Perosnally i would have him behind the likes of daniel merrit who is hugely underrated, brian harris when fit, ben reid at collingwood and even harry taylor from his own team. He would be on a par with Rutten, Fletcher, Glass, McPharlin and Frawley from melbourne. Thats a long way from being the certain pick for full back in any all australian team. He struggles in one on one contests imo becuase he is usually third man up or picking off the dodgy kicks of the opposition mids. We all see things differently and i am just giving my opinion


Daniel Merrett the only one of those that could be considered ahead of Scarlo on current form. By the end of the year he'll get his spot back in the AA team. Third man up not able to win one on one contests. Seriously you have no fecking idea. Adelaide supporter LOL. Says it all.

That's cos he's a gun. All your mate Rutten has is that big fat arse. There isn't a forward in the AFL that has the lung capacity to run one full circumfrence of it's wide expanses without the benefit of an oxygen bottle.

...and Judd still can't hit the side of the barn as was shown in that brilliant shot at goal from 11.35 metres out dead in front against the Crows. Probably got another three brownlow votes to go with his latest brown paper bag.

Yep, some would consider him a flat track bully who goes missing in finals (was better last year though, with 9 goals in 4 outings) but....442 goals at better than 2 a game from a small forward. Pretty handy career really.

Needs to work on his goal-kicking, but is the best contested mark in the AFL.

A big one cos they either aren't rated in the first place or not underrated in the case of Hodge, Cloke and Boak.

With the exception of Jones who is just an honest toiler who has a crack they'd all walk into that Lions side. The butthurt over Sherman is obvious as well. No one rated him at Brisbane and not many would rate him at the Bullies even though he appears to be going well there so far.
