Harley Bennell?Harley Bennell would be the closest version of him playing right now.
Even more than a pure footballer than the Duck?Harley Bennell?
Harley's a gun, no doubt, but he is much more mechanical than Winnie. Winnie is as close to the best suited footballer to play that roaming half forward role.
Best pure footballer I have seen play with North Melbourne.
Yep.Even more than a pure footballer than the Duck?

Ditto to that. Unheralded as far as i'm concerned when it comes to skills (indigenous or otherwise), we are lucky at north to have had the most skilled and most dedicated indigenous footballers to have played the game (cable being the other). only player i've ever seen to be as good as winnie on his non preferred for both length and accuracy is Aker, (even as late as last season was sensational.)I still rate him as the most talented indigenous footballer i've seen play the game. Freak as a description would be an understatement.
the best part about it is, that in 20 30 years or more, you can drag out a winnie highlight package and still be amazed at what he did, when he did that knee, i for one was gutted, it was like following a great thoroughbred, having it go to the paddock for a spell and never coming backI can't remember a lot about Winnie, I was only a kid when he was still playing, but I do remember him being my favourite player for quite a while. I used to walk around proudly with the number 15 on my footy jumper!
