    Our 5 best players?

    Who are they? Can you put them in order? Bloody tough after number 1. Can be most important if you're thus inclined.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Bloody hell. After Zaine it gets bloody tough I agree.

    Bonts, Tom Boyd, Stringer, Wood, Libba - maybe - but you can make arguments for a lot, lot more.

      This is a very tough question. 1. Marcus Bontempelli 2. Robert Murphy 3. Tom Liberatore 4. Easton Wood. 5. Tom Boyd

      I think only one player would universally be agreed to be Top 5. No prizes for guessing who!

        I'm still thinking. I have Dahl in my top 5 I think.

          Our best pure defender is still Morris in my book too.

            1. Bont (a lock)
            2. Libba (no coincidence how much better we were when he came back in)
            3. Picken (went in front of Dahl this year. Does everything and kicks goals).
            4. Dahl (is never, ever out of the game).
            5. Wood / JJ can't split them (different players, equally important).

            No Morris or Macrae is ridiculous really.

              If we are talking about future then Toyd's might be valid but if we are talking who are our best five now, he's not really in the equation.

              1. Bont
              2. Libba
              3. Dahl
              4. JJ
              5. Wood

              Apologies to Macrae, Moyd and Morris......Murph the unknown based on being out most of the year.
              I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                  Morris, Bont, Libba, Wood, M.Boyd

                  Murphy would be likely be in if not long term injured

                    The guy who had an ordinary year and still managed to almost average two goals a game will step up given full fitness. I can see why he doesn't figure in the lists now, but he plays a bloody difficult role for us.

                    It's a topic that really reinforces the strength of our recruitment of fine players.

                      Are you alright there Jeemak?


                      Have another one of the yellow ones.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        I was saying this at Grand Final time...one of the primary reasons we won the flag was because of the evenness across our side, which was underrated by throughout the football community.

                        I would say an outsiders top 5, pre finals, would have been:
                        Bont, Wood, Libba, M Boyd, Stringer. Not many non-Bulldogs rate Dahlhaus, Macrae, Morris or (pre-finals) JJ, Picken and T Boyd.

                        For me, our top 5 are:
                        Bont, Wood, Dahlhaus, Libba, Morris.

                          I did think the same thing, I love Stringer and he only dropped his form after he busted his shoulder.

                          The real point I guess is that we don't actually have a top 5. They're all great!

                              Sorry mate. Not sure where that came from. I certainly didn't post it. There might be demons here who found an iPad left on.
