Well done Joeboy.  I may not agree with the number ratings for all but I think you have given a very sound 3 word assessment of the list.

Melksham was my surprise packet this year - 7

not bad JB

although harsh on T mac IMO, aside from his last couple of weeks he was very good all year.  especially out of position up front

it is hard to think past Saturday though.  WTF was he doing!?

Would give Jetta a 9 and probably a 6.5 to Trac but pretty good on rest.  

Pretty good.

Too generous for Oscar. Had one standout game for the season. Rest were good to shizen. Wasnt even close to Jetta or Hibbo.

I love Petracca but I keep getting this in my head.

Glad you said it first Gorgoroth. Because I have been thinking similar.

However he is still a kid so let's give him another couple of years.

He has had games where he has been very good.

There a number of others that have never shown much above VFL standard that have cost us dearly.

I agree with OMac. His year was 6.5 at best.

But great overall analysis JB.

Good effort Joe. I'd have a couple of tweaks but can't really argue.

Good work on your weekly assessments also. I don't always agree but you are prepared to put it out there.

Well done.

Pretty much spot on mate. Garland didn't make the list given he didn't play, I wonder if he will go on and play the final year of his contract. Seems like the forgotten man.

I think the problem is that his best is so good and so explosive that the "ordinary" stuff doesn't really register.

With another full preseason he should take the next step next year.

I hope no, but all we see are glimpses at the moment, I'm not saying he will become Sylvia but I keep getting this nagging feeling and I thought Sylvia would come good too.

Next year should give an indication.

Only one good pre season away jr?

Harsh on Jetta. Will feature in the Bluey. 8.5+

Fair summary.

Well done Joeboy, looked forward to the analysis every week.
