Your 2023 Top 10 Players
Well, Robbo's had a go and so has some 16 year old pimply kid in the ESPN basement so we might as well have a stab. From 1 -10 get down your best (or most important to their team) 10 players in the competion in order. If they're controversial perhaps provide a line on why they're so high. You should incorporate the players past history in your delibertaions, their current stock and consider their ceiling and what they might be able to achieve over the next three years.
Who ya got right now?
FYI I have Bont and Naughton in my top 10.

Re: Your 2023 Top 10 Players
1. Bont.
2. Brayshaw.
3. May.
4. Laird
5. Gawn
6. Cripps
7. Blicavs
8. Lynch
9. Liberatore
10. Maynard
Don't @ me
Maynard for me is the gauge for the pies. Brings the attitude the others follow.
Blicavs well he's so versatile, he's ability to play tall or small is under rated.
Laird like Maynard, he's the gauge for the Crows, tackling machine gets plenty of it severely under rated.
The rest are pretty obvious.
May and Gawn are Melbourne's most important.
Oh Brayshaw - he's a star so that's a captains pick. Very important to Freo.

I think Gawn gives it nudge. I'll try and work out mine.

Re: Your 2023 Top 10 Players
1. Petracca - at their best, he and Bont are neck and neck for mine. We just didn't seen enough of it from Bont last year.
2. Cripps
3. Neale - admit there are a lot of junk stats in there, still think he's a game breaker
4. Bont
5. Cameron
6. Oliver
7. Curnow
8. Gawn
9. Moore
10. Brayshaw - does he hurt teams enough? I don't watch enough Freo, but I've never been as impressed as others

Re: Your 2023 Top 10 Players
1. Oliver - brutally dominant stoppage force, and likely the greatest player of all time to never really learn how to kick
2. Bont - all damage all the time and the best kick in the AFL
3. May - complete jerk who also happens to be a one man All Australian backline
4. J. Cameron - weapon of a player who can score from anywhere inside 50 and set up scores from anywhere outside it.
5. Petracca - not as much of a Big Bull as Channel 7 will have you believe at stoppages but is the as good at taking a game away in 5 minutes as there is
6. Gawn - best ruckman by a mile, outstanding tap work and also a really underrated aerialist
7. Cripps - a lesser Bont but might be the strongest guy in it
8. Neale - do-it-all mid with an increasing ability to hit the scoreboard and could elevate now that he has some actual help inside.
9. Stewart - intercept master, current holder of the Michael Johnson Medal for most annoying guy for the Bulldogs to play against
10. Greene - unabashed dickhead, pure danger inside 50 and undeniably intimidating to a lot of players
Honourable mentions to Lynch, Curnow, Sicily, Mills, Dawson, Brayshaw, Miller and Naughton.

Re: Your 2023 Top 10 Players
There's a lot of bias in mine
1. Bont
2. Miller (can you be a top 10 player and still underrated?)
3. J Cameron (he is a prime difference maker on field)
4. Petracca (can do it all - the short Bont with more leg-power)
5. Andy Brayshaw (projected)
6. Cripps (no Cripps, no Carlton)
7. Laird (untaggable)
8. Naughton (no KPF has his ground game - and he's better int he air than Curnow)
9. Oliver
10. Neale (cleanest ground ball player in the comp)
TBH If Miller, Laird & Andy Brayshaw played for Vic clubs they'd get more love in the media IMO.
