Don't get me started but..... OVER-RATED

[nrich102]

Rocky should be in it. As well as Prestia, JOM, Rory Thompson, Jack Redden, Pearce Hanley and Joel Patful should be there as well.

[henry]

Hawks wise I think you'd have to include Hodge, Mitchell, Roughead and Gibson. A few others that could be close too. Looking forward to it  :)

When is this list coming out?

And here we go...

A lot of controversy I'm sure, but tear it apart! (Constructively.....)

2013

Rank (Last Year)

1 (1). Gary Ablett jnr (Impossible to move from his #1 spot)

2 (30). Joel Selwood (A new level for the Cats skipper, captaining the Cats to another successful year)

3 (45). Jarryd Roughead (The dominant forward in the competition this year, the Hawks built there year around him)

4 (26). Scott Pendlebury (Coaches award, and continues to all class, all the time)

5 (NR). Will Minson (Big Will! Never thought this would happen, clearly the best ruckman this year)

6 (NR). Ryan Griffen (Another Bulldog who went up a level, I think now an elite midfielder)

7 (NR). Harry Taylor (Huge fan of big Harry, and the CHB of the All-Aus team will always feature high in this list!)

8 (NR). Scott D Thompson (As per usual, the best full back in the comp will also always feature high in this list! Consistent for the Roos for a long time).

9 (NR). Nat Fyfe (Could not believe he wasn't in the All-Aus side, as this guy is a star. Will be cursing his first quarter in the GF though).

10 (42). Steve Johnson (Another player I could not believe was not in the All-Aus side, I think his best year ever, despite missing 6 weeks through suspension).

11 (NR). Jarrad McVeigh (The Swans co-captain was terrific and inspirational off half-back).

12 (5). Patrick Dangerfield (Just a superstar in a tough year for the Crows)

13 (33). Kieran Jack (Love how this kid plays, as he took up his game to another level as Swans Co-Captain).

14 (NR). Travis Cloke (Would have pushed for #1 if he could kick straight, best mark in the comp)

15 (29). Dane Swan (His stats demand selection every time)

16 (NR). Todd Goldstein (The Roos big-man proved himself against all doubters).

17 (2). Jobe Watson (Injury, controversy, team decline could not stop him from continuing to be a true star).

18 (NR). Michael Barlow (Part of the Freo big 3 in the midfield)

19 (NR). Luke Hodge (Now a premiership captain, and was masterful across back)

20 (NR). David Mundy (Him, Barlow and Fyfe amazing all year)

21 (16). Sam Mitchell (Another huge year for the dual premiership star).

22 (NR). Michael Johnson (Did the job all year in the best defensive unit in the comp).

23 (NR). Travis Boak (Captained Port Adelaide to a fairytale year)

24 (NR). Pearce Hanley (Ireland deliver another star)

25 (NR). Chris Mayne (A key reason for Freo's shot at the flag)

26 (NR). Andrew Walker (Stepped up a gear for the Navy blues, a crime wasn't nominated for All-Aus)

27 (NR). Alex Rance (The Tiger's big-man took apart many big name forwards each week)

28 (NR). Nick Malceski (Backed up last year's Grand Final heroics)

29 (NR). Robert Murphy (Everyone loves Bob)

30 (NR). Dan Hannebery (Only consistency stopped him from being higher)

31 (22). Josh Gibson (3 years and counting in this list, does the small and tall job each week)

32 (NR). Josh J Kennedy (Faded away towards the end of the year, but was one of the most dangerous forwards in the league)

33 (NR). Tom Rockliff (His last half of the year was sensational)

34 (24). Grant Birchall (Struggled with the tag at times, but still an amazing year)

35 (NR). Nick Riewoldt (The old-fella had a huge year for his struggling Saints)

36 (32). Corey Enright (Mr. Dependable)

37 (NR). Chad Wingard (Can't overlook 40 goals from this future superstar)

38 (NR). Ryan Crowley (*shudders* but was clearly the best tagger going around).

39 (7). Dean Cox (the forgotten ruck man was still huge in 2013)

40 (NR). Richard Douglas (One of the most improved the comp)

41 (NR). Justin Westhoff (The Hoff took Port Adelaide forward)

42 (3). Trent Cotchin (Still great numbers, but down on last year's break through)

43 (NR). Michael Hibberd (Another of the league's great improvers)

44 (NR). Kade Simpson (the beard gets him in this list)

45 (NR). Joel Patfull (A couple of years of consistency down back often goes unnoticed)

46 (NR). Jack Gunston (A terrific finals series should have the Hawks feeling ok if they lose Buddy)

47 (NR). Drew Petrie (Another solid year)

48 (NR). Michael Walters (Great year from the small forward)

49 (NR). Jack Steven (The Saints have found a gem)

50 (NR). Tom Liberatore (The son-of-a-gun is now a gun).

[Mailman the 2nd]

Solid list you have there, I especially like the added attention to non-midfielder positions.

I'd probably have Pyke over Cox, but that's me being biased

[BB67th]

Nice list, good to see that Kieren Jack is now a captain for Adelaide :P

[Mailman the 2nd]

Nice list, good to see that Kieren Jack is now a captain for Adelaide :P

I saw that too lol

[ossie85]

lol, he's that good!

And fixed

[henry]

Oustanding job there mate I reckon, can't dispute that at all really.  :)

[Noz]

Cant argue with that only thing i would do is bring Libba up a lot higher than 50.

[Ziplock]

cameron :(

[CrowsFan]

I like how I have 3 of the top 5 in my WXV team :)

Nice effort with the list Ossie. Only change I would have would be having Sloane in the list ahead of Douglas.
