How about respond to a well presented argument with some factual responses of your own rather than trying to entertain a pissing contest you're never going to win.
Two of those were gifted AA's this year because of a pro-Richmond selection panel, and that's not trolling. Try to justify to anyone how Lids gets a gong ahead of a player like Josh Kennedy after playing only 18 games. Don't even get me started on Riewoldt.
Rance is a gun, Martin equally so. Cotchin goes missing when it matters - how many 30+ possie games did he have this year? I'll tell you - as many as he had sub 20 games - 5. Takes a lot more to reach star level than a handful of blinding games a year I'm sorry. Burst onto the scene like a house on fire and has fallen under the weight of the captaincy, don't tell me you can't see it for yourself either.
How many rising star nominees have you had in the last 5 years? Lennon, McIntosh, lemme guess.. that etc. etc bloke too?
