Mikes top 50

[flashdance36 2]

No Aaron Davey from positions 50-11?

No Aaron Davey from positions 50-11?

He played to far up the Ground in 2009. He got a lot of kicks that were good but they were not necesarily damaging to opposition teams.

Next year could well be different.

[rpfc 28,779]

Had a great year. But less effective than other players because he was surrounded by a lot of rubbish.

Also, if I was unbiased, I could name 50 players that had better seasons than our Aaron Davey.

But, I am biased...

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Some of you got that, I know you did. You had a chuckle...

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Like anyone cares anyway...

I must admit I thought Davey would be on the cusp at best, then I went to the 41-50 placed players, and there's a few in there that Davey easily has pipped for consistency alone.

I think perhaps Sheahan rates the player's team's ladder position more highly than he should. ie, if Davey really was that good, then why is his team 16th?

Flawed logic, IMO, but I guess in some cases it's useful to put a wedge between names you just can't separate.

M.Sheahan's Top 50....pffft.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

And our women!

[Trisul 664]

It's next year and beyond that Davey should be able put the trackwork to use in a more damaging and noticable fashion.

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Your influences boggle and bedazzle rpfc

It is easy to settle this one. Ask anyone who they would rather have Davey or the other three. Can you imagine a $2.5m offer for one of them?

[Diablo Deemon 220]

If I was to rate the top 50 afl journalist's going around Sheahan wouldn't get a mention

If I was to rate the top 50 afl journalist's currently suffering from senility Sheahan would rate no 1.

his non sensical ramblings are famous for causing dementia amongst his readers

Doesn't necessarily mean he had a better year than those guys. Just that he's a better player (or worth more to the club than the other blokes)

[titan_uranus 25,045]

Sheahan's top 50 does nothing more than promote discussion about how far off the mark Mike Sheahan is.

What the hell is Lance Franklin doing there? Davey had a better, more consistent year than he did.

No he didn't. Honestly no Melbourne player deserved to make it this year and i can't see what he has done wrong with his top 50. There is no position in which he is totally wrong. Remember its all subjective

I know it's subjective. That's what opinions are.

I believe Franklin did not have as good a year as Davey. Franklin was up and down, some games good, some games bad. Davey was more consistent IMO.

[Supermercado 2,802]

Every year this list comes out and everyone has a coronary over it. Who cares? It's some guy's opinion. Write your own Top 50 if you're that offended.

Surely everyone's used to us getting ignored by now.

[Sir Why You Little 37,145]

i was more Offended this morning when i read Mike Sheahan's article about a Drawn Grand Final.

Mike of course wants extra time to be played if the scores are tied.

SHUT UP MIKE. If the game is a draw it is replayed the following week

I like the Replay, & yes i was there at both in '77

You are such a dull journalist, only ever reporting on last weeks or yesterdays news.

Time for the Pethadiene & retirement village old man. SHUT IT.

he did kick 65 goals in 21(?) games. i agree with sylvias no demon player deserved to be in the top50 imo.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

The only reason I'm surprised he didn't make the top 50 is because Mike mentioned earlier about how stiff Davey was to miss the All Australian squad of 40.

[beelzebub 23,383]

Well.. hes probablya bit stiff to miss out as theres a handful in there who might well have not had as good a year as we believe Flash did but then that might speak to our point of view and no an overview.

Ol' Aaron better get his skates on and put in a few blinders and show them their errors , as well as earning his new big paycheck

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

It's an effing disgrace...ribble, rabble...they took our jobs!

Dey took yer jerbs!

EDIT: Jurrah is unlucky not to be in the top 50.
