Mike Sheahan's top 50

[yakka man]

It's a very difficult task but I don't pay much attention to Sheehan's top 50. There's always so many glaring omissions. Josh Gibson better than Michael Johnson, seriously?

How anyone can get worked up over this dork's list is beyond me.

Some people take lists to the grave.

I haven't read it. If Barlow is rated lower than Heppell then it isn't credible.

The thing that struck me is that 8% of responders feel Gary Ablett jr. is underrated at #1. I guess they feel he is so good that we need to invent a new system of counting?

Perhaps Mike needed to put a bit of daylite between Ablett and the rest.

it is one of those times your "struggled at school" statement is very relevant

How is Fyfe at #5? The good folks over at the Hawks board said he's a straight swap for Brad Hill?

I voted GAJ as under-rated. He is an incredible player, definitely higher in my view since he went to GC (and he was very highly rated by me when he was at Geelong)

Steven Motlop at 25... Lol. And Walters isn't even in the 50? Never took this list seriously and no surprise Sheahan put three dockers in the top 30 because we made the GF. He would look stupid if he didn't.. Just like the "AFL ranking system", take this with a pinch of salt..

even underrated at #1 player?

even underrated at #1 player?

He deserved to be put in a higher category, somewhere close to Kepler Bradley.

#0 - Kepler Bradley
#0.5 - Day Light
#1 - Gary Ablett Jnr

How anyone gives a shit what Sheahan says, particularly Freo fans, is beyond me. Credit to him I guess, always manages to generate lots of discussion but people put too much credence in his opinions.

Yeah - at the end of the day it's just his opinion

Kudos for him for putting it together - seems well thought out at the very least and as always, it generates a lot of discussion

I liken Mike Sheehan's top 50 lists to Crowley and Ballantyne - everyone knows what they're all about but they still get sucked it

I dont know why people are getting so worked up over this. They do realise its a prediction right? You could put Nick Maxwell at #1 and no one would know any better until the season is over.

 

[PurpleWizard]

Steve Johnson should be top 10

 

[JHF1870]

I recommend following the link and press "Overated" on all the Eagles players in the top 50.

It's quite therapeutic....

Thought Pav would be higher than 30. K-k-k-kennedy at 28 and then Motflop at 25.

Yep, I did do this. The guy is a dead set twat.

Cloak and franklin way overrated, Steven Motlop ahead of Wingard is bullshit, Motlop isn't even top 50. And the 78% agree with mots being overrated.

His list is so far off, its not funny. Rucci's list looks a lot more balanced.

This is the worst top 50 I've seen to date.

This blokes name that is highlighted, his first name must be invisibility as he wasn't sighted at all Friday night.

Lol, and I only just realized on the dockers board. I came here from a search. Was wondering what that purple background was about

With you guys, Mundy, Fyfe and Pavlich are all being underrated by the so called experts.

Cloak is supposed to be a top 10 to some of those experts, he's shit, and so is franklin. Roughie and Pav are probably ahead atm.
Fyfe is top 5 easy

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

Steve Johnson should be top 10

That would be the Stevie Johnson that Crowley totally shut down in the Finals? So Crowley would naturally have to be higher!
