God Ryan Griffen is overrated.  18 is ridiculous for him.  Does anyone really think he is better and more crucial than Lids?

Let's not stop there Peggles.

Dane Swan only the 13th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Marc Murphy the 14th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Ahead of Luke Hodge only the 16th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Harry O'Brien the 24th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Bernie Vince the 33rd best player in the AFL?   :lol
Shaun Burgoyne the 36th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Brian Lake only the 43rd best player in the AFL?   :lol
Kurt Tippett, Robbie Gray and Graham Johncock the 45th, 46th and 47th best players in the AFL?   :lol  (All SA players btw)   :lol
Ahead of Boomer Harvey only the 48th best player in the AFL?   :lol
Danyle Pearce the 50th best player in the AFL?   :lol

And at the least, those last few ahead of Heath Shaw, Bryce Gibbs, Brad Green, Ryan O'Keefe, Sam Gilbert, Shane Mumford, Matt Priddis and James Kelly?   :rollin :rollin :rollin

He mentions criteria and then promptly ignores it.  SA-centric clueless wanker.  His most glaring mistake was the last choice - Joker = M. Rucci (Knobsville 4ths).

Griffin @ 18 and Deledio @ 41 this really irks me. I think Deledio is a much more accomplished Player even though the stats say they match up even. It's so typical when the media overate a player just because they play for the bulldogs. History repeats.

It's a South Australian paper, so I guess they'd want to push a couple of croweaters up the order a bit

Probably but that just means credibility = 0.  Be better off doing a list of Top 50 SA players and then they can all have a mutual flog-off.

why is there even a thread for Rucci. He is a Port tragic. With a name like that he is bound to have issues

This from a guy who had John Anthony at number 50 2 years ago.  :wallywink

Take a deep breath boys turn the page and don't give it the time of day it deserves.
