1) Dusty          - #1!  All hail Dusty the Great
2) Jack            - one of the great forwards in the league
3) Lynch          - bargain of the century
4) Grimes        - one of the great defenders in the league
5) Edwards      - creative genius, consistently three moves ahead of the play
6) Prestia         -  hard, tough & damn effective
7) Cotchin        - Captain of the courageous, not his greatest year but still valuable
8  Vlastuin       - future captain
9) Lambert      - from nowhere to everywhere   
10) Nank         - pivotal colossus
11) Houli         - all class, can't have too little of that
12 ) Rance       - clearly in our top 2-3, but not when he can't play
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

You leave out Rance yet put Jack and Cotch at 2 and 3 who have missed huge parts of the 2019 season.
Are you doing top 12 for this year or top 12 in terms of who you think are the best players?

At first thought my thinking was to put Cotchin in the top 4 on reputation however the fact is he has barely fired a shot in 2019. ( because of injury)
We seem to miss other players like Lambert/ Edwards  more.

Rance has done his ACL nearing 30. Rance pre-ACL was one of our big 4 but we don't know how he'll be on return. It's harsh but someone who isn't playing and hasn't played for 6 months naturally drops down the order IMHO.

Jack and Cotch are back in the team playing key roles. Cotch was crucial in turning the QF around early in the 2nd qtr. Demonstrated again why he is captain.

Wow, what a hard thing to do!

1. Dusty
2. Lynch
3. Rance
4. Grimes
5. Prestia
6. Houli
7. Edwards
8. Vlastuin
9. Jack
10. Cotchin
11. Lambert
12. Castagna / Broad


Yes I actually rate George and Broadsword that highly.

George for manic attack on the ball, Broad for being a tough unit and shutting players out like Hipwood the last two times we played those pretenders!
