I expect most comments are going to be you copping flak, so I'll go against the grain and commend you for putting the time and effort into this. Obviously I'm not going to agree with all of your selections, but you're entitled to your opinions, and you're not being an ass and forcing them on anyone. Nice work.

Thank you Praetorian, ye i doubt most people will move past swan at #1

[JBs-Hawks]

Would probably swap harry taylor with marc murphy.

Top 10 are pretty easy but 10-50 you can basically flip coins with its all personal opinion there. But i do think Glass is the best full back in the game atm so should be higher than your other defenders.

Na i watched him last year and he already seems to be on the major decline and I think that will continue this year, Gibson, Taylor and Reid are ridiculously under-rated.

[Thedreamteamgod]

i disagree with your first few.
mine is
1. Ablett
2.Pendlebury
3.Franklin
4.Swan
5.Judd
6.Selwood
7. Mitchell
8. Cox
9. Goddard
10. Cloke

No problem with Swan at 1. He was last year's Brownlow medallist after all, and is probably the most influential member of what has been one of the most influential teams in the AFL for the past five years.

That's a pretty solid top 10, its not that diffrent to my own. I just have taylor instead of mitchell, and goodes over cloke

Gibson is too small to be the leagues best defender. As a hawk fan i wish he was but whenever he gets a true power forward they are just too big.

nice post mate, i agree with most of it

Yeah i reckon cloke is more instrumental than goodes and Mitchell is the best playmaker ever. im a melbourne supporter, so i say that

[magoo46]

pretty solid, I think gaj is number 1 by quite a bit atm personally. Would like to see Simon Black a bit higher...The only real crime is not having J.Brown in there, I know he's missed alot of football but you've got Lenny in there and I think when fit he will still be top 4ish power forwards in the comp. ps i am a Lions supporter
