List our current Top 10 on playing list (August 2012)

Thought I'd see where we think our current top 10 players are.

1- Nathan Jones

2- Mitch Clark

3- James Frawley

4- Mark Jamar

5- Jack Grimes

6- Liam Jurrah

7- Colin Sylvia

8- Sam Blease

9- Jack Trengove

10- Jeremy Howe

apologies to Jordie Mckenzie.

Maybe view it as, if these players were out injured, it would hurt our chances. Not based on potential (ie. Watts, T Mcdonald).

 

In no particular order;

Jones

Clark

Frawley

Jamar

Howe

Watts

Grimes

Martin

Jurrah

Trengove

Top 6 pick themselves, and yes, even Watts.

The next 4 are difficult - Grimes & Trengove must be in our Top 10, and they MUST continue to push to be in our Top 5 - I don't think they are there yet. Jurrah makes the list based on his past seasons scoring output. Stef Martin is the one that will be argued by some, but I think big Stef is a valuable contributor to the team. We have a lot of players that could be put in the 6-10 range, which is part of the reason why we are stuggling.

The thing that will continue to hurt us is the fact that we have minimal in the Top 50 in the league. Yeah, sure, the main one published is Sheehan's, but still, I would only have Jones and Clark in the 30+ range based on this year. We need to have 5 or 6 players regularly in the top 30 in my view.

Jones

Clark

Watts

Grimes

Howe

Frawley

T Mac

Trenners

Blease

Sylvia

On average 5 of the top 10s above have been out of the team for a while (Jurrah, Clark) and /or currently (Watts Frawley, Jamar)...

Maybe a good sign for next year.

Apologies to Jamar and Jurrah who i rate 11 and 12

My best 10 are: ( in no set order}-

Jones, Clark, Watts, Blease, Frawley, TMac, Howe, Davey ( if he can get fit and regain form),Jamar, Jurrah.

 

Jones

Grimes

Clark

Frawley

Jamar

Watts

Trengove

Howe

Jurrah

Rivers

I wanted Blease in this list but he remains potential at this stage, even though the potential is quickly becoming reality.

I also wanted T McD, but he just misses out.

Some may question my placing of Rivers, but he remains in the top 2-3 effective footballers on our list and we would have been further stuffed over the past 3 years without him.

Clark

Frawley

Grimes

Howe

Jones

McKenzie

Rivers

Sylvia

Trengove

Watts

Note that there are only 2-3 midfielders on that list. If we want to improve, that number has to bump up to 4-5.

Clark - Would have kicked 60+ in a bottom 3 side if he played the whole year

Frawley - Easily our best defender. AA and gun

Jones - Proven me wrong, continues to improve will be a 300 game player

Sylvia - Has it all, judged way to harshly

Watts - Showing great signs. Will be a star

Trengove - Been down this year yet still in top 3 disposals for club

Grimes - Showing good signs that he can play a whole year

McDonald - Second year player holding down CHB. Solid!

Jurrah - Proven goal kicker, perfect foil for Clark

Howe - Elite runner, elite mark, not the best kick but a real asset when plays to strengths

As with Dr. Mubutu - Definitely need more mids in these lists!

Edited by robbo24

If you mean those on our list though not necessarily available this week, and in no specific order:

FRAWLEY, GARLAND, T MCDONALD, GRIMES, JONES, BLEASE, TRENGOVE, WATTS, CLARK, HOWE. Probably Jurrah over Garland if fit and not distracted or held up elsewhere for some reason.

Only 3.5 mids there, which I guess highlights our biggest problem area.

A lot of love for LJ on these lists. Unfortunately, I get the (unsubstantiated) feeling he may not be on our list next year.

Really rate him when he's on song, but that has only occurred a handful of times, and not in quite some time.

Is he in Neeld's plans for 2013?

Clark

Frawley

Grimes

Howe

Jones

McKenzie

Rivers

Sylvia

Trengove

Watts

Ah, I could have fallen for this trap, but I count 5-6 players on that list that should be part of our midfield going forward...

I like this one. I think Howe will continue to rise and probably get top 5 b&f this year. But I agree with this 11, especially Daylight.

Yeah the Daylight brothers, they're handy.

Always up and about early in the morning like clockwork, pretty bloody focussed during early afternoon games, but they fade-out during twilight games (not even going to mention where they are during Night games).

Still the will burn you given half a chance...

Late Edit: Apologies to Tom McDonald. I would expect him to move into the Top 10 next year. Put him 11th.

The question was out top 10 best players as at august 2012.

So I went with current playing players mainly and not those that may be passed their best.

1. Clark

2. Grimes

3. Jones

4. Howe

5. Blease

6. Tom MacDonald

Playing or not, potential as well as output I rank them:

8. Trengove

9. McKenzie

10. Jamar

McKenzie Jurrah

Edit: Forgot Jurrah.

I can't believe the lack of love for Rivers. Hardly anyone is getting him credit, except NSC who generously gave Riv two positions in the top ten!

Jamar just missed out. Important but doesn't do enough around the ground.

T.Mac also an honorable mention.

 

I went straight to comment on my top 10 for the yr, so quite a different slant to the topic but I want to still mention ; (hope no one minds)

Jones

Clark

Grimes

Howe

McDonald

Rivers (what a great comeback in a miserable season)

Blease (what a revelation to opposition)

Trengove (coming home well)

Jamar

Garland (up & down like a hookers panty)

Frawley (injury plagued)

10. Struggling to come up with No. 10 ( the Truscott night may be the best judge)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
