better

 

[sunbkangas]

Yeah, sorry all, my stuff up... Apologies...

 

[lachystar]

Still not right. Prestigiacomo has been in the best 3 or 4 full backs all year.

'Ben' Rutten would probably be named at FB even though he has recieved alot of help from fellow defenders. But I don't remember the last time he was beaten this year.

 

[Eagles4Ever]

Ah bollocks i pressed for Darren Gasper instead of Darren Glass.

Who the hell is Brett Rutten. I voted purely on the surname.

Interesting to see how popular Rutten is for this spot...

 

[worthy]

Since you have no choice for Johnny Hay, i'll have to vote Rutten.

 

[Hoops]

based on recent performances you would say Scarlett, but he was dreadful for the first half of the year, so I voted for Leaping Leo Barry

Yeah it is interesting. That he is a quality full back and people are finally starting to realise that. Problem?

are u kidding?
Mal Michael is the number one spoiler in the comp.
would u prefer ur full back to never miss a spoil (obviously when it comes in quick theres nothing u can do), or take a mark sometimes n get 15 touches, but concede more goals (like scarlett).
i know who i'd pick on gehrig or hall on grand final day.

Spoiling isn't the only method to beating out your opponent.

Should the ball come in, Michael is likely to spoil it, as you have alluded to. Great defensive approach to the game, but in Scarlett's situation, he'd be more of a chance to out body his opponent and take the mark over them.

Result? Both achieve the main objective in stopping their direct opponent from a possession. Difference? Scarlett's mark ensures the team has possession of the ball, same can't always be said of Michael's spoil.

Not denying that Michael is one of the better fullbacks going around (IMO, has had a more consistent year to that of Matty), but simply underlining the flaw in your statement. Scarlett marking the ball isn't as insignificant as you make it out to be.

They should pick 2 and put one as CHB as there are not many deserving of that spot.

Not a bad idea.

I still reckon Scarlett even though his 2004 was way better than his 2005.
