Rucci's Top 50

[Kane McGoodwin]

Agreed on ability Brown could be better than both Tredrea & Riewoldt but unfortunately his mind-set is far behind those 2 players at the moment.

But that could change this year when he realizes that Lynch is now not there to fall back on..

Then again i see Hopopotu has fallen back to his old ways once more.

IMO, Brown < Tredrea = Riewoldt. Will be interesting to see how Brown adjusts to life after Lynch & whether he becomes a better player, or struggles with more attention.

For the FF's, Lloyd > Fevola IMO, as Lloyd has been more consistent over the years, but Fevola may change that this year by going up another level.

Just out of interest, is Rucci in anyones top 50 journalists at the Advertiser?

Not in mine.

 

[bobneil130]

I don't mind these sorts of lists Bob. As long as you don't take them too seriously. It's a bit like compiling a list of your favourite films or albums...it's all a matter of personal taste.

Fair call.

No room for Mia Handshin? Mate - if you saw her she would catapult into the top 5!!!

Mate, she tends to bomb the ball long and burn the footy. And Robert Walls and Mike Sheehan didn't have her in the Top 50 either. Rooch's own words.

Rucci has ben cousins way too high; surprised this hasn't been mentioned.

I made this same comment to my mate on saturday. While Cousins is a very good player he gets a lot of his touches running past a team mate and recieving that sucker handball that builds his stats up. He is a very goos player but no way in hell is he better than Ricciuto and a couple of ofthers that are listed below him.

As for Brown, I happen to rate him extrenely highly. Maybe even too much. If there is one player I would want at the Crows its Brown. He takes his tougness a bit too far at times but I rather he do than than not exert any physical presence.

I would give macca23's and noddy's left testicles to see Brown in Crows colours

 

[jo172]

josh carr is very overrated, port just boosted him up when it became clear he was heading home. He did nothing during the finals last yr. Just a tager really. There most imp midfielder by a mile is roger james, hes the one who gets it out. He should of been in the top 25, ahead of peter burgoyne any way.

Agreed but to be fair that's what we did with Stinger, him and Carr were fairly much on par but Carr could of won a Norm Smith!

There is no question Roger James should be in the top 50 IMHO. I rate him VERY VERY highly but surely you are taking the ******** out of us with Josh Carr comments

Josh Carr >>>>>> Tyson Stenglein

No, not that much better.

But better by a fair margin

If I volunteer their right one's as well, maybe we can get Riewoldt as well!

Shouldn't be hard to find with that pair of Cecils.

 

[outback jack]

not that much, its an easy option to say carr is a great player, as its part of port propaganda to ram that down our throats. In the end, josh too was a tagger, who only last yr developed into a midfielder, tyson gets a lot of hardball too. Josh is marginally better, and port played the carr trade very well to get more than he’s worth.

You're a vengeful bastard Stiffy.

Just coz I turned you into a gelding with a couple of careless wagers on Matthew Smith winning the Brownlow, this is how you act.

 

[tribey]

Oh, and Dyertribe, get off your anti-Brown crusade.

My post mentioned many players in respect to their positions in these top-10 lists, not just Brown.

Perhaps you should get off your 'anti-dyertribe posts that contain differing opinions to mine' crusade?

Now who the fook are you?

Now Crowked. You are just being facetious.

The tea lady on floor 6 is a much better writer than Rex Jory.

You've got a point. Word on the street is that she ghost writes for him. He's just the pretty face.
