Our 5 best players?

Re: Our 5 best players?

Just looked up team. Add Michael Maclean, Neil Peart and Robt Groenewegon. Delete Dunne, Williams, Rod Macpherson, Egan, Kellett and Darren Baxter.
Of those 20 only 9 went on to have substantial careers with us whereas now we only have half a dozen who won't be around in a few years time. So, are in the best place we have ever been to win flags - let's cash in!

1.Bont
2.Libba
3.Macrae
4.Morris
5.JJ

Re: Our 5 best players?

1/ Bontempelli
2/ Dahlhaus
3/ JJ
4/ Macrae
5/ Morris

There isn't much difference between 2 and 10.. I guess that's why we are so good.

Re: Our 5 best players?

Best. Flat out most talented.

1. The Bont.
2. Stringer
3. Libba
4. T. Boyd
5. Murphy

About a dozen players missed a spot by about a small as margin as you can imagine.


Most important to us on matchday

1. Dahlhaus
2. Morris
3. JJ
4. The Bont
5. Libba
6. Roughead
7. T. Boyd

Can't pick five but at least five of those seven have to play if we are going to win.

Re: Our 5 best players?

I'm going to go with my first thoughts:

1. Bonti
2. Murphy
3. Dahlhaus
4. Morris
5. Wood

But then I remembered Libba. And Macrae. And Matty Boyd. And JJ. And Picken.

And I concluded that it's basically impossible.

I'd argue that he's even the best Boyd on our list!

Re: Our 5 best players?

Even or not even?

Even or not even?

Yeah, not even the best Boyd in our team.

I knew that didn't look right.

Re: Our 5 best players?

1. Bont
2. LibbA

Then its bloody tough!

3. Lukey D
4. Morris (this year, 2017 swap with Wood)

5. Caleb Daniel i feel will slip into our top 5 in 2017 and all australian. His footy brain and skill are outstandimg at his age.

But what about the unlucky ones left and the other future stars? Murph, Moyd, Toyd, Wally, String, JJ, Macrae, Picken and Roughy so important. I think the Dunk is going to be very good.

Don't forget Magic Maclean.

Re: Our 5 best players?

I've been struggling with this, but I'd probably go with:

Bontempelli
Wood
Dahlhaus
JJ
Picken

And then feel horrible I've left out many others...

Re: Our 5 best players?

Can everyone please discuss how close Picken and Dahlhaus are in terms of importance and why Dahl seems to be in front? Thanks.

Re: Our 5 best players?

Gun. I reckon he might have a tough 2017 but come back hard in 2018. Pressure, competition for spots, rule changes and even role changes. What about Webb?

Its a very good question, as most mention, its a raffle after number 1 but i guess the overall body of work from lukey D seems to be greater consistently. That may just be my perception, stats may or may not prove nor deny it. Picken would be one of the first names on the team sheet, went up a level this year and i wonder where the ceiling is.

Great signature 1eye.

Yeah I reckon. Dahl has done it at a higher level for longer. Picken is the benchmark for consistency really, but he does not operate at the level Dahl does, until this finals series of course. Picken was the player of the finals and it would be great if he can maintain this level throughout next year. If he does he'll be in our top 3 players.
