Oliver @ 43 is an outright joke. If its based on 2023 performance only, fair enough but then how do you have Sicily @ 11 who missed almost as much footy as Oliver through injury. 

Just doesnt add up. #muppet.

I’m generally not one for knocking “top player lists”, they’re somewhat subjective, but mainly, I just don’t care. But, this list (Robbo‘s) is terrible.

Edited February 26 by Ethan Tremblay

[BDA 22,755]

Oliver at 43 is plain insanity.

Having Zak Butters at 2 was ridiculous. Very good player but no way number 2.

Hard to argue with the Readers top 10. I agree with Larkey at 7. Excellent player

[Demonstone 22,520]

It's a ragebait click generator and it works every year.

Robbo's opinion is irrelevant to me.

Ragebait is an excellent description.

As adults, I find it strange behaviour to go around telling other adults that you believe someone is better at something than someone else!

Isn't this what umpires do when they award votes?

not sticking up for the list exactly but i believe it is based on who is the top players for 2024. i.e who will be the best by end of season. so some guess work / predicting involved

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

@Demonstone above is correct with his comment about a ragebait generator.

We should all know by now just how witless Slo bbo  is.

BTW. Notice he couldn't resist a little shot at the MFC in his Max Gawn comments.

Let’s be honest… none of us will be happy with any of these lists unless the top 10 players are all Dees. 😅

Robbo makes Mike Sheahan seem like Einstein ! 
 

Robbo seems such an appropriate name. Conveys a suitable bogan image of a character with poor habits and not too many neurons. A la Sir Les Patterson. Apologies to all the Robbos out there! 

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Genuinely, supporting Port Adelaide might be the only thing worse than these lists. 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,754]

Which is better: Robbo or AI? 

After all, News Corp has stated that it uses AI to produce 3,000 stories a week. In fact, how do we know it didn't prepare this list?

You should probably apologise to the family of Barry Humphries, too, for equating Robbo with Sir Les.

True. Sir Les was entertaining and funny and of course a great Ambassador for the country. 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,177]

No May in the top 50. That was enough for me. The ESPN list is alot more balanced and logical.

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,845]

Robbo hasn't a clue. You mean the best tall back in the comp isn't in the top 50 players in the game?

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,845]

QD's top 10 players in the comp

1. Gus*
2. Max
3. Clayton
4. Trac
5. Maysie
6. Bont
7. Kosi
8. Vines
9. Tommy Petty
10. Sparrow

50-1 rest of the field.

* Ineligible due to the ineptitude, incompetence and shamefulness of management.

It's funny isn't it.

It's now completely accepted that teams are nor going anywhere near a flag without an elite defence.

Footy media bang on about all the time. And every year the brownlow gets, rightly in my view, for being a midfielder award

And then all the media awards go to mids. Coaches award too I guess, but al least defenders get votes.

And then a top 50 from the head footy writer at the hun doesn't include the best defender in the best defence in the AFL. 

And has Moore at 22 and weitering at 36. 

Curiously he has Tom Stewart at 19. A gun no doubt. Better than Moore, weitering and may? Big call.
