Thought I would look at who the top ten is at the club in terms of getting their hands on the ball, obviously this is a stat that favours midfielders and HBFers but it does tell who is delivering most of the ball in a match and what the 'engine room' of the team is for each season (qualifier is min 5 games for the year).

2007 top 10

2008 Top 10
Rank | Player | Games Played | Disposals per Game |
1 Andrew Carrazzo 7 25.29

6 Ryan Houlihan 3 20.33
7 Kade Simpson 7 19
7 Bryce Gibbs 6 19
9 Bret Thornton 6 17.5
10 Adam Bentick 3 17

Gone from 2007, Kouta, Jackson, Blackwell and Walker.

New for 2008, Stevens, Judd, Gibbs, Thornton.

Expect Walker to break back into that Top 10 after he gets back. Lot more class in the class of 2008.

... and just for reference sake, our last premiership year.

That's a fair top 5 in our premiership year...

Yes, a sensational top 5 most at the peak of their game.

I reckon this will be our next premiership top 5 (in no particular order).

Judd
Stevens
Walker
Gibbs
Murphy

Nice that they are already on the list, just need a couple of them with some more experience.
