In a season where he’s started in just 12 games.

Twelve games, that's a low-key performance for a season. Must be more to that award than just playing.

In a season where he’s started in just 12 games.

And people wonder Man Utd are so despised...

Didn't he just win some Player of the Year award?

I read somewhere that Ryan Giggs was named player of the year.

Yup it was Giggs. All those footballers look the same to me

Cycling: Female – Gotta be Nicole Cooke we still haven't seen the best of her: Male – Taylor Phinney with an option on Mark Cavendish.

Ironman: M-Terrenzo Bozzone F-Chrissie Wellington

ITU: Too hard to call at the 'mo but a good draft might be…

Football : Nemanja Vidic, you can't win games without a great defender and he scores some great headers from set play.

Cricket : Mitchell Johnson, a genuine all rounder.

NRL : Michael Jennings,…

Or maybe this guy.

I'd be dubious that anyone is going to be able jump on a plane, jump on an ice rink, and make a Canadian junior team, from playing inline. We have some inline players down here and its about a 2 year conversion process. The skating is…

(Umm, edition 5 of ice hockey posts that no one else cares about)

Oh, stuff them. You're right about Malkin taking the Pens on his shoulders last year, and playoff performance always counts double. But were I to start a team from scratch I'd pick Ovechkin first. Or maybe this guy.

He's a scoring machine and plays in a team that on balance is not as good as the Penguins.

Shooting percentage 10.6, under all the NHL leaders, and behind the top shooters by almost 10%. He's only a +8, which when you consider how he's been awarded points for 110…

He's not exactly led his team to glory.

He's a scoring machine and plays in a team that on balance is not as good as the Penguins. Plus some of those goals just happen to be unbelievable (case in point, the other day). I think he's making more of a…

so I'll pick Ovechkin in the NHL.

Meh. You shoot that many times, sure, you'll pick up the Rocket.

He's not exactly led his team to glory. They're struggling to beat New York who have only scored about 10 goals all season, out in the first round last year as…

Hockey's an interesting one. I suppose Ovechkin, but maaaayybeeee Crosby

Didn't he just win some Player of the Year award?

Not sure if he has, but Cannavaro won the Golden boot in 2006 and that wouldn't have put him at the top of anybody's draft. Gerrard's a great player, don't get me wrong. But Ronaldo and Messi are just gearing…

American Football I'd take Adrian Peterson because you need a good running back and he is still very young.

Ooo nice, I think I might amend my pick.

I doubt Gerrard's own mother would pick him over Ronaldo or Messi.

Didn't he just win some Player of the Year award?

American Football I'd take Adrian Peterson because…

And Stephen Gerrard or Fernando Torres for football

Savvy, perhaps. As far as football is concerned? No. I doubt Gerrard's own mother would pick him over Ronaldo or Messi.

The more cricket savvy Dropkicks last night selected Chris Gayle for cricket.

And Stephen Gerrard or Fernando Torres for football

So I'm a football and cricket savvy Dropkick? Cool.

A draft pick means that if you want, and…

So the “football savvy” Dropkicks are obviously Liverpool fans.

Far from it, as I am led to believe

Messi for me.

And in cricket, I’d have Dhoni or Sehwag, assuming we’re talking about someone to cover all types of cricket. Gayle breaks down too much,

The more cricket savvy Dropkicks last night selected Chris Gayle for cricket.

And Stephen Gerrard or Fernando Torres for football

Dominated the SA v Aus series??? He scored one century. Up until now he has only scored that one century. Smith was the one who really dominated it.

OK, he shows promise but hardly at the top of a dream list.

And he reminds me of Ganguly…

Football: Torres or Messi, goal machines

Cricket: Chris Gayle, he's a winner and he's a funky mofo

NRL: Brett Stewart, bad habits'n'all

Football: Peter Crouch. [And I'm a ManU fan]

This is all screwy, on both counts.

After one innings?

As for the McCullum v Gilchrist debate; as much as we might not like it, the last fortnight has reinforced who’s boss there.

In rugby having a decent front row is the most important thing, but it hardly brings the crowds in which is all…

All Blacks – That Argentinian Half Back Agustín Pichot.

The Dropkicks (well most of them) voted him the best halfback in the world but not our first pick.

Is there a reverse draft?

Now *that* I would watch! 'Oi. You. Shitty player. Bugger off to the Utah Jazz.'

The NBA…

Now *that* I would watch! 'Oi. You. Shitty player. Bugger off to the Utah Jazz.'

Black Caps – Duminy, even though we probably need Shane Bond, or Zaheer Khan, even.

Tottenham – If I can't have Jurgen Klinsmann and Teddy back, then I want Messi, even though we probably *need* a centre back…

I'll agree with you on Kobe.

I think you should click the link and you'll learn what my answer was.

As for McCullum, I don't like Australian cricketers. McCullum I picked for his consistency as a wicketkeeper and the fact that when he's on his A-Game he will kick ass,…

I'll agree with you on Kobe.

NRL: Any player? Jesus. Probably Greg Inglis, provided he agrees to lose that pre-season weight gain.

Rugby: Any player at all? Shit. I've probably got to go with someone like Matfield…

Rugby: Leilea Masaga/Israel Dagg

Football: Peter Crouch. [And I'm a ManU fan]

Cricket: Brendon McCullum for his dual-abilities as keeper and batsman.

NFL: Ladanian Tomlinson or Ray Lewis

Sisters Williams

Andy Murray (the outsider pick)
