Should we limit this to those we have seen, or all-time?

Young.
It wasn't a criticism, just wasn't sure if you were being facetious or not.
ps I'm old
Agreed.Old is good, better than those who haven't seen certain players play.
How good would be if we had footage of Bunton? But we can only go by recounts, and based on the oral evidence he could be argued to be the greatest of all time, at least he was in his era, according to those who watched him. Based on what I've read, Haydn Bunton Sr was very similar to Ablett Jnr
seriously?I don't know who Baldock is, but no Loewe?
The Hawthorn forwards are absurd (cannot really include Ablett imo but you don't need him). Four can make legitimate claims to be in an all time AFL team and whoever you pick in the last two will be Hall of Fame level or close to it.
Probably a better debate is who is second - Geelong? Richmond? Essendon? Any other teams in contention?
seriously?
what? read every single post that came after yours before i replied to you?Are you unable to read more than two posts per page, seriously??
Yes I know it's based on the one about the best back 6 of all time and Hawthorn probably win this one, but since it's season over for 12 teams may as well...
The Eagles one is probably fairly weak but quite competitive.

Am I stiff leaving out Hudson/Rioli... I dunno I like the above team
Probably need to dump one of the talls for a medium. Good luck choosing one though. All guns.In the time I've been watching footy for the Saints there have been some awesome forwards..
Lockett, Riewoldt, Milne, Loewe, Gehrig, Winmar.

It wouldnt be criminal. Cameron is a better foward. Cameron kicked more goals in his 3 years then ablett jnr did in his 6.Geelong's 'd be up there I reckon. Not Hawks level, but probably Top 3-5.
HF: S. Johnson, Ablett Snr., Ablett Jnr.
F: D. Wade, T. Hawkins, P. Chapman
Doug Wade (1057 goals)
Ablett Snr. (1031 goals)
Hawkins (781 goals - current)
Steve Johnson (516 goals)
Ablett Jnr. (445 goals)
Paul Chapman (388 goals)
Combined 4000+ goals there. Ablett Jnr. slightly controversial, but he was a goal kicking forward for 7 years before he became a mid, so would be criminal to have guys like Brownless or Jez Cameron who has only been with us for 3 years, ahead of him.
Love the balance of that forward line too, and salivate at the the thought of those champs all playing together in a hypothetical universe, haha.
Lindner was one of our best in the 89 grand final. But oddly played in defence at the end of the season. Kicked some big bags earlier in the season though.Yeah remember Lindner, on his day could grab the game by the scruff and rip it apart. Cats were spectacular with him and Gary senior in the team.
I’m just trying to remember if he played in 89 or if he’d already left the Cats by then?
I think Ronnie Burns was him and Stevie J as small forwards would be very good to watch.Lindner was one of our best in the 89 grand final. But oddly played in defence at the end of the season. Kicked some big bags earlier in the season though.
Anthony William Brownless a bit stiff.Geelong's 'd be up there I reckon. Not Hawks level, but probably Top 3-5.

I'm 43, does that make me young or old? Did he ever win a Coleman medal? I'm sure I can google any player, but that doesn't mean I should know every single player, or that anybody else does.
Anthony William Brownless a but stiff.
Brownless is a tough one to rate. he was probably more talented then hawkins. brownless big finals performances speak for themselves. But doesnt have the runs on the board that hawkins did.He was very good but with 3 other key forwards who have 2600 goals between them it’s hard to slot him in
You know you’re winning when the bloke with the highest per game goal average in the history of the game gets left out…Franklin Roughead Brereton

Hawkins was very close to a Norm Smith and played a big part in getting us going last year as well.Brownless is a tough one to rate. he was probably more talented then hawkins. brownless big finals performances speak for themselves. But doesnt have the runs on the board that hawkins did.
Only because he put roughead in who should be nowhere near this side nor almost every other teams sides.You know you’re winning when the bloke with the highest per game goal average in the history of the game gets left out…
If you havent seen them then you cant rate them. You would just be making things up.Should we limit this to those we have seen, or all-time?
