i was starting to respect him again recently but him saying Watson is brilliant crashing packs and getting the ball out and very creative by hand but isn't that good by foot means he is out of the top 50..... what a joke, he's always been very very harsh on Watson!
im guessing Watson doesn't care too much and Hirdy would have had a laugh with him about it
i guess no-one will care about this list come 3-4 days

Is that what he said?? He's a f****** pickle. He obviously doesn't watch closely enough these days and just has pre-conceived opinions of certain footballers. If he did watch closely, he would notice that Watson's kicking has improved dramatically over the last 3 years - and is no longer an issue.
Just some stats that are close to hand (at R21) - Jobe's kicking efficiency up to R20 was 66%. Some might think that is shoddy, but when you compare it to Simon Black 61%, Luke Power 64%, Daniel Rich 61% - it looks pretty good. If anyone has stats in regard to AFL kicking efficiency (individuals) - please post!
And for the record, Watson kicked 10 goals, 1 behind. Not bad for a shitkicker eh Mike!?

Ignore him - he is only trying to manufacture some controversy to seem relevant.
s'd
This.
I've heard Sheahan, laughingly and embarrassingly say on numerous occasions this year that Jobe was 51 - an open admission that he should be in the 50.
He said to Hirdy 'On the Couch' when Jobe was B.O.G. in one of the later rounds this year that he (Sheahan) f**ked up and that Jobe is in the best 50 going around.
Who was the obvious Collingwood player he left out this year? - there's usually one of them too.
My material isn't very good..Oh...and then there's the bladder problem.
There is almost a feeding frenzy at Trade week coz some guy called Vezpremi may be moving clubs. David Hale gets his own back page headlines as North dangle this juicy tidbit over trade week proceedings.
Can you imagine the riotous clamouring for position if Jobe Watson went anywhere near trade week - it would be like how the Jews created the Grand Canyon after some wag dropped a $5 bill down a rabbit hole.
He is the type of player every club covets. A consistent and highly effective extractor of the ball from in tight. They are, in modern football, the rarest and most valuable of Gems. Watson and perhaps only half a dozen other players in the league can be considered supreme in this area, the most demanding and arguably most important role in a football team.
The fact that Sheahan does not understand this is what makes his list entirely and utterly irrelevant. Furthermore, what gives this nong the right to claim knowledge of the best players in the league over other equally well versed pundits
Its a pointless exercise made doubly ridiculous by the creator of the list

Ummm....please explain?
Which bit, Jobe being up for trade or the outrageously racist reference to Jews?
Now i think everyone would admit that Bartel is ALOT better then most in the list. Better than James Kelly who made the list. Dale Thomas at #9 is hilarious. Ball making the top 50 is downright nutty. I could go on and on but its tiring. Watson should have made the top 50. ...Chris Newman lol.

I was referring to the latter part stereotyping Jews actually....
It would appear that I have caused some offense with my remark about Jews creating the Grand Canyon. This is clearly not true. Yes, they did part the Red Sea but canyon creation is definitley not on their CV's.
I would formally like to apologise to anyone who may have taken offense at my childish sterotyping of Jews as greedy money chasers. Having worked for the two wealthiest Jews in Australia and about to start working for the wealthiest Jew in Las Vegas, I can assure you that my flippant remarks are baseless and entirely innappropriate.
From hencefortth, please let it be know that it was in fact the Scots who chased the $5 bill down the rabbit hole.
Carries this side by himself and Sheahan has blokes like:
