The best defenders in the AFL?

[perfectionist]

I'd be interested in people's thoughts.

Harry Taylor and Cory Enright from Geelong?

Grant Burchall and Josh Gibson from Hawthorn?

Dustin Fletcher from Essendon?

Perhaps players from GC or GWS?

Who's the best Saint?

Four years ago, both Ben Reid and Nathan Brown from Collingwood would have been on the list. Alas, it appears they both played their best footy around the end of 2010.

[FQF]

Ted Richards, Darren Glass

[busso mick]

McVeigh (SYD) and Johnson (FRE) also made the AA list last year

max hu...oh

err
glass reads the play well
i like enright
gibson for third man up
lake for reading play and body work
birchell for the backline run

[Beekay]

Josh Gibson is such a stud.

My favourite non-Saints player at the moment.

He's been ridiculous so far this season.

Hawks Traded pick 25 and 41 for him. He's absolutely elite.

If you lined them all up I'd take Michael Hurley..

Our best defender is Sam Gilbert shame his injured, back end of last yr and the start of this yr defensively he has been outstanding

[Saints94]

Harry Taylor & Darren Glass IMO

With Gibson not to far behind..

Defenders

Or players who play in the back half?

A defender in my eyes stops an opponent.... A back half player like Birchall doesn't really defend

Good defenders
Rutten, Reid, McPharlin, Lonergan, Gibson, S.Thompson, A.Carlisle, Dempster, Glass, McKenzie, Morris, Richards, Frawley

Good backline players
S.Fisher, H.Taylor, Enright, Birchall, Shaw, Hurn, Waters, Fletcher

[Jacks Back]

Other teams - Dawson
Saints - Delaney

[ROLS-LEE]

s Thompson

[magnifisaint]

Would like an injury free McPharlin and Johnson from Freo
