Ahahahaha Nick Maxwell at 38. How overrated is this bloke? If he wasn't captain of Collingfail he would be just an ordinary player. If he is better than Deledio.................

Mike's now revealed his top 10 so I've added it to the first post.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Leon Davis at 45 after a poor finals series in 2002,03,06,07,08 and 09.
How much credibility is there in this? Just a popularity contest for flavour of the month and keeping some higher profile clubs in the print.

[tigersalive]

Ones that stand out:

Goodwin is too high.
The porpoise should be higher.
Maxwell should be lower.
Marc Murphy should be lower.
Goodes should be higher.
Where is Sam Gilbert?
Where is Scott Thompson from Adelaide?

Agree 100%.

Not a bad top 15 or so but some perplexing choices and placings after that from Mike even if he did bias it towards finals form.

6 Collingwood players. Did Mike miss their Prelim Final flogging did he  when you compare to the Dogs who just missed out on the GF by a kick yet only have 4 players in his top 50. Mike pandering to Pies fans.

Maxwell better than Buddy  .

How did Clint Jones get in yet Hodge and Cooney miss out  ???
