I would say Sidebottom over Buddy is a little bit controversial

Yep, thats exactly right. Rance miles ahead of the 2nd best defender and one of the best players in the league.Rance apparently so good he makes top 3 (), but then no other defender can get a gig in the 25?
Daniher over Buddy and Kennedy is criminal, sidebottom didn't even crack the AA squad but apparently he's top 10?
Yeah good mike

Not to jump on the talking down Sidebottom bandwagon but would like to have seen where he had him before the B&F the other night...

Always mostly in agreeance with Sheahan's top lists but Sidebottom at #9 (would be around #40) Crouch at #5 (#15ish at best) Daniher at #8, (#20ish) are some crazy calls.

Just another thought. If you had to pick 4 mids and you we're given 5 options of Dylan Shiel, Joel Selwood, Nat Fyfe, Scott Pendlbury and Seb Ross I'm pretty sure I know who your 4 would be.

That wouldn't push the argument in Jacobs' favour. He's very overrated.

Ross finished 8th in the coaches votes and made the AA squad of 40.
25th best player in the comp is up for legitimate debate.
But not the fact that he is a good AFL player with some elite ball use.
That you call him a battler shows you to be 2 years out of date.
Sidebottom way too high, as good a player as he is I agree.
There are some players on this list that aren't in the top 2 or 3 players at their own club so how they are best 25 in the comp is mind boggling.
Nice troll Mikey.
Err ... you reckon?
Sorry. My post was addendum to the knowledge that most pundits had the All Australian ruck spot as a battle between Ryder and Kreuzer. I didn’t think I had to point out the obvious, but here you are, proving me wrong.

Did they? The second two got a lot more touches but that alone doesn't make a better season. I think on 2017 alone, Zorko would surely have an argument to be considered in that first bracket but he is hard to place because he plays in such a bad team lol. It's hard to rank someone who, though undoubtedly very good, sometimes absolutely brilliant, isn't necessarily going to change the result, because his team generally loses anyway.
As for the other three:
JPK: Seemed really good in the games he played but missed a few games - how much do you mark down players for missing games completely versus playing poorly in the games they do play.
Selwood: Same with JPK. Had a really good year in the games he played but (1) he missed a few games (2) started in a couple of games that he didn't finish, one he got knocked out in the first minute against Freo and then the Sydney game - thereby, (3) making his averages not look as good as they were in reality (he was averaging around 29 disposals per game about the halfway point of the season, and was statistically as good as he's ever been, top of the coaches MVP at one point etc., but I feel that due to his public perception by fans for ducking and his injury-riddled second half of the season, in 2017 he was marked down rather harshly)
Sloane: I would argue he was better than all of those 3, if, he didn't get tagged out of those matches mid-season. That really dropped how people perceived his season. He was everyone's no. 1 the first few weeks and at one point would have been an AA lock. But he didn't even make the team! Big fan of his but can understand why he was rated down a bit.
He's not miles ahead of Mcgovern.
Put Rance at 3, fine - but then don't include any other pure defenders - tokenism at its best.
Lever's getting ~800k and defence wins premierships. We already have the brownlow Sheehan, try a bit harder.

If I was picking a team from scratch I'd pick:
1. Rance
2. Dusty
3. Dangerfield
Rance is the GOAT defender and highly underrated by about 50% of the fans, while the other 50% witness his greatness and know how good he is.

Totally disagree.
