Definitely has the most raw talent of anyone on the list. Roo is still the best because of his athleticism, but BJ has definitely established himself as second best (with Chips a clear third)

Its a big call Sam, but I for one will not disagree with you.

Like most on here, when BJ picks up the footy I know he will do something good with it. His ball use and decision making are top class.

if rooey was not with us i would want the bj as captain
i think it is crystal clear that BJ is our 2nd best player and should be the next captain of the club.

I agree, but if it come down to BJ or Roo kicking at goal to win the GF then I'd go for BJ every time!!!!

Why because he is our second best player. When does that make him a good captain. He may or not make a good captain but please dont pick captains because they are your best players. Pick the best captain.

oh ffs. of course you dont. for instance i would not have plugger as skipper - even though he was probably the best saint ever. and i also rank didak as the best player at the pies - and of course would not make him skipper. so stop making me defend myself.

there are several reasons i would have BJ as skipper. I said he was our 2nd best player AND should be the next skipper (i did not link the two or say "therefore". they were 2 separate points.

Goddard is officially our second best player.

We now officially have 2 good football players in the team.

The rest are average.

I get where your coming from, we don't have to purely limit his credentials to being a good footballer....because there are many more

Hopefully BJ will go through the season injury free, he will no doubt get an oppostion player to run with him this season, but he's quality alright!

They may have been average on Sat night - but since we made the PF in 08 and the others are average the conclusion is that both of these two must be totally superior to anyone who has ever played the game ...... :lol: :lol:


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

I just want to remain on record as i have been the past 4 years. A MASSIVE BJ fan. I took the piss out of him early in his career for his loving of pointing his finger in the air (it was a funny habit)

But let the record show - i reckon he is awesome. genuine all round excellent afl player. current id rank him #2 on our list. But i certainly see a time when he will be our # 1 player.

tough, skilled, athletic, smart, fit. i see him almost cross between a pav and a nathan buckley type (clearly BJ would need to score more goals to be likened to pav).

but i see him in the midfield with the ability to be thrown forward as a pinch hitter. darn good player BJ.

No wonder Roo is excited...

Who would you rather have streaming towards you with ball in hand as you make a lead ??

A. BJ
B. Lenny
C. Luke B
D. Grammy

Must be looking forward to a few at last hitting him lace-out like a tracer bullet :-)
