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

[jurrahcane 70]

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).

[The Chazz 4,077]

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.

[PaulRB 6,432]

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

[jayceebee31 768]

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.

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

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.

[Dr. Mubutu 867]

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.

[robbo24 66]

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!

[monoccular 17,656]

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.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

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?

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...

10. Blease

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.

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!
