I've got a terrible record at this, but...

1 Cotchin
2 Deledio
3 Riewoldt
4 Martin
5 Houli
6 Rance
7 Vickery
8 Nahas
9 Newman
10 King

I'd be stunned if reiwoldt came third. Reckon the top two are a lock, the rest tougher. Couldn't do top 10 but I'll have a crack at top 5.

1 Cotchin
2 Deledio
3 Martin
4 Rance
5 Nahas

Based on our voting system

1.RANCE :eek:
2. Cotchin
3 Deledio
4 Martin
5 Houli
6 Newman
7 Nahas
8 Grigg
9 Riewoldt
10 King

I agree with you on the winner. I reckon based on the voting system used Rance will get it.
 
Top 10 would be a crapshoot, wont go there............

Top 5 is about all that has any meaning anyway.

1. Chimp
2. Delidio (not sure he deserves this high though)
3. Nahas
4. Rance
5. Vickery

Think Martin will be thereabouts also, but Chimp by far has been the most consistent and "Best" player in this team over 22 games IMO.

Unfortunately, many B&F awards turn into a popularity contest rather than what the name curtails..............everyone has their favorites and tends to be bias in some regard.
 
1. Cotchin
2. Lids
3. Rance
4. Nahas
5. Houli
6. Martin
7. Jack
8. TV
9. Newman
10. King
 
1 Cotchin
2 Deledio
3 Rance
4 Martin
5 Nahas
6 Houli
7 Reiwoldt
8 Foley
9 Vickery
10 Grigg

King/Newman should be thereabouts for the top ten
 
1. Lids - just a tad more consistent then the chimp
2. Cotchin - overtake lids next year with another preseason
3. Rance- very consistent and still room to improve
4. Martin- his worst isn't good, but his best is put best
5. Houli - contributes most matches

This is tongue in cheek stuff, but I'm going to play devil's advocate here. The ten you mention above are obviously from some other list you thought you were nominating. Perhaps the "Top 10 RFC footballers to be mentioned in negative posts on PRE".

1. McGuane - Given the injuries to Astbury, Grimes, Newman, Moore and the development required of Post, Dea. He was the second tall behind Rance picked every week. We literally had no one else besides those two and thursfield to pick from. Out of interest - if you were keeping one of Thursfield and McGuane who would it be and why?
2. Miller - Took a good defender away from Jack and the developing Tyrone. Allowed Jack to play CHF not FF. Kicked 20 odd goals and is definitely worth another year. I reckon, given we got him for nothing, he has been a bargain. Disagree?
3. Jackson - Our best holding player. Who else would you play on Judd, Ablett, Pendelbury, Hayes, Thompson. Have a look at what Harvey did to Houli and then White on the weekend. Jackson would have been a better option than White in the middle on Harvey. Happy for him to be traded, but reckon there's a few others ahead of him in the dud delist queue.
4. Edwards - Doesn't get injured. Is quick, runs hard without the ball (novelty at Richmond), good hands, breaks lines. Butchers it a bit, but OK when kicking into forward 50 when its mostly to a contest anyway. I'd have him around next year.
5. Graham - Can't ruck, too slow to react to the play, not a super kick. Why Browne wasn't playing, I don't know - I agree with your sentiment here, but if we don't get a ready made ruckman we will need him next year. Sorry - just the facts.
6. Tuck - See Jackson/Edwards. I reckon Hardwick had wiped his hands of Tuck earlier on, and only brought him back in to "shop" him as trade bait, but then Tuck goes and plays some really good footy for an extended stretch of time and now Hardwick has to give him another year. Does have trade bait potential for a club without an in and under mid, but if Foley goes down we don't have one less too.
7. White - Hard to make the case for him. His pace was glaringly exposed against Harvey on Sunday. Think he goes now - agree with you.
8. Morton - Family troubles, patchy form. He's still young, he has the skills, he's a smart footballer. He's a keeper - disagree!!!
9. Post - Obviously you were joking taking the p1ss out of Post - young KPP who's developing by the game. Let's refer back to this thread halfway through season 2013 and I'll listen to the sounds of silence while you eat your words.
10. Hislop - Shouldn't have played this year let alone next. Of no use to RFC in any position - agree.

So I reckon your humorous scorn was on the money with Graham, White and Hislop. Other seven either stay on merit, get traded on merit or stay because we don't have anything better right now.

Nah, White and Hislop should be swapped. Cpt is just too scared of Disco08 to make the change.
 
Thought it would be worth giving this a look over to see how close we get or in my case how far away we are with tonight's count.

nice post. I'd keep Thursfield over Mcguane.
