Big Call.
Who are our top 10 anyway?
Riewoldt
Hayes
Gehrig
Dal Santo
Koschitzke
Goddard
Baker
Milne
Montagna
Harvey
Who would he displace? Milne? Harvey?
Sam Fisher is a definite Top 10.
A fit Max would be too.
Gram could well be....
As an aside.....I am hoping that with a fitter list and our new recruits that in 2008 that we will not have a top 10 per se as the team outside the top stars will be very competitive and even...
For example....Schneider, Fiora, King, X and Gilbert could all be part of even group of players playing quite different roles, all valuable contributors hopefully notching up some Top3 votes some weeks with some dazzling games and being just good contributors most weeks. Who is top 10?
Having a more even team will make it harder for the opposition to close us down.
In recent years opposition teams have concentrated on say shutting down Dal and Milne and limiting GTrain (often conceding that Roo will get the ball but having gaps way up the field to draw him away from the danfer zone).
Schneider will make Milne harding to stop......as will X.
Having all of X (particularly if he can kick straight at goals), Milne and Schneider as a forward mosquito fleet will cause opposition coaches and players many headaches. Which of the 3 will be more valuable?
Finding another "third" forward marking option to replace Hamill will increase the value of Roo and Gtrain. The trick is not be too cumbersome up forward. Will C Gardiner emerge???..or maybe Gilbert???
King or M Gardiner drifting down at times could add potency.....and have the Gtrain causing some more headaches.
