Top 50's Thread

[MTTY]

I see quinny has placed his opinion of the Top 50 AFL players up (after Mike Sheahan, released his), so since i didn't want to impose on quinny's thread i thought i'd open one up for everyone to post their opinions.

Fyfe is the most over rated player in the league. Better than Joel Selwood, Brett Deledio and Marc Murphy? NO WAY

Valid opinion, not in my opinion however....

Everyone is entitled to an opinion so I won't rip into yours. I'm just curious to know why Fyfe is #13 on your list when he has had ONE good season (where he wasn't even in the best 13 players that year anyway)? He is a GOOD player and has a rare set of talents, but the other guys are GREAT players.

Nice work MTTY. Well placed and balanced list.
Only one I would disagree with is Sandilands. Just misses to many games and in the twilight of his career
Like the list appart from that though. Not an easy thing to do

Exactly the reason he rates so high on my list, his rare set of skills that make him a better player than others. Along with the fact that he deals with attention better than Murphy, for the time being. Deledio and Selwood could be argued to be above him, however i see him as having the better all-round skills, particularly when paired against Selwood. Selwood's main strength is contested ball, however he isn't as dangerous forward of centre as players like Deledio, Fyfe, Dangerfield or even Kennedy.

So looking back on it, there is an argument within my reasoning for Deledio to be considered and rated higher than Fyfe on my list, going off my opinion.
