OFA D - Stavros - 25-Aug-2013
Who do you think are our top 3 UNDERATED defenseman?
Alternatively, list who you think are the top 7 best (no need to rank but feel free).
RE: OFA D - Jester - 25-Aug-2013
Elli, Steve, Kevin
Frank, DanP, JP, DanK, Thomas, Taha, Merv
RE: OFA D - deliverance - 25-Aug-2013
Gid belongs on this list
OFA D - 5barwarrior - 25-Aug-2013
You need to add Mary to that list. She carried Taha to the finals. Sure she needs to work on the offensive 2-bar but her defence is as good or better than most.

I think the idea was for all of us to create our own list. So be my guest.
RE: OFA D - deliverance - 26-Aug-2013
I was too lazy to mention my list:
Underrated:
- Mark French
- Mary
- Jesse as an OD (we rarely see it, but he's got some dirty 2-bar shooting that he's been working on)
Top 7:
- Gid
- Thomas
- Frank
- Merv
After that it all falls off in this other pool of good but not great defenseman who all excel at different things, i can't really group that part
RE: OFA D - SilentSam - 26-Aug-2013
I would change my lists drastically depending on what you're talking about... Best offensive defenseman? Best defensive defenseman?
Underrated: Elli for sure, Vern has upped his D game immensely as of late with all the dumping/passing/off the wall options, and Anthony simply because noone has said his name yet... how people forget.
Defensive shooters: Since it's limited to 7: Manny, Packer, Omar, Gid, Frank, JP, Tits, and Thomas. Easily a few people could be swapped in and out.
Defensive blockers: I find Merv, Frank, and Taha the hardest to score on. Everyone else I've had streaks of either scoring well, or getting my ass handed to me, but those 3 to me have the most consistently hard D game to game.
RE: OFA D - garbaggio - 27-Aug-2013
Most underrated: Chris Thomas, Gid, Mary
Taha
RE: OFA D - foosboss - 27-Aug-2013
Underrated: Dan, Sammy
Defensive Shooters: Merv, Gid, Thomas
Defensive Blockers: Merv, Taha, Merv (again)
RE: OFA D - rustyspurs - 28-Aug-2013
The under rated defenders are a little hard to list as it varies from night to night. I have seen some of the new players have real hot streaks for a while and then wilt as the concentration wanes later in the night.
It is easy to rank the best players like Merv and Taha and Jon. All you have to do is look at who wins the money consistently. These are the best players whether they play front or back it doesn't matter. They win the dough.
Easy question. The rest of us are just donating to the pot. LOL
OFA D - mwhiting - 28-Aug-2013
Well said Vern...i aspire to one day becoming one of those consistent players
