I was referring to mcdonald, not edwards.
 ::)

Yeah, claw the assessment of development is accurate, and i too hope he comes on. if he makes the grade he will bring a bit of class to the forward line.

I was disappointed he struggled with injury all year. Hopefully we will get a good look at him next year.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Pretty spot on analysis there Ramps. It shows the big drop away on our list after our first half-dozen or players. LOL at Jacko's rating. 

The only changes I would make to the above (and this is probably nitpicking) would be that as much as I love Cotch as a footballer he's not A+ yet. I would still have him A- along with Dusty. Both while young guns have yet to tear the competition apart like a Judd or Ablett does in the midfield. Vickery would be a 'B' for mine by as I said it's nitpicking.

I think we tend to over value are players a tad especially at the top end.

Riewoldt having won a coleman medal, I consider the only player worthy of an "A" rating, the others ranked with an A I would have as B+

Martin & Cotchin have shown glimpses and improvement, but just yet, have not reached the A level.

Why????

Who knows man. My question to Ramps is: WTF is Maric doing at C (potential B)??? He's 25/26 and was struggling to play ones last year. If he's got the potential to become a B then Beefcake is at least a C+ already.

not happy with this. not at all

Maric was a D but because his a wog he goes up 1 level  ;D. In all seriousness Maric doesnt have to do much to get in front of go all in and his mate browne, in that instance he starts as a C.  :lol

Agree. Been re-watching some of our games from this year and he is a class above everyone on the list.

Maybe that's the differentiation to make.

A grade on our list, but not quite on the AFL full team list.

eg. Riewoldt makes it to A grade as he was 4th highest averaging scorer last season, whereas Cotchin was 26th on the average possession list. Then again Deledio came in at 14 just below Judd at 12 only averaging half a possession a game less, so I would upgrade my previous grading of him.

To me it depends on where you make the cutoff point statistically for A grade, past performances and what "type" of player.
eg. forwards I'd cutoff quite high, top 5-10, Mids around the 20, Ruckmen 8, the taller Defenders I find harder to qualify as it's often a pure negating role.
