The Herald Sun released Mike Sheahan’s Top 50 players. This is his Preseason list where he try’s to predict who will have a great year. This list doesn’t have players under an injury cloud (probably the reason Trent Croad didn’t make the list). At a quick look at the list, it looks pretty good. Its hard to argue with Ablett at number 1, especially after his preseason form. Judd like wise and even after one preseason game, Buddy looks like carrying the injury riddled Hawks in the first month or so of the season. On a personal note, I am stoked that Mike recognised the ablilitys of Grant Birchall by putting him in at 49, Full list below:
- Gary Ablett
- Chris Judd
- Lance “Buddy” Franklin

Don’t know if I would of had Judd so high couple players have a claim to his spot.
otherwise its a very fair post.
Sad St Kilda aren’t as well represented as years past :’(
I think Judd will have a big big year this year and that is where the list is based. I actually found that they changed the Web version of the list to take out Dale Thomas and add in Cryil Rioli. Interesting change1
