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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
