jeez ol claw got it pretty  right id say. not that anyone around here would acknowledge anything.

thought about doing another appraisal for this yr.   then  thought na. not mentioning names thats for sure.  i cant be bothered putting up with the b/s  that some little people just have to put out.
 let someone else  put it out there and defend every word they say.. seems most dont want to hear it and certainly dont want to discuss whats written. just some bare numbers is about all  some of you lot deserve. .


3 elite players A graders
12 b/s players or there abouts. below stndard.
18 juniors or developing players
11 c and b graders that is good or consistant core list  and very good players.

Thought you had a pretty mixed bag tbh. Collins is more rough than diamond.

Fair bit of fence sitting in there too. ;) ;D

You have always loved Cox.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

lol i have rarely patted myself on the back and i reckon i have had ample opportunity to do so.  with so many around here looking for any chance to put the boots in i figured why not on this occasion. besides i wasnt the one who bought the thread back up.

besides any poster who posts stuff that could possibly open themselves up to ridicule should be able point out when they have it right dont you think.

on this site ive already become like most posters on here and am wary of putting anything out there because of the b/s you have to put up with. it doesnt make for a better site or robust debate about  our players and club.

I would not quite claim you a Nostradamus.

You have lacked the courage to rate deledio A grade. If he wasn't at the time he was very close. Tuck is not a below standard player. The sport is about kicking goals. Jack has won two two Coleman's and yet is d grade... Range is a very good running defender. I don't know why you'd think otherwise.

You forget Sandilands.  If he gets on the park, he is near unstoppable in the ruck and a great kick to target.  Just not hugely mobile but if he played for the weagles or the bummers or some team more noticable the comp would rate him one of the greatest.

Actually if you think of it, if he'd played his career at the Tiges I reckon he might be in our team of the century.  He's definitely better than any of our rucks since 1980, when I began watching footy.  But the guy in our Team of the Century Roy Wright is a dual brownlow medalist.  so maybe not TOTC
