Opinion Robbo Top 50

[DarwinRoo]

Higgins only kicked one behind, in the first quarter.
Murphy, Gilbee and Gia all kicked behinds in the last quarter.

Not to get in the middle of you and the poster but Robbo is making a prediction. He's simply saying Hurley won't be top 50 by end of the year. He's not rating players as at today.

Same with all the comments around Petracca...he just thinks that Petracca will become a gun by years end.

And I do feel somewhat dirty for defending Robbo.

That cringy unwashed feel! Eww!

I know it's hard to believe great players exist outside the Victorian bubble but they do.

He's making a prediction though. Perhaps Gray turning 32 in a couple of weeks is playing into prediction? I mean this whole VIC bubble thing is boring now. There are 10 teams in VIC, you'd expect the majority of top 50 players to be from VIC. He also has 9 of the top 20 from non VIC teams, which is a greater percentage than the teams split would suggest would be the case.

So basically your vicbias dribble isn't warranted here.

Don't know why the argument here, Gray is a vic.

If Buddy is ranked 11 after the season (if there is one) we make the finals.

Won’t happen. Maybe next year, he’ll be fully recovered if he doesn’t trip over a chain fence or fall down stairs like one of our players does every preseason.

won't be a 2020 top 50 since the season's going to be cancelled

Richmond supporter so may be biased but Sicily ahead of Grimes is beyond me

No not just you Grimes is the best defender the game along with J Mcgovern

If anything he’s been underrated for 18months. Had a fantastic season last year.

would that be the season he only played 11 home and away games and averaged 20 disposals a game?

Plus a bunch of tackles plus being up there or at least in the top couple captains in the game (Hurn the other one). I don’t rate him like Fyfe but the way people carry on it’s as if he’s a dud

 

[lumpinee]

based on 2019 form De Goey,Kelly Mcgovern,Franklin,Oliver & McCluggage dont deserve to be in top 50...maybe the year before

No, people are carrying on that he isn’t the 32nd best player in the league

He’s easily in the top 50...it’s better than Petracca being there somehow lol

Petracca ?? potential is a dangerous word

Off a pre season game too!

As Jonny McEnroe used to say “you can’t be serious”

Don’t mind it as I said on the higher side and I’d have Greene over him but happy enough

 

[lumpinee]

based on last year Cotch too high.late 40's more like it

30’s to 40’s is fine. He’s fine where he is

before the finals maybe i would of as well, but Lynch torched Geelong when it mattered,stood up big time

 

[lumpinee]

Greene above De Goey now for me

As I said happy enough with Lynch. Greene is the howler though he’s not in the 40’s, closer to 10

Seems many continue to miss the point of this whole exercise. Robbo is a massive nuffy at the best of times, but this whole list is supposed to be speculative - i.e. guessing the order of the top 50 players by the end of 2020, so factoring in improvement.

I don't necessarily think Bont should be number 1 (he's currently top 5, but definitely not the number 1 player), but it's entirely possible he reaches that point by the end of season. It's also possible he drifts further back in the pack and is overtaken. I would personally have Fyfe at number 1, but that's just me.

Surprised how high some of these guys ended up though, considering we're assuming that 2020 has to play out. Guys like Buddy, Nic Nat and Higgins are arguably top 50 right now, but there's a good chance they won't be by season's end considering their age and injury histories.

The ones who stand out as possibly a bit low would be Haynes, Andrews and Marshall. All on track to be top 20 players by the end of 2020
