Having read the Stevens' article in the Saturday Herald Sun (17/05/08);
I really had to get opinions on 2 things.

1) Our Top 10 Players NOW.

and

2) Our Top 10 Players in 4 years. (The year Stevens' reckons we'll be serious premiership contenders)
 
NOW (2008)

1)Judd
2)Fevola
3)Stevens
4)Waite
5)Scotland
6)Murphy
7)Thornton
8)Walker
9)Carrazzo
10)Gibbs

4 years (2012)

1)Judd
2)Murphy
3)Waite
4)Kreuzer
5)Fevola
6)Gibbs
7)Walker
8)Stevens
9)Scotland
10)Our First-Round Draft pick of 08
 
1. Judd
2. Fev
3. Stevo
4. Scotland
5. Murphy
6. Waite
7. Thornton
8. Fisher
9. Carrazzo
10. Walker(would be higher without injury)

appoligies to Simpson, Hadley, Gibbs, Betts etc

and in a few years

1. Judd
2. Murphy
3. Fev
4. Kreuze
5. Gibbs
6. Waite
7. Walker
8. Jammo
9. Hampson
10. Bower

Stevo will still be good but im unsure were in our top 10 he will sit
 
Predicting our top 10 players in 4 years is nigh on impossible.

As for now...

1. Judd
2. Fevola
3. Stevens
4. Waite
5. Murphy
6. Scotland
7. Thornton
8. Fisher
9. Hadley
10. Walker

The above is based on a mixture of not only talent, but importance to the side.

Guys like Simpson, Carrazzo and Betts are unlucky to miss out.

2008
Right this second, i'd have to say...

1. Brendan Fevola
2. Nick Stevens
3. Chris Judd
4. Andrew Carrazzo
5. Jarrod Waite
6. Marc Murphy
7. Paul Bower
8. Heath Scotland
9. Bryce Gibbs
10. Kade Simpson

(I've probably forgot someone important, so excuse me!)


2012
I'm with Jeremias on this one, it's so hard to tell where we'll be in four years, but i'll give it a crack.

1. Marc Murphy
2. Chris Judd
3. Bryce Gibbs
4. Brendan Fevola
5. Andrew Carrazzo
6. Matthew Kreuzer
7. Kade Simpson
8. Heath Scotland
9. Nick Stevens
10. Paul Bower
 
If Scotland is in our best 10 in 4 years time I doubt we'll be premiership contenders.

My future Top 10 in no particular order

Judd
Murphy
Fevola
Waite
Gibbs
Kreuzer
Walker
Hampson
One of Grigg, Browne, Bower, Pfeiffer et al.
Future draft pick
 
2008
1. C.Judd
2. B.Fevola
3. N.Stevens
4. J.Waite
5. M.Murphy
6. H.Scotland
7. A.Walker
8. B.Thornton
9. B.Fisher
10. A.Carrazzo

2012
1. C.Judd
2. M.Kreuzer
3. B.Gibbs
4. M.Murphy
5. B.Fevola
6. J.Waite
7. A.Walker
8. M.Jamison
9. S.Browne
10. N.Stevens
then Hammer
 
Now:
Judd, Fevola, Murphy, Stevens, Waite, Kreuzer, Thornton, Fisher, Scotland, Simpson.
Gibbs + Carrazzo + Walker just miss out.


4 years time:
Judd, Murphy, Kreuzer, Fevola, Gibbs, Hampson, Bower, Walker, Browne, Stevens.
Simpson + Thornton + Fisher + Scotland still important but hopefully the young guys like Browne, Walker, Bower, etc step up so there is less reliance on the older blokes.
 
I've noticed among everyone's top 10 there are no forwards in our 2012 top 10. It really highlights our deficiency with forward-line depth. Step up Snake or Harts please....
 
Don't rate him as a Top 10 player in a premiership side at 32 years of age.

Scotland might play a p.burgoyne (and formerly Joel Bowden role); which is being the marshall and racking it up off half back. He would be less of a force in the midfield but could still be valuable at that age nevertheless.
 
2008
1. B.Fevola
2. C.Judd
3. N.Stevens
4. J.Waite
5. M.Murphy
6. H.Scotland
7. B.Thornton
8. C.Cloke
9. K.Simpson
10. B.Fisher

2012
1. B.Gibbs (you watch)
2. M.Murphy
3. C.Judd
4. A.Walker
5. M.Jamison
6. M.Kreuzer
7. J.Kennedy (just a feeling)
8. B.Fevola
9. P.Bower
10.S.Grigg
Then Waite.

2012:

1. M Murphy
2. M Kruezer (I really cant pick between the top 3)
3. B Gibbs
4. C Judd
5. B Fevola
6. A Walker
7.N Stevens
8. M Jamison
9. P Bower
10. J Waite
 
I cant be bothered doin mine but I think Simpson deserves some more respect. Would just about be in my top 5 i reckon. He may not be flashy or anything but his intensity and willingness to always give 100% is an example the rest of the team should follow. And you need blokes like that in premiership teams.
 
Now
1. Judd
2. Fevola
3. Stevens
4. Murphy
5. Waite
6. Simpson
7. Thornton
8. Scotland
9. Carrazzo
10. Fisher

2012
1. Judd
2. Gibbs
3. Murphy
4. Kreuzer
5. Hampson
6. Jamison
7. Walker
8. Bower
9. Browne
10. Anderson

Needed. One of a either a FF or a CHF.
