As it stands this minute...
1) Jeremy Howe - he does all the flashy stuff, has all the tricks but what impressed me most was against Geelong when he beat Dangerfield one out on a number of occasions! Best interceptor in the game, strong 1 v1 and sets us up incredibly well going forward.
2) Brodie Grundy - wins his position week in week out, gets the tap but his disproportionally short legs mean he follows up on the deck better than any other. Has massive upside, yet still has a huge impact for us. Competes hardest when we need him to step up when the game is in the balance.
3) Scott Pendlebury - although I wouldn’t have him captain, he is one of the most damaging players in the league. Gets his 30 possessions, and they are 30 of the best every game. Rarely wastes it, and rarely gets caught in traffic. Sublime
4) Steel Sidebottom - a brilliant natural footballer. Plays well inside and out, scores at will. Tackles hard and plays hard. Should probably be higher on the list, the one knock on him (and I appear to be on my own) is that he lacks depth on his kicking and is prone to a clanger or two a game.
5) Adam Treloar - his gut running, breaking lines and ability to win the ball at the death is incredible. Drops down the list purely because of his kicking, Which I think is due to his gut running. Needs to be more composed and learn that you can move the ball quicker by using your mind and kicking it accurately... Although breaking lines is critical in today’s game!
