Maybe because Harley has lead a team to a premiership?

Dont get me wrong I am a big Gibbsy fan, but reckon he would still need a to get a few runs on the board.

Spot on.. Is going to be a ripper but still has points to prove before he gets mentioned in the same conversation as some of these blokes.

Big call that- I'll hold you to that Dutchy... :D Sorry mate but Ryan Griffen >> Thomas...

1 good season somehow gets you into the best 25 current SA players?

Have to agree with Pup too- no Tyson Edwards? Someone else also mentioned Micky O...surely a spot for him?

And the inclusion of Vince and McMahon are similarly laughable.

But Jesper has us talking which is what most columns are designed to do!
How can Edwards not make this list? Can anyone honestly say that Bernie Vince is a better player than Tyson Edwards?

The list is just rubbish, and shouldn't be taken seriously given the credibility of its author.

Alan Didak doesnt belong at 2. Not sure Dew, Thomas belong above Lade or Rutten. And i would have Shaun Burgoyne above Kano too.

Tyson Edwards not being on that list is an absolute joke!! 289 AFL games surely has some credibility!!! Running PB's in the 3km time trial in his 14th year!! GUN!! Top 10!!

I think its fair to say that Tyson Edwards will go down as one of the most under rated players in AFL history!!!

no doubt about that!!
he came 4th in the crows B n F last year, he wouldn have to many non top 10 finishes i wouldnt think. An outrage he is not in there, and even not in the top 10 IMO.
Edwards without doubt has been for the last 10 yrs and still is the most under rated player in the AFL

That's what I think. It's insulting to everyone else on the list, even Pavlich, with this clown suggesting the Didak is next best. If anything, there's daylight after Pavlich.
