    STK, a pretty good list although I don't think NRoo is deserving of a spot. Hasn't been the same since the hammy injury.

    I also would like to know if this is a predictive top 20 or based upon last season or historically over their career. If predictive for 2012 then it looks good but based upon last season there would be a bit of a reshuffle. Goddard down a fair bit, Sandi out, Mitchell and Murphy up, Hodge not in etc although 15-20 is always very subjective. Fyfe would have to be there about, so too Boyd.

    Based on last year, only nds from the saints deserves a guernsey, going forward I am struggling to see nick in the top 50. He's looked like basketballer lost on a football field all preseason, hopefully it's curable..

    Good idea Shaun, mine is below.

    1 Scott Pendlebury
    2 Gary Jnr Ablett
    3 Dean Cox
    4 Marc Murphy
    5 Matthew Boyd
    6 Chris Judd
    7 Scott Thompson
    8 Dane Swan
    9 Nick Dal Santo
    9 Lance Franklin
    10 Tom Rockliff
    11 Andrew Swallow
    12 Sam Mitchell
    13 Matthew Pavlich
    14 Heath Scotland
    15 Jobe Watson
    16 Adam Goodes
    17 Shane Mumford
    18 Joel Selwood
    19 Brendon Goddard
    20 Matthew Priddis

    My criteria was not SC driven, but influence on the game.

    Lenh191, no way Boyd's disposal efficiency should allow him into Top 5.

    Sheahan's a flog with his top 50 being way off the mark most years.
    That said Swan needs to be top 5 for me to even consider it.

    Lenh with no Cloke in your top 20 you have no idea, just about the most influential Collingwood player, and sheer willpower from him and Swan broke the Hawks in Prelim 2011. A half of great footy almost bridged the gap between Geelong and the Pies.

    Who would I draft if it were just this year to pick with regards to?
    That's what the Top 50 criteria needs to be.

    And if that were the case of Lenh top 20, I'd pick these behind Cloke:
    Boyd, Thompson, NDS, Rockliff, Swallow, Mitchell, Pavlich, Scotland, Watson, Goodes, Mumford, Goddard and Priddis.

    Just updated OP with entire top 50.... Now that will cause discussion, as i really just thought of names and wrote them down!! haha

    @ Lucas

    I was going to put Cloke higher and thinking bout it now i'd probably swap him & Goodes around. But uncertinity around Pies year (injuries etc, no coach) made him slip down a little

    Fwds can't influence the game if they don't get the ball, Buddy is the only purely KPP fwd I chose, because he goes after his own ball, 2 years ago Goddard nearly won us a GF with a broken nose and shoulder, but 1 game isn't it, I was thinking influence on the season... If Pendlebury and Swan don't dominate the middle Cloke may as well be a 5th goal post.

    For the Dogs Boyd is a massive influence, Goodes not a bigger influence than Cloke, for real??.

    Watson, the dude is Essendon, Pav same for Freo.

    Who would you draft can't be it, in that case you have to choose 18 position players and then reserves.

    As I said I only picked for influence on the game, I am comfortable with the influence those 20 guys would have on any game they played in individually, ie I was not picking a team......

    Pick yours :)

    Yep, might be my Saints bias but how does a bloke who came 2nd, or technically 3rd, come in at 37? In his prime as a footballer.... Id love to know how many people would actually put him that low, id have thought most would have him in top 20 easily.

    EASILY top 20! Boyd also should be a lot higher! The odd clanger aside, didn't he lead the league in clearences?..

    I wonder how much of this rubbish Mike actually believes and how much he puts in just to get a rise out of people?..

    Actually now it is. Good that like Robbo's tackle, we have another unwanted semi-news article hidden from view for the betterment of all.
