Port Fans Needed: Top 15 Power players of AFL era

[Papa G]

Statistics are leaned on by those with no feel for the game.

 

[Magus]

Kane was great for a time but not so much towards the end. I rate the early part of his career highly.

His job on Simon Black in the 2004 flag was his ceiling.

 

[Us against the rest]

Wanganeen
Treadrea
R Gray
S Burgoyne
Schulz
Boak
Pickett
Wingard
P Burgoyne
Dew
Primus
C Cornes
Francou
K Cornes
Wilson

Could add James, Lade Wakelin, Schofield and more quite easily.

 

[Burningleviathan]

In no particular order
Tredrea
Wanganeen
R. Grey
R. James
Primus
P. Burgoyne
Schulz
Boak
Westhoff
S. Burgoyne
Lade
Francou
D. Wakelin
K. Cornes
Carr

 

[Greymatter]

Jason Davenport
Allan Murray
Derek Murray
John Rombotis
Adam Cockshell
Jaxon Crabb
Chris Hall
Marlon Motlop
Fabian Deluca
Matthew Westhoff
Luke Peel
Wade Thompson
Ryan Williams
Simon Phillips
Wade Champion

Jonathon Yerbury not worth a look?

 

[Burningleviathan]

Controversial maybe, but is Chornes a little overrated? Couldn't kick straight up forward so got moved down back and couldn't defend when the opposition attacked through his opponent. Would it bit fair to say he made his name in the years he was allowed to be the loose man in defense?
Can you really award top 15 to a player playing that role?

AA CHB in '04. AA midfielder in '07. He was patchy at the start and end of his career but was a supreme footballer in that '04-'07 period.

Chad Cornes at his best was 4 times the footballer Kane ever was.

Kane spent 50% of his career seagulling touches and kicking 9 irons.

 

[NoddyHolder]

thanks for the feedbacks guys. Heres what Im working with (in order):

1. Tredrea
2. Wanganeen
3. R. Gray
4. K Cornes
5. C Cornes
6. Primus
7. Lade
8. Francou
9. P Burgoyne
10. Wakelin
11. Boak
12. S Burgoyne
13 M Wilson
14 Dew
15 Schulz

Most Stiff are Westhoff, Cassisi, and Carr. Is this too outrageous??
This is obviously not including John Butcher at 1 because that goes without saying.

You should find a spot for Roger James. Without him we're still looking for our first afl flag

 

[Boxx]

Darren Mead is arguably the best CHB the Power has ever had, 122 games - likely would have been 200+ if Port were in the AFL a few years earlier and our inaugural John Cahill medallist.

Needs to be in the discussion!

 

[scotty13]

As title reads. Im making a list of top 15 players of the AFL era for Port Adelaide and need help. Port fans, who are your top 15, completely disregarding their performances prior to AFL era?

Do we also disregard their performances prior to being at Port or after leaving Port? or if they were on Ports list then its all good for their whole career?

I had Wakelin as our best KPD in the AFL. Mead was great one on one but not great at rebounding off of half back, if memory serves, so just holds him back. Definitely in the discussion though.

 

[Magus]

Darren Mead really was a super player. Gets forgotten a bit due to retiring before 2004 I reckon.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Why is everyone listing Shaun Burgoyne? Assuming we're not including his Hawthorn achievements, he's nowhere near it.

Yeah... If we include achievements not at Port, Tom Harley would have to be in discussions... 2 x premiership captain.

 

[True__Believer]

Tredrea
Wanganeen
C.Cornes
M.Primus
R.Gray

IMO top 5 we have had in that order. Could throw any one of 20-22 more for the last ten spots.

 

[Powerstufff]

Jason Davenport

Yeah but only if you count when we played West Coast

 

[Burningleviathan]

Lade to Junior Burger was iconic. He was our leading midfielder and there was his smother in '04. Memories fade so maybe those moments stick out a bit more and, to be honest, i thought he was a better player at Port than Hawthorn but that may be a bit of selective memory.

[MutleyDog]

Daniel Stewart surely

 

[Interstater]

Anyone that leaves our club and plays for another AFL club is automatically disqualified under my definition of "top"

Of course that's very subjective.
