    Picking a Carlton player at Number 1 increases the readership A LOT.

    I mean, I have Bont as 1 and feel that's legitimately the case, but there are some other very good players in the comp.

    Any number of social media channels, forums, etc. I never said or meant anyone here. I just don't get why people get worked up about Robbo's list.

    Don't understand your doll reference when I am apathetic to the subject.

    It's a discussion generator for sure. Just had more cred when it was Sheahan. Just.

    It's not, that's why it's funny!

    Or.... maybe your point re people being outraged was being challenged. We'll never know what goes on in the esoteric mind of EW
