Opinion Top 50

[Bunk Moreland]

It’s hard to compare different players, you can only really go on who would be first picked in a “start from scratch” draft.

I’m pretty confident 18 out of 18 clubs would pick McKay or Cameron ahead of any midfielder.

A reasonable effort, I'm certainly not one to judge unless I've put up my own top 50.

From St Kilda, I think Sinclair and King should be on the list.

Was the criteria looking back on 2022 or forward on 2023?

Jeremy Cameron at number one is a joke mate. So is Jordan Ridley and no Grimes or Vlaustin . No Daniel Rioli. And Bolton is easily top 6. Guthrie shouldn't be on the list either.

Best player in the best team at number one isn't too much of a stretch. Guthrie easily top 30 too as the joint winner.

I’d give my left nut for Cameron at the Pies. Impossible match up

Hang on, you actually think Sicily is not a top 50 player?

Yikes.

Has he been named your captain yet? If so he should never relinquish that role till retiring

We’d take the best available 186cm utility

I've never ever heard anyone say Jeremy Cameron is the best player in the league.

Idk how people can make top 50's it's too heckin hard. This was the best I could manage in no particular order and not even with 50 players.
I'm sure I forgot plenty of good players.

I've never ever heard anyone say Jeremy Cameron is the best player in the league.

I literally googled it and found this in under 10 seconds, not that it means it's true or anything. But is it really so surprising that someone might think the AA CHF and BnF winner from the premiership winning team has claims to being the best player in the league?

‘A 6ft 5 Dusty’: AFL champ declares big Cat ‘clearly the best player in the game’

‘A 6ft 5 Dusty’: AFL champ declares big Cat ‘clearly the best player in the game’

www.foxsports.com.au

Fox Footy’s David King believes Jeremy Cameron is “clearly” the best player in the competition, and warns Richmond faces a tough task stopping the star Cat.

Cameron hasn’t missed a match in 2022, sitting second in the Coleman Medal race with 39 goals while averaging more than 15 disposals a game.

According to Champion Data statistics, Cameron is ranked first in the competition for both field kicking and score involvements this year.

He is also the best kick in the competition, sitting at 13% above the AFL average.

Describing Cameron as a “six-foot-five Dustin Martin”, King said the milestone man was the “most difficult match up in AFL footy”.

“I think he is clearly the best player in the game right now,” he said on AFL360.

“He’s going to take us to places we don’t want to go.

“We talk a lot about midfielders that go forward. This is a forward that goes in the midfield – it’s the reverse.

“He glides across the ground. His coasting speed holds and maintains a gap on his opponent.”

I've never ever heard anyone say Jeremy Cameron is the best player in the league.

He’s the best player at the best team, the best key forward in the game, anyone who doesn’t think he’s in the conversation is a bit lost.

I reckon I’d have him #1 right now.

We’d take the best available 186cm utility

Same with us tbh, except 178cm.

He plays as the second forward and gets the 2nd best defender a lot.

s**t coaching from the other team then. No wonder he’s kicking arse

You guys did alright against them this year. With your ins I’m tipping you beat them next year.

You didn’t, but you “lolled” at my post suggesting it was likely an oversight. Wasn’t quite sure how else to take that reaction.

I laughed at the insecurity.

I'd have him in my list, but it's not as though he's a top 5-10 player in the game.

Those who have done the exercise in here seem to mostly have him at 35+ so it's not inconceivable or completely unreasonable for him to be outside 50 for some.

 

[Lingsface]

He also won a Coleman at another team with no forwards.

Agree.

I'm astounded he hasn't got 25 of the top 50 players from Richmond.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Bolton top 6
Laughable

You musn't follow AFL very closely.

Rich coming from the bloke who doesn't think a joint BnF winner from the premiership winning team should make a top 50 list...

Richmond just going to derail every thread because we don't rate their entire team as GOATS?

Why is Ridley in the top 50?

Probably because everyone hates Richmond
