    The AFL players rate their top 50

    There are 15 more players to be named (top 15) and still not a single Bulldog in the list. I'd be shocked if Bontempelli doesn't make it, but it seems plausabile a few of our other players such as JJ, Boyd M, Dahl aren't going to rate a mention.

    Are we being underrated? Or are we just such a well-rounded, non-positional side that individuals are thought of by us highly because of the sum of our parts?
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

    Does the atypical AFL player even watch footy?

    We have an even list, but when Essendon have 4 in the 16-50 zone and we have none it doesn't seem right.... But winning a flag seriously decreases my care factor with these lists anyway.

        Considering most AFL boast that they don't watch football at all, then this list carries very little weight.

            I think they are going on perception and reputation.

              I thought either Dahl or Libba might be in the top 50. JJ even.

                I'd certainly have any of those 3 over Zorko, Cripps, Lewis and quite a few others

                  Up to number 10 and still no dogs players, so it must be Bonti and nobody else. How on earth did we win a flag with such an ordinary list?

                      Will Bont be number 2 or 3? Danger, Fyfe, Bont or 4 behind Ablett?

                        Nathan Burke did all the votes.

                          The Bont has come in number 5, ahead of Pendlebury 6, Josh Kennedy (Swans) 7 and Ablett 8. Selwood is 4 with the top 3 still to be revealed (Danger, Fyfe and Buddy).

                            1 player in the top 50.

                            I know these things don't matter - but seems ridiculous that ALL of Morris, Libba Dahlhaus, Macrae, Stringer, Wood and Johannisen missed. Would have thought at least a couple make it in.

                              Let the AFL players continue to under rate us. It's good for business.
