Pavs a gun, but I bracketed when I thought they could be swapped. As good as Pav is, Pendles clear top P. Pav is obviously better than many on that list and a genuine top 20 in comp, but Pendles top 3 IMO with Buddy and Gazz.

Polly Farmer
Keith Greig/ Adam Goodes
Bill Hutchison
Warwick Irwin
Alex Jesaulenko

That is a great list. Coleman is probably the unlucky one. Utting is the lucky one!
Maybe I would have Wels Eicke instead of Eade. The South Australians would possibly make a case for Russell Ebert.
 

Hawkins imo

Reiwoldt N (Jack)

Rioli a bit unlucky


Surely Zaharakis.

Bill Hutchison


James Hird a bit unlucky there - was actually voted ahead of Hutchison in Essendon's team of the century.

It's all subjective of course. Hird would not look out of place instead of Hutchison. D was a tough one. I actually was contemplating, as suggested above, Doull or Dyer ahead of Dempsey, possibly even Daicos or Dunstall.
