It says greatest you have seen and i have been watching from 1984 onwards so here goes (in no particular order)
1. Carey - matchwinner, leader, tough etc 2.7 goals a game at CHF in strong teams with other great goal scorers
2. Ablett - ridiculous talent and could do it all 4.2 goals a game
3. Lloyd - the last of the great old school full forwards averaged 3.4 goals a game. would have topped 1,000 were it not for injury and Matthew effing Knights.
4. Lockett - averaged 4.8 goals in some great Sydney sides and some ordinary saints sides. Great old school full forward.
5. Dunstall - averaged 4.7 goals a game in some great Hawks sides. Harder working than most other full forwards of his time.
6. Brereton - the best CHF in the land when CHF was "the hardest position on the ground" - the ultimate big game player and averaged 2.2 goals a game. See his performance in 1985 grand final kicked 8 when his side got smashed. Would have been a great full forward were it not for dunstall.
7. Franklin - Averages 3.2 a game when 60 is winning colemans. A freak, nothing more and nothing less.
8. J. Brown - 2.3 goals a game. CHF in the greatest 3 peat side of all time. Another tough big game player.
9. Betts - Best small forward i have seen - was a really tough choice between him and Milne. Betts just shades him. Just
10. Kernahan. 2.9 goals a game a lot of it at CHF. 12 seasons 10 of which got over goals. Ultra consistent. What a beautiful mark and hairdo.
This is over the last 30 years and gee whiz it isnt easy.
