Not a bad list. The top 10 for the most part is pretty balanced and isn't overly dominated by inside midfielders. I still don't know why people rate Cyril Rioli that highly and why people seem to always put Callan Ward as "the best" GWS player when if you ask me I'd go Heath Shaw or Dylan Shiel but for the most part I think it's a decent list.

Robbo took this 'top 50' over from Mike Sheahan. It's meant to be a prediction for the top 50 players of 2017. It's also good clickbait for the Hun for Robbo to be "controversial" with his choices.

Almost 400 players get to an opportunity to play in the AFL each week .  Theres over 700 on an AFL list.

We have 4 in the top 50 yet even the faithful have us missing finals . Some have bottom 4 or worse.

Second and third tier - time to stand up !!!!

[big tone]

Not to bad a list.

But Jack is a far better player than 48.
Seriously if you had the choice today of Jack or his cousin (23 on his list) anyone with even half a brain would choose Jack.

[Andyy]

Tom Lynch ? Lol

Seriously?

Not only have I been all over us to grab this guy for 2+ years but we could have picked him in the draft.

Last three years:
Games - 62
Goals - 155

199cm 98kg. He will be 24 years old for the whole season. Has mongrel in him and will be the next captain IMO.

Lynch is the most valuable commodity (if you had to look at everyone in terms of trading) in the league along with Heeney IMO
