1) T.Cloke
2) L.Jetta
3) S.Reid
4) P.Ryder

The death penalty can never be excused as it allows a state a means by which it can pick and choose who is fit to live and who isnt

Harry O (Or what ever the idiots name is now)
L.Thomas
S.Thompson (Never stands the oppositions best forward)
Dangerfield (Can win his own ball but simply can't kick)
Neade (Simply to small)
Chaplin (Spud of the highest order)
Grimes (Check out how many goals he has kicked on him)
Tom Scully (Money)
Nick Malceski
Shane Edwards
Nic Nat (Should deliver soooooo much more)
Damien Hardwick

No doubt this will bite me in the ass this week and Thomas will probably kick 6 and Thompson get best on.

Dangerfield overrated? Please put your bias aside. You offer up Neade and cast aspersions on others?

Over-rated? No one's predicting us to do well this year, mate.
Kangas are the one's looking over-rated at the moment.

Who on this earth ever rated Chaplin?
Malceski is rated exactly where he should be...hard running rebounding defender.
Dangerfield on this list is a joke surely

Jetta and Reid overrated?

Both of them are premiership players and both players have been cursed with injuries in recent seasons.

Are the critical thinkers on this thread coming to their highly educated conclusions on the back of the first two rounds of this year or the past couple of seasons?

Love the profile signature, mate.

That line will line up as one of Bruce's best lines along with his call of Cathy Freeman's win in the 400m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
