Brad Johnson should be in the top 50. Full stop.

Saying that, no Cross? He was stiff not to get All Australian honours

Mike didn't put him in, because of his kicking abilities.

But apparently, he was very closing to cracking the 50.

Gave the same reason for Thompson as well.

Re: Mike Sheahan's Top 50

If kicking was such a high priority then where's Gilbee? Already an All-Australian, noted best kick in the league, pretty much created the 'quarterback' role from half-back. Gibbs and Thomas and Birchall ahead of him? Ridiculous.

And I've re-read the preamble to the top 50, and I don't see anywhere that it's supposed to be based 'on potential'. It's just Mike top 50 players, full stop.

And if he's going to pick Dale flippin' Thomas ahead of Brad Johnson that's all I need to know about his footy judgment.

Now there are two words that should never be used in an item that refers to Mike Sheehan. It's both anti axiomatic and self contradictory.
