In Your Opinion-- best 5 in player list

Post: # 1103775Post saintbrat »

everyone has differing opinions on many things and I just got to wondering how many variations on best 5 people have.

remembering that is it IYO and there is no CORRECT list

Best 5 In current ST KILDA player list for
Kicks

Goal kicking

Handballing( hitting the target player)

Tackles

Evasion..- the Dummy..

Marking (added late)

Is hayes counted.....i was assuming current team and len was injured

If so,

Lenny is clearly best tackler....and probably best evasive, or at least a tie..

Forgot about siposs....

But probably still take BJ under pressure.....then again....

Cjanged my mind...siposs at goal

but in relation to the specific skills..? which player for which skill?

I always think later how I better should have posed the questions.

what about Top 5 in each skill?

Ben would be just a head of Nick for this year but generally Nick may be top

The fact he's taken more contested marks in the afl on average per game since 2008....is that difficult to believe....

I think you are confusing contested marking with one out marking....

Coisin jack is good, but does not make as many contests as big nick....who takes more than anyone

:lol: I took this differently to everyone else and did top 5 for each category...

Kicks, I can't separate Gwilt and Goddard. Both deadly long accurate kicks on both sides. Maybe I'll give it to BJ cos he bags goals too.
Gwilt
Fisher
Dal Santo
Montagna
Goddard
(honorable mention to Peake)

Goal kicking. BJ from anywhere.
Goddard
Peake
Montagna
Dal Santo
Gamble

Handballing( hitting the target player). Hard to judge.
Gwilt
Fisher
Schneider
Dal Santo
Hayes

Tackles. Lenny.
Hayes
Jones
Gilbert
McEvoy
Armitage

Evasion..- the Dummy..There's a few good one's with the candy. For consistent success, Gram.
Gram
Gilbert
Hayes
Schneider
Dal Santo

I would have thought we would have been talking either this year or at the most last year. This year he isnt in the top 40 and is at least 40 contested marks behind Cloke. He is behind Ben as well. last year due to injury he was no where near it. Surprised he would be ahead of Cloke since 2008 but even if he is that was 3 and 4 years ago.

And i am pretty sure what is a contested mark but thanks for twlling me what isnt a contested mark. By the way got some stats to prove what you say?

Arent i allowed to have an opinion???

Do i have to run it by you first....to make sure i get it right, because you right.....yeah

Do you agree with everyone else....Because i didnt see you question others....anyone would think you stalking me......people might talk

I tell you what.....whatever ever it is with your little obsession with me is, and it is rather flattering....try and get over it, get a grip.....

Im not you mortal enemy, dont even know you, and dont want to.....because you sound like a bit of a tosser and a touch weird....

Ill wait with baited breath whilst we ruin another perfectly good thread, because I say something and you have to find anyway you can to discredit it, much to the annoyance of heaps of other people..

Btw....ill check the stats

Um not sure what game ppl watch but Goddard is a woeful handballer. And by woeful its obviously in direct comparison to his elite kicking.

Never has been and probably never will be an effective handballer. A minor weakness.
