Sheehans Top 50

[koutamarto]

I know this was last week sometime, but does any 1 else think Marc Murphy was a bit stiff not be named. I Shouldn't take stock of what this flog Stick writes, I know, but i Just feel that ppl outside of the blues dont rate him that much.

Some1 finishes 10th in the comp for Disp, 2nd or 3rd in kicks and in the top 5 for i50 u would think that would warrant a spot. Admittedly he had his kicking issues but still kicks more good passes than bad 1's.

Thoughts.??

Next year barring injury he will be in the top 30.

He was stiff this not to make it at all this year.

 

[Jeremias]

He probably was unlucky, but I couldn't care less about the list - it's just some journalists opinion.

Let Murphy fly under the radar.

Yep. Some of the selections were plain idiotic.

 

[Sam The Doc]

questionable disposal at times...prob top 70?

 

[Warsaw]

I think ozzy made the cut which is a joke considering Murph played cornfields better than him.

 

[carlton 4ever]

MURPHY >>>>>>>>>> davis, sandilands and ozzy

Spot on there, with Judd and Stevo getting the two best taggers, Murph seems to just do exactly wat u said

 

[Weiterbot23]

I hope murh steps up cos his an old friars boy, but i reckon he has zero defensive skills, judd and stevo aren't much better.

Gibbs and kruz will both be better.

But murh will have a pretty easy ride for the rest of his career, between judd, stevo and gibbs and hopefully a gun pick 6, he will never see another tagger again.

There was a blog thingy on the herald sun site this week talking live with mike, and I asked where Marc finnished, he responded with between 50 and 60.

 

[RiCHii]

Well next year top 50 for Marc surely.

But the truth of it is that top 50 is a pile of crap, I mean Mike rated Fevola 7th and Judd 10th which to me makes no sense because if it wasn't for Chris Judd then Fevola perhaps would not have even made it into the top 10 of that list.

 

[Weiterbot23]

i hope fev doesn't find out his rated 7th best player in the comp

 

[RiCHii]

i hope fev doesn't find out his rated 7th best player in the comp

I think if he put his mind to it he could be in the top 5 or even the top 3.

Your probably right, i just don't reckon fev needs anyone telling him how good he is. I'm quite sure our brendon doesn't have any self eestem issues.

 

[prettyboy65]

im also quite sure of that
he could get to a confidence level that the club would have to put him on depressants so that he would sleep at night

 

[BlueYoss]

Would he still do his Top 50 list if he was on the AA selection committee?

OTOH he puts his opinion out there and accepts the criticism and acknowledges when he's been proven wrong. Can't really ask for much more. I don't mind him.

 

[thylacine60]

Doubt the big fella knows what 7th means.

 

[bludrew79]

I wouldn't really worry... Pretty sure that in 2-3 years we will be like Geelong and have 10 guys in this list... I mean Thornton will get a guensey if Harley can... Oh god what a dud that guy is... Harley that is

Say what you like about him as a player - he is a gun captain. It's called the Brearley Concept.

 

[bludrew79]

Very fair call.. inspires the boys
But does anyone think that leadership is a key aspect in the decision on top 50 players?? or better yet, does his leadership make up for his skills to make him an elite player?

Sheahan's 50 has always run into parameter issues. Comparing players is what keeps even bad pubs ticking over.

Judd has great defensive pressure. Pretty sure he was leading Carlton in tackles this season. Stevo SHit****

Not sure how many guys Stevo needs to murder on the field before he get's a break from his own supporters. Using Prostats, Stevo averaged four tackles to Judd's five. Was only a whisker behind Gibbs, and ahead of Murphy, Simpson and Scotland.

Or does our best outside mid, with the best disposal in the team need to be eaeding the contested ball and tackle counts as well before he is rated?

 

[FieryNayta]

Lasy year Sheehan put both Pendlebury AND Dale Thomas in the top 50!! Murph has had a better season than what those guys did last year. Joke.

But its a tough list to make, i dont blame him. Someone is always bound to be dudded (not that its important at all anyway)

 

[jd2006]

Doesn't it feel great knowing that on their day we have 2 of the top 3 players in the competition. The only other player running hot that is as good as Judd n Fev is Buddy. Not even Ablett can match those 3 guys
