Opinion Top 50 2014

[eaglespremiers]

From Melb (30) v WCE (123):
5. Shuey - Great to see Shuey back in form. Had 30 disposals (10 contested), 9 marks, 6 clearances and 2 goals. Really broke the lines with some pace and wasn't brain farting as much as the other mids on the ground.
4. Rosa - A great follow up game by Rosa. Was good linking up and also laid some good tackles. Had 31 disposals, 4 bounces, 9 i50s and a goal.
3. Masten - Some so-so decisions from Masten didn't mar what was still a great game. Had 25 disposals @ 88% efficiency, 3 clearances, 5 tackles and 2 goals.
2. Kennedy - A good game from Kennedy who was one of the few players on stiff competition for the day. Took 6 marks, laid 6 tackles, had 3 i50s and kicked 4 goals.
1. Mackenzie - It may, on paper, look like an easy game for Mackenzie. However, he still managed to hurt Melbourne the other way. Had 13 disposals, 5 marks, 3 rebounds from the back 50, 4 1%ers and kicked a goal.

So Rockliff is behind Zorko? What?

Apologies to Fyfe and Barlow who didnt even play?

Yes, I am of the opinion that Zorko has been your best player in the first three games.
Admittedly I thought Rockliff was better this week but Zorko kept you in rounds 1 & 2 and was superb.
Apologies mean players 21 and on. Fyfe and Barlow slide down the list because they have missed 1/3 of the season.
Missing 1-4 games in the grand scheme of things won't be penalised, but this early in the season it does make a difference in the rankings.
