Thoughts and others?

 

[DG-Man]

Kennedy over Kelly (Syd one)

 

[DG-Man]

Hayes over Hodge as well.

 

[Pegasaur]

Pav should at least be bracketed.

 

[DG-Man]

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.

 

[Donakebab]

Zaharakis over Ziebell.

 

[AlterRob]

Hawkins>Hodge

 

[Willo #6]

Kirk Ugle for the U spot.

 

[DG-Man]

Yep. Hodge was a yesteryear call. I corrected it with Hayes. Hayes vs Hawkins?

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

i'd go bartel over black, goddard over goodes and zaharakis over ziebell

 

[Crow_Sting]

Cotchin over Cox
Zaharakis over Ziebell
Hayes over Hawkins, Hodge
Bartel over Black
Goddard over Goodes
Kennedy (Syd) over Kelly

 

[Karnezis_13]

Zorko>Zaharakis>Ziebell!
Or am I getting too excited
Considering no one has done so yet, ill say well done on the thread

 

[RyanMac95]

Would put Cotch over Cox any day of the week

 

[Slattery_20]

Best for V is Milne, because he's an absolute Vagina of a bloke.
Would be in C, but can't spell that one out on here.

 

[raskolnikov]

Thompson (Thomas)

Thomas as in Dale Thomas? Ha ha lordy. Good one.

 

[worbod]

How about an all time list? These are my initial thoughts after simply going off the top of my head without thoroughly consulting every page of my copy of "Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers".

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.

 

[DG-Man]

Dyer or Doull over Dempsey
Hart over Hutch

 

[kfc1]

Hodge

Hawkins imo

Reiwoldt N (Jack)

Rioli a bit unlucky

Ziebell

Surely Zaharakis.

Bill Hutchison

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

 

[worbod]

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.

 

[tribey]

The South Australians would possibly make a case for Russell Ebert.

Probably? Cripes.

Even Rocket would defer to Ebert.

 

[angus BEEF]

Adem Yze for 'Y' position on all time list

 

[MG MG]

Zaharakis over Ziebell

 

[Wallaby]

Eric Zschech. Played centre for Richmond in 1932 & 1934 premierships. The Richmond centreline of Alan Geddes, Eric Zschech and Stan Judkins played in 4 straight GFs (1931-34) and was as famous in its time as Bourke, Barrot, Clay.

 

[mufassa]

Zaharakis over Ziebell

Not this year.
