Mike Sheahan will be dusting off his typewriter and putting together his top 50 players for this season.
Sheahan’s top 50 was once one of the most eagerly anticipated lists each pre-season and he’s bringing it out of retirement exclusively for SEN Breakfast.
As a preview, former greats Garry Lyon and Tim Watson have (quickly) listed their top 10 players in the game for the upcoming season…
Garry Lyon’s Top 10…
- Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)
- Lance Franklin (Sydney)
- Dan Hannebery (Sydney)
- Nat Fyfe (Fremantle)
- Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
- Joel Selwood (Geelong)
- Luke Parker (Sydney)
- Rory Sloane (Adelaide)
- Alex Rance (Richmond)
- Cyril Rioli (Hawthorn)
Tim Watson’s Top 10…
- Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)
- Lance Franklin (Sydney)
- Josh Kennedy (Sydney)
- Nat Fyfe (Fremantle)
- Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)

Please note: Garry and Tim reserve the right to change their rushed lists at any time! Tim sends his apologies already to Alex Rance, while Garry sends his to Scott Pendlebury. It appears Dustin Martin won't be sending either a Christmas card!
Stay tuned to SEN.com.au in the coming weeks for the much-awaited return of Mike Sheahan’s top 50!
