where is ellis, tambling, gumbleton, masten, myers?

IMO the only true underachievers on that list are Sylvia, Tippett, Waite and Pearce. The others have been crap since entering the AFL. Sylvia shows his brilliance (36 possies, 4 goals in a losing side against Hawks) then dishes up lazy efforts.

No surprise to have 2 of ours in the top 10!!!

Good way to push up their value if they (Sylvia and Morton) are leaving and/or give them a rocket for next year if they are not. Also, outlines a good question for our prospective coach, i.e. "what would you do to get the best out of Sylvia and Morton?"

Wells was pick 2

Meesen pick 8

Bowler pick 6

Thorp pick 2

Butcher pick 8

Draft selection doesn't always reflect talent or potential, some clubs simply get it wrong.

The most frustrating thing about Sylvia is that I see a player who has big muscles, is a good height, strong hands, quick and has talent to burn. Then I look at someone like Dane Swan who waddles with tiny legs, is a bit chubby in the guts and has OK skills. Yet, the player that gets the ball more, uses it better and runs all day isn't Sylvia.

How come Caro and Hutchy didn't make the list?

This list is far from concrete. I agree that Morts and Sylvia possesses the skill to become elite, but one could argue there are another 15-20 current players who could make that list.

Just another BS article that isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

Fantastic comparison. The only thing that gets me with Sylvia is that he only gives one effort so if that one effort is good enough he looks great but more often than not it's not enough. I don't want to lose his talent so I'm hoping our new coach demands more of Col and gets more out of him.

A good response by Sylvia today. He's shown what he's capable of and reminded the doubters of his potency.

Has Viney gotten throught to him or was it this article?

Disappointed Flash had another shocker.

Why would you put Butcher on that list after his first two games? It makes you look stupid!!
