Cory is consistently the 17th best player in our team - He will usually get a game because Pagan wont make more than 5 changes.
His brother Ash goes alright. If they were to play for the one club Carlton would be the winner whether Ash comes to us or Cory leaves.
According to Collo we have A - Z rated players on our list. McGrath is a solid 'S'

DN, how would you rate the rest of the list which has played this year? If you do rate them, give us a "now" rating, and "potential" rating, I'd like to know who is playing close to their potential in your opinion.

Nah - too much thought - to compile lists and stuff - I prefer to make outlandish allegations and then abandon threads.

Sounds good to me.

Procrastination and laziness is always an easier option. :wink:

I disagree... although others have noticed im prone to liking hack players.

I think McGrath is hard and works hard. Sometimes when his let foot is on he is a very good kick.

Besides, this week he plays his 50th so we should be behind him... at least until Sunday

He has been one of the better ones for us this year. He won't be going anywhere soon.

McGrath is going to be a good long term player for us and I like him off the half back line.

He is a hack. Zero defensive skills, with all the body to body ability of Houlihan

Shirked a couple of issues and didin't commit his body to a few key contests against Brisbane. My jury has been deliberating for some time over Cory, but I'm now convinced he's not made of the Right Stuff. Not the future of this club, and not the type that will take us forward. Perhaps a reasonable squad player in a strong team, but we're in a position where we'd be better off casting him off to gamble on potential. Nothing better than plain ordinary, but he's not on his own there.

Goes in hard and has good foot skills. Better than Wiggins, Sporn, Davies or Bowyer will ever be.

Soooo...so far we all pretty much agree?

Cory is a very good below average player. He has no skills except when he shows the skill with his left foot. He constantly shirks the issue but he plays hard and works hard. He is a hack, but has been one of our better players this year, and will not be going anywhere except maybe the dole queue when we offload him.

Oh...yeah...and darknavy likes making unlandish allegations and then running away :P
