Mike Sheahan's top 50 for 2010

Featured Replies

  • Author

You were pretty adamant that we should have had more in Sheehan's preseason Top 50.

Err...no I wasn't.

 

It is very difficult to do a top 50 list, but Mike seems to do a bad a job as any.

Thomas at 9 is purely based on 2 Grand Finals, no doubt. He can't possible justify Dale Thomas at 9 if he did the list before the Grand Final.

I dont understand if he puts so much weight on this seasons performances, why Jobe Watson wasn't in the top 50.

Kade Simpson at 46, no Jobe Watson?

That's the sort of thing that makes Sheehans top 50 irrelevant.

 

Joke Watson?

Nah, don't rate him.

Alot do.

You and Mike don't.

That says a bit.


Mike & I are both considered to had expert opinions..?

Come on - Jobe Watson?

It's half essendon's problem when he's their best player.

What an embarrassment.

Jobe is a fine player and should have been in the Top 50 for 2010, needs some jets around him though in a big way. I think some people totally miss the point that it is based on the year only and argue incorrectly as a result.

I think Mike sometimes forgets his own rule and has players higher than their actual season should allow them to be, IMO. I think he also, especially of late, puts this huge rating to grand final performances and goes too far and this is why Daisy is so high.

He had a great season Thomas, a lot better than I have previously given credit for.

Hence Watson not in the top 50 makes a mockery of his list.

You don't watch alot of football, do you?

Sheahan's top 50 is only opinion, highly subjective opinion. A considerable man-crush on Daisy is the only reason he has made the top 10. Marc Murphy has topped Daisy from the 2005 draft right up until today, in every way a footballer could, yet Murphy didn't even make the list this year and Daisy finished at 9th. That's not just biased, it doesn't even make sense.

Murphy's a great player, but Daisy had the better year, no doubt about it.

It is the list of the 50 best players of the 2010 AFL Season.

For some reason 90% of people think that this is a list of the best players in the league. I believe he does that list at the start of each season. This list a review of the season just gone.

Yeah, that's fine.

As I said in the quote of mine that you have highlighted, If Sheehan is listing the top 50 players of 2010, leaving Jobe Watson out is criminal.

I'm fully aware of what his irrelevant list is about.

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
