Mark Robinson's Top 50 players

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Full list can be found here:

Nathan Jones the only Demon on it and he comes in at #42.

He also named Buddy as the number 1 player in the comp, with GAJ #2, Selwood #3 and so on.

The ghost of Chris Judd also made the list which I thought was interesting, among other things.

I don't put much credence in what Robbo has to say but thought it was a good talking point.

Sam Mitchell is still criminally underrated, Tom Hawkins is grossly overrated and I wouldn't have Goddard in my top 100 players.

And we thought Mike's top 50 was a joke...

PUTTING GARRY ABLETT AT 2? yeh right...he's just trying to controversial.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Rockcliff is better than his rating.

[Moonshadow 16,613]

PUTTING GARRY ABLETT AT 2? yeh right...he's just trying to controversial.

Agreed. Robbo trying to be different by putting Buddy there. I'd put Fyfe above him. Hodge also underrated imo.

Interesting the ratings on Jones. He's under rated according to the polls from the general public. Nice little compliment

[Red and Bluebeard 2,050]

I am surprised that he didn't put Hird as #1 ...

[SaberFang 7,141]

Wonder how many slabs Robbo downed when he wrote up this list?

It's funny though - you will always have people unhappy with a list like this, but Robbo's screams of trying too hard to be controversial so he can generate discussion. It's almost a crime not to have Ablett as the #1 player in the competition, and that's only the beginning with this list.

[SaberFang 7,141]

And right on the eve of 360's new season. All an obvious marketing strategy to create controversy IMHO.

[Pipefitter 2,085]

Left out James Hird.

[rjay 24,193]

Everyone including the players know that Ablett is the no.1 player in the game...that is except for Robbo.

[Uncle Fester 2,843]

I'm not going to waste my time looking at that click bait. The guy is a disgrace, like Barrett and Hutchy, and should be run out of town asap.

who is Mark Robinson ?

You beat me to it BB! Who gives a FF what Slobbo has to say?

[Demon trucker 1,800]

It's funny how people get all worked up over top 50, like they say opinions are like a holes everyone got one, I just read them and move on, to me players come and go, I look to the red and the blue.

compared to Slobbo this bloke VVV is informed, intelligent and coherent:

[What 18,810]

"How can people say that Lance Franklin is overrated" - M.Robinson.

Well Robbo, you absolute MUG. When you put Lance Franklin ahead of the best midfielder in the modern era, and possibly the most decorated midfielder to play the game (or one of), then Franklin becomes MASSIVELY overrated. People weren't actually calling Franklin overrated as a player, they were saying YOU overrated him by putting him at 1 - which you did.
