Watching since 1993, so I’m not going to include for example Tim Watson even though he’d make an Essendon top 10 of all time list, because he was well past his best by then.

Hird
Lloyd
Merrett
Fletcher
Mercuri
 
Ablett snr
Ablett jnr
Hocking
Dangerfield
Cameron

Those last 2 so hard, in terms of talent its them and game winning ability but in terms of what they did for the club Selwood has to be in there as well. Hawkins amazing as well and Scarlett close to the best full back of all time. I think Hocking is one of the most underrated footballers of all time though.

Sucks that say Neale Daniher
Was stuffed with injuries in his prime being arguably the most talented Daniher Brother of the 4
 
Since approximately 1990 for me

1. Max Gawn
2. Christian Petracca
3. Clayton Oliver
4. David Neitz
5. Garry Lyon

Jimmy Stynes could easily be in there.. could even be second... and 2-5 could be in any order really... but Gawn is definitely #1.

Crows speak for themselves.
Homegrown
1. Andrew McCloud
2. Mark Ricciutto
3. Ben Hart
4. Mark Bickley
5. Simon Goodwin

No love for Modra or Jarman? D Jarmen won finals off his boot and Modra, well say no more (with his accolades)
 
N Daics is the best I've seen in B & W

He's absolutely devastating

Years away from his peak too

Are you 12?

Assuming youre actually around 25, Dane Swan 2009 to 2011 in the years he and Judd got the wrong Brownlows did far more than N Daicos has done yet.

If youre older than that, then really....

The levels of denigration to your own players you lot do is beyond hilarious.
 
I think people are forgetting just how dominant Clayton Oliver was. At his peak he was twice the player that Petracca is.
Also, I'd take Nick Daicos over Swan every day of the week. Doesn't need to constantly come on and off the ground for a rest, is a far superior user of the footy, still hits the scoreboard (like Swan) but makes his teammates infinitely better.
Go watch him live to see just how well he spots pockets of space and hits targets no one else on the field would even contemplate. He will easily end up being Collingwood's all time best, christ he's halfway there already

Yeah Swanny was a champion but this guy is on another level

We've had plenty of good players but he's the first in my lifetime that's been anywhere near any conversations about the greatest players of all time

Sit back and enjoy a truly elite career 👍

Haha….

‘Why?’

Could your supporter base froth any harder over this kid? It’s borderline obsessive.

You genuinely think some kid that’s a good current midfielder is in your best of all time?

Delusional…..

John Greening played 96 games before he was almost killed. Many consider Greening to be the best player ever to pull on the black and white.

So it's OK to make an assessment after 96 games, but not 91 - the number of games Nick has played?
 
From what I've seen:
  1. Gary Ablett senior
  2. Gary Ablett junior
  3. Matthew Scarlett
  4. Garry Hocking
  5. Corey Enright
For all time, it's just too hard to judge. I'd be pretty adamant about Ablett not moving through. Although we have been really fortunate with half back flankers, I can't imagine a better small to medium defender than Enright in his prime. Same with Scarlett as a full back.
 
Just since the Brisbane Lions started in 1997.

1- Michael Voss
2- Simon Black
3- Jason Akermanis
4- Lachie Neale
5- Jonathan Brown

Buckley
Sav Rocca

You’ve put a kid that’s had an ok career start above both of them?
