Cox ahead of Madden & Dempsey?...If you saw enough of Doull, Flower & Matthews, then you saw Dempsey.

6 Blues players from a Blues fan is understandable, I guess.....Obviously you missed out on Jezza.

I did not see enough of Dempsey career to include him but heard he was one of better rucks in 70's. Jezza, I saw the very end of his career as a veteran , captain-coach. The highlights of him in his youth, leave me in no doubt that he along with Gary Ablett Senior most skillful players caught on film. But cannot include him as probably saw bits and pieces of 20 to 30 games at most of him on tv replays as a kid.
Madden and Cox is toss of coin really. I feel bad leaving Malcolm Blight out the most. But could not fit him in when include Gary Ablett senior that played same spots.

Love the Garry Wilson selection mate. Could have easily been a multiple Brownlow winner. An absolute champion.

Not a bad team but lol@Leon Davis

Jetta and Greene probably not at the level butfilezilla uc browser rufus Greene plays the flank as good as anyone I've seen and Jetta is the best shutdown small defender IMO because he uses the ball so well and doesn't seem to lose many 1v1s, although Grimes is very, very good I think he partly benefits from being in the best defence in the league.

Have to say, Mercuri stands-out here as a player who simply doesn't belong in this company, like the proverbial sore thumb actually....And Malthouse isn't far behind him either.

Just insert the names from the lions 3-peat team

well it is about who the individual cosiders to be the best theyve seen,, silky mover mercuri,was a good watch & could play imo,
on mick..only reason carlton won '82 GF was becos bourke broke malthouses collarbone last training drill on the thursday,marcou ashman,sheldon etc slept like babies knowing mad mick wasnt gonna be there clipping them all day,becos hed done it all year,lets just say that mosquito fleet walked a foot taller that day on the abscence of malthouse,thats y i rate him... i went to every game that year,HE was the difference,not taylor being left out

 

[Procrastinator35]

C'mon man, I can name 2 far superior half forward flankers from the Hawks, right off the bat: Gary Buckenara & Darren Jarman.....And there'd be a dozen more from other clubs over the years far more worthy.....Much as there'd be at lest 20 far superior back pockets to Old Micky Malthouse.

Mate, Flower had 10x the natural ability & grace of Schimma.....Schimma was all heart, soul, guts & determination.....Lets get real here.

Sam Mitchell was the single most important cog in leading the Hawks to the Triple Crown…..His finals record even surpasses Matthews & Knights for high-end consistency, throughout our clubs storied history....His 5 club B&F's in an era of champions, is second only to Leigh Matthews.

mate when i was a kid kicking cans & stones around the outers in the 70's we all pretended to be knights or bartlett,grieg,shcimma,hudson or lethal or the ghost or blight...no one ever wanted to be robert flower..no disrespect

That's because he played for a cellar-dwelling, unglamorous club, that spent almost the entire 70's rooted to the bottom half of the table.

The true test came when he represented the Vics, where he showed up the best of the best, as the most highly-skilled wingman in the history of the comp.

That team up against West Coast's best team right now, can't see West Coast getting within 5 goals of them.

Madden v Naitanui, Madden would win that battle and then good luck preventing Voss, Ablett, Harvey, Buckley and Roo from winning the contested footy.

Very similar team to my own. I’ve copied my team directly from a thread I have on this ‘Lists’ page

Each Club's Best Teams Since 1980

In conjunction with the thread I created on the top 100 players I have seen since 1980, this is the best teams from that era. It is purely based on their careers at that club. Selection was based on who I would play in my teams rather than best in a position. An example is Tony Shaw in the back...

Players that I have that you don’t are 2 Bombers who I may be accused of bias for including but don’t really give 2 rats about because they were absolutely worthy - Tim Watson and Fletch. I’ve also included Matthews, Franklin and Goodes. I had Daics in my team for a long time before I included Buddy so we were very similar. You must be of similar vintage.

Seems that you’re still strangely intent on bagging other posters’ affinity with the sublime talents of Mercuri. He was a gun, deal with it.

Mercuri was better than Bucky.
