Not by fluke just had two good years between ordinary years in a team where a flashy player stands out.

I can sort of see where you are coming from but you cant say someone who won 2 browlows won them by fluke.

I know i might be starting an argument here but if you say goodes won them by fluke then you can probably say harves won them by fluke as well.

97. he didnt poll the most votes but coming from a saints supporters view and ive seen his 97 games 1000 times i think he should have definately won it easily.

But then again he has polled the most brownlow votes of a current day player.

Is that Hughie Mitchell or Keith Michell?

Bartel, Chapman and Scarlett are top three for mine. Two of them didn't play against us in the NAB cup; may it be so in Round 4.

All of these players used to be so underrated you could get them for a steal in dreamteam, but now since geelong are such a great team they have all risen consiberably and should be in an afl top 20 without even having to check.

Ithink its more than that i think for chapman you have to look back to 2004. Lenny_hayes7, you must have your eyes closed (or one at least :wink: :lol: )

Im not saying he isn't a good player but there is no way he is in the top 3 of the AFL.

Because a players worth can be based entirely on one game, a game that his team won in a canter. :roll:

More than one game I think. He is the one player at Geelong I fear most. Every time he gets the ball it seems to end in a goal whether it's him kicking it or a team mate. I'm not one to wish opposition players ill, but a slight hammy this week would be nice.

No takers for Judd being one of the top 10?

Fully fit, he's still easily the best player in the AFL for mine.

I think many of us having seen the carlton game think that at the moent he would be struggling to be in the top 10.

he was slow and indirect against us. BUt like aka said it takes time for those sorts of injurys we should know with bally and all.

IMO the top 10 could be made of geelong players alone at this point in time.

If you were having a position thing then geelong players shade every other compitetor for there position.

Yes, frightening isn't it?

Oh well, they have to play someone in the GF. Might as well be us.
