are people serious leaving out Jones or Moloney? Both automatic selections

I'll have what you're having but squeeze out Bail (though I rate him) for Ozzie. Jurrahmirri is just too good to watch.

I've got to say that although I'm aware I come across as some old fuddy-duddy (i'm not) it kind of annoys me how everyone is just so lazy with the way they write things online. Everything you are taught at school is just chucked out the window. Seriously, 'he's dad' that's a fair howler. Note also he was having a go at him by implying he has NFI about Morton and is biased. Obviously not a big deal but I am not opposed to the odd comment to keep some integrity of the English language alive in cyberspace

hmm IMO if you are out player bashing and you make a spelling error as bad as that you are fair game... PS Keyser Soze is a fictional character from the movie The Usual Suspects

he ran to create an option and marked the ball ironically he would have been spared the judgement of cretins if he had continued standing around like an oaf playing push and shove and ignoring the actual football

Just saying that words, particularly those posted on the club website, are worth nothing

McLean trotted out the same [censored] and it meant nothing

Was undeniably in the top 5-6 players of the last decade, Morton has a huge amount to do to go anywhere near that contribution

does something brilliant one minute then something incredibly awful the next. We've seen him take some fine contested grabs at either end of the ground, I would love to see him spend a few weeks as a genuine forward target at some stage this year

pft we are not talking about whether or not you can feed your family. We are talking about whether you need the extra Lamborghini and the house with 7 bathrooms. It's pure and simple GREED and that's all it comes down to. Chris Judd would still have made an arseload of money playing for us as would Gary Ablett at Geelong. Both sold out in the most unbelievable betrayal because of pure GREED. This has paved the way for everyone else to go ahead and do so and our players will be no different when GWS opens the cheque book and the Eagles throw in a multi-million dollar property on top of their salary. This is why we will continue to be a minnow club in the end. The mentality of the 'if another employer offered me 20k more' camp, thinking that is any way even the slightest bit comparable to AFL players actually makes me doubt humanity. Merry Christmas.

You can't name Davey (3 top10s vs Bruce's 10) but obviously AD has several good years left. White... surely not.. prime ruckman of the comp for a little bit... In any case you have now agreed Bruce is the 6th best player of the decade, a bloke you called "a pathetic excuse for a footballer"

The question was directly above your post Nobody is putting Bruce before the club. My personal opinion is that the club stuffed up and we would have been better off having him around for another couple, but I don't know the facts so I back the club as they have done almost every other thing right since Bails/Connolly/Schwab/Stynes came in. What I am arguing now is the ridiculous revisionism that goes on when people talk about Bruce's career. Even his biggest detractor can only name 5 players better than him in the last decade ffs

Yes I had forgotten about that, from memory he had a real purple patch where he got a stoppage clearance 4 out of 5 ballups or something and kicked a lovely goal. Completely owned them.

think it was a golden duck post

why don't you have a crack at answering the question i just asked E25 - it was a response to his earlier post that said exactly what you have just repeated

maybe we did have a shyzen list, it was still average though, 5 finals appearances out of 10.. nevertheless do you agree that nobody, apart from Neitz, Macca and Green, has contributed more to the club in the last 10 years? If you don't agree name the other players

so what? we are discussing how ridiculously underrated his career has been how many blokes in the whole league, ever, would have finished top10 ten years running?

pft how long did you sit there going 'gee how I can argue with that' before rolling out that little gem "exactly that age bracket when his form was at it's peak" what are you on about 2001 was his second year none of the older ones (Neitz, White, Yze) got close to ten if you include years prior to 2001 anyway as for the newer blokes: #1 Johnstone, in there 3 times inc. a 10th Sylvia (pick #3) has been here 7 years and only featured the in last 2, McLean was 3 out of 6 Davey (and Green) is the only one of the current mob with anything like the consistency rubbish, rubbish comment

well, for the research-challenged: 2001 Yze,Neitz,Schwarz,Febey, Ward,White,Robertson,Leoncelli,Bruce,Walsh 2002 Neitz,Bruce,Johnstone,Brown,White,Yze,Bizzell, Vardy,McDonald,Powell 2003 Robertson, McDonald, Neitz, Bizell, Godfrey, Bruce, Green, Whelan, Brown, Yze 2004 White, Brown, Yze, Bruce, Neitz, Whelan, Green, McDonald, Rivers, Nicholson 2005 Johnstone, Robertson, Davey, Moloney, Green, White, Bruce, Wheatley, Brown, Yze 2006 McDonald, Bruce, McLean, Neitz, Green, Carroll, Whelan, Rivers, White, Johnstone 2007 McDonald, Jones, Bate, Green, Davey, Bruce, White, McLean, Brown, Robertson 2008 Bruce, McLean, Green, Warnock, McDonald, Miller, Morton, Bartram, Wheatley, Wonaeamirri 2009 Davey, Moloney, Bruce, Bate, Jones, Sylvia, Warnock, Frawley, McDonald, Morton 2010 Green, Frawley, Jamar, Davey, Sylvia, Bruce, Moloney, Scully, Garland/McDonald, McKenzie BRUCE 10 McDonald 8 Green 7 White 6 Yze 5 Neitz 5 Robbo 4 Brown 4 Davey 4 so is anyone else going to challenge?

loved it Stynesy dancing with bags of cash the highlight

he was drafted at pick64 and would be amongst the biggest contributors of the last 100 or so players along with Neitz, McDonald and Green. Top10 for ten consecutive years. Underperforming? Wow I predict he will play more than a couple of good games for Hawthorn

you're having a laugh surely, 45K for about 2 hours 'work' per day, if you call running around kicking a footy 'work'..

yes but as far as i'm aware none of the above posters have had a CONVO as a highly-paid senior player of the MFC who may have some weak points in his game

whatever convo anyone has had with him has zero to do with any convo C.Bruce may have had with him

He loves it so much he stayed away from alcohol in order to play as good as he could, to me that is pretty epic and quite rare in your average Aussie teenage bloke. Think about when he is in his prime, say 25-27, he will be the bloke at the club that just sets the bar really high for everyone to jump over, and on gameday he will throttle sides especially as the game goes on everyone else tires. Really excited about this kid. that's because he's trolling for the captaincy!
