Mate I don't particuarly like him either,but he is in sublime form.
I do like Locky but that don't mean he should be number 1.

The top 2 players in the comp are Marshall and Johns.

These are the only two players who single handedly turn their team from bottom 4 contenders to top 4 contenders.

The top 2 players in the comp are Marshall and Johns.

No player who is as bad in defence as Marshall should be in the top 2, probably the worst defender in the comp.

The only two? You could reverse it and say they are two of the most injury prone players so we get to see how much they affect their team more often. There are more players out there are just as crucial to their sides as Marshall and Johns, they just aren't as injury prone.

Do you actually watch games?? Marshall is no defensive guru but he is not the worst defender in the competition. In the GF Marshall was one of only a few players not to miss a tackle. Similarly his stats last year regarding miss tackles were very comparable to other 5/8's including Barrett, Lockyer and Anasta.

The guy actully has some decent technique. Did you see him pick Kidwell up and dump him, similarly when he dumped Justin Poore last season and Ryan Hoffman. Classic one on one tackles.

Personally i think he defends pretty well for a guy still physically developing and just off a couple of shoulder reco's. Guys like Prince and Lockyer are far worse defenders.

We certainly do get to see it a lot because they are injury prone. But I still believe it to be true.

If you replaced Marshall with anyone other than Johns at the Tigers, imo they would be an inferior side.

Looks to be a good list, though I suspect that the 98 next to Johns's name refers to the number of times his name is mentioned by Paul Harragan and Matthew Johns during the first 30 seconds of the footy show.

Lol.

Thanks for saying it looks like a good list.

The ratings are form and overall career mixed together really. Webke would have been way higher if I done this in 2004 btw. Not many people who I showed that to agree with Webke being so low.
