Sheehans top 50?

[GVGjr]

What did everyone think of Sheehan's top 50 players for the 2008 season?

One think that stood out for me is the way some in the media overrate Tom Harley. If he is in the top 20 then the standard of football wasn't great this season. Scott Thompson at 47 undervalues his season in my opinion. I admire Scarlet but surely he wasn't the 5th best player for the season.

Thoughts?

I noticed his underhand dig at the Brownlow medalist by having him at no. 9

I didn't see it that way. Would you have had Cooney at number 1?
I have no problem with Ablett and Franklin being ahead of him.

I dont have a problem with those two being ahead of him, nor Hodge or B.Harvey. I do have a problem with Scarlett Bartel and Fevola being ahead of cooney.

Tom Harley is a good honest player but is supported alot by his teamates. If you put him into say Collingwood's backline he would be found out with his lack of skill and such. I dont know how Sheehan rates Harley above Hudgeton.

I reckon you can say the same for about 9 other Geelong players,

Joel Corey at 3 is a disgrace.

I wouldn't have in the top 15.

Agreed. Corey was the biggest ball winner in the competition but he doesn't have the effect on games of ten or so below him.

Cooney>Fevola, Corey, Scarlett

Harley is way too high at 20, I would rate Lake on par with him and yet Lake doesn't even make the top 50.

Osborne is the biggest boo-boo though, so many players deserve to be in ahead of him. Gilbee deserves a spot if Mackie does.

Geelong were always going to have a bigger presence than they deserved, having only lost 2 games for the year. They don't deserve ten in the top 50, I think. Certainly don't deserve so many in the top 10. They're made to look better because of the support they get from those around them.

Probably would have had him around 5.

And I took it as a dig as Mike wrote an article the other week basically calling Cooney a hack and the worst Brownlow medal winner since Woewodin

Boyd must be over the moon to have made Mike's top 50.

Cooney at 5 is way to high. Top 12 is a fair spot. Do you have the link where Sheehan calls Cooney a hack and makes reference comparing him to Woey?

Where was Bob Murphy? Good enough to make the squad of 40 for AA.....

How is 5 too high? He is way better than guys like Corey.

People get blinded by players that are at fantastic teams. Corey never gets tagged and is basically given free reign by the oppostition club each and every week. Cooney has the number 1 tag every week and still has more affect on the game. I think 5 is right where he would slot in.
