I picked up the Geelong Advertiser yesterday after a big day surfing on the coast and I had a bit of a giggle at Andrew Bews best 25 players in the AFL. No offence to our only nominee in the group (Robbo at 21 and ahead of Riewoldt) but I think he's way off beam with that selection. (Sorry but I couldn't find an internet link)

1. Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle)

2. Adam Goodes (Sydney)

3. Chris Judd (WCE)

4. Ben Cousins (WCE)

5. Ryan O’Keefe (Sydney)

6. Simon Goodwin (Adelaide)

7. Dean Cox (WCE)

8. Jonathan Brown (Brisbane)

9. Daniel Kerr (WCE)

10. Steven Baker (St. Kilda)

11. Nathan Brown (Rich)

12. Jason Akermanis (WBulldogs)

13. Nathan Buckley (Collingwood)

14. Matthew Lloyd (Essendon)

15. Matthew Scarlett (Geelong)

16. Luke Hodge (Hawthorn)

17. Brent Harvey (Kangas)

18. James Clement (Collingwood)

19. Craig Bolton (Sydney)

20. James Hird (Essendon)

21. Russell Robertson (Melb)

22. Paul Chapman (Geelong)

23. Warren Tredrea (Port Adelaide)

24. Nick Riewoldt (St. Kilda)

25. Lance Whitnall (Carlton)

FWIW Bews siad he regards St. Kilda, Kangaroos and Adelaide as being in trouble in the future.

    Is he serious with Baker at 10? Surely that's a misprint.

    That's one of the more absurd lists I've come across.

    Geelong people.... they blame it on the water.... what can you do?! :rolleyes:

    I can think of 100 players I'd have ahead of Baker. And Judd is clearly the #1 player in the AFL.

    lol, the addy is trash

    he said it was ranked on how hard the player is to beat or some absurd reason

    just be thankful there arent 14 geelong players in there, with tom hawkins firmly entrenched in the top 10!!!

    to give the addy its due, they worked VERY hard to catch the guy who raped the chick in the middle of g-town, but their football coverage (AFL anyway) is terrible, although its funny when geelong start loosing, the "txt the editor" column can get vicious :P

    Something in the water...... I thought they had run out of it down there!

    Perhaps they are drinking something else....................and doing there little bit for the country by recycling what little water they do have!!!!! I guess if you put [censored] in the fridge it will come out yellow, cold and a little bit frothy. Ha Ha :lol:

    Seriously, that list is a bigger joke than Dermott Brereton's hair.

    Go Dees

    I don't remember the internet being that old. A bump from 2006 would see you suspended for weeks nowadays in the AFL.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
