All relative to how many there are in total and how they are distributed. Also not sure that Shuey > Mitch Duncan. Shuey more flashy but they'd be pretty comparable overall.
Adelaide have 5 + 3 borderline
Richmond 3 +3
We have 4 + 1
Do we have 17 C-graders making up the rest? 10 Cs and 7 Ds? 17 Ds?

He also looks good standing next to our trophy cabinet too mate.
Now pipe down vanilla b grade team supporter.
Shuey didn't win anything and only made a fool of himself in 2015.

The reason he wasn't on the park last year was because Naitanui broke his ribs and punctured his lung with a cowardly knee.
Sandi could play till he is 40, he doesn't have to jump, unlike Naitanui who may neverake it back.

Cowardly knee, do you even have a clue about flying for a mark?
Here's a hint, Walters uses the same technique
Fyfe isnt shy lading with the knees either when going for a fly
Any Freo fan thinking it was deliberate with intent to injure has nfi how football is played.

Lucky our club has won things
It gets us through the dark times when we lose grand finals.
How do you cope as a matter on interest?
Crywanking would seem dockerish?
With teams full of meth and steroids which in the end even cost lives.

In the game of arbitrary letter grades, there are no Ds.

Is that kind of like how there are average players and above average players, but no below average players?

What a joke that link is in what world is Matthew Kreuzer a A grader but Jack Riewoldt is merely borderline
In the real world?
The article makes a few mistakes I admit but Kreuzer had a legitimately great season in 2018, I'd have him as the second best ruckman in the comp behind Ryder. In a league where a gun ruckman is hard to come by (I would know, we have Bellchambers and Leuenberger), I rate Kruze as an elite player.
Riewoldt is a great player, but I wouldn't call him elite. Obviously a great career but he's literally borderline-elite as a great player but not superstar. Hooker is a similar standard tbh.

Apparently.
I'm not totally clear on the rules of the arbitrary letter grades. Ask one of the experts.

They're both borderline and so is Shuey.

If all ruckmen are fit, where does Kreuzer rank?

What does it mean to be an A-grader?
Isn't it weird that people can endlessly debate whether this label applies without first agreeing what this label means?
If I introduced a colour-coding system, where red was for the best players, blue was for the next tier, green for the tier below and yellow for the tier below that, would you all be willing to debate if Shuey was "red" or "blue"? It would be equally as meaningless as arguing whether he's an "A-grader" or not. It's totally arbitrary rubbish.

There are 26 letters in the Latin Alphabet, it seems a shame to limit arbitrary grading of players to just 3.
When I was at school they at least had ABCDE on school reports. But that was the 90s and early 2000s. People care more about feelings now, so I guess every player has to be at least a C for the sake of their warm and fuzzies.

It depends on how you rate them. I generally go by tier A graders which would put him around the mark but I know most think of that as a load of rubbish and it's A, B, C, etc which puts him as a B for mine because you can't compare him to Kelly Fyfe Danger Ablett Martin etc

No s**t.
And given this tiered classification is totally arbitrary, what is the discussion even about?
Do you apply one arbitrary label or the other arbitrary label? Fascinating stuff.
Wow, that clears it up. He's a B, not an A. Whatever that means.
Here's my new classification system.
Would you say Shuey is Blue, Orange or Green? Or even Brown!?
Won't it be fascinating to see which colours are assigned to different players.
