    If you could draft one player from the 21st century who would you pick?

    This, if he played in better/higher scoring teams he might have nudged 900 career goals. He also spent some prime years plugging holes in defence and the midfield at didn't he?

    Who was better in 2004? Warren Tredrea or Nick Riewoldt

    Riewoldt had a massive second half of the year in 2004 and finished the year really strongly. From memory he was in St Kilda's best players in all 3 of their finals. Tredrea had the better year, but didn't finish as strongly. I remember at the end of 2004 I definitely thought Riewoldt had become...

    Opinion Lance 'Buddy' Franklin - Will he be remembered more as a Hawk or a Swan ?

    He never put together a season as good as his 2011/12 at the Swans, let alone 2008.

    (Opinion) Is Darrel Baldock the worst Australian football hall of fame "legend" of all time?

    Was going to post this Coleman scored 3 100's in a defensive era, one of those years he went at over 6 goals a game. Both grandfathers (neither were Essendon supporters) both said Coleman was the best they had seen. The rationale was that the gap between him and the next best player in the...

    Toast What is the best 5 minute burst of individual footy brilliance you have seen?

    Apart from Stewart Dew in 08 gf, Wayne Carey round 10 1995. Essendon were winning until the last 5-10 minutes of the game and Carey kicked 2-3 goals including one on the run from outside 50 and one from a contested mark running back with the flight. Bombers fans left the ground in shock that...

    Player You Would Most Like to See Win the Norm Smith Medal

    Parker would want to have a big game. His grand final record is rather average.

    Opinion Geelong v Sydney GF. Neutral supporter prediction/analysis

    The game will end in a draw the game keeps drawing in extra time. No premier can be decided and 2022 gets written off ;). My serious prediction is that this might be a repeat of 2008 and the young Swans cause an upset.

    Best first week of finals ever?

    Can confirm, I'm 35 years old and its the first finals series I really remember. I remember being absolutely filthy at Carlton for losing as it meant my Hawks went straight out. Carey had a massive game in that drawn game as well from memory.

    Welcome Welcome to the Hawks Jack Scrimshaw

    Best kick in our team currently, gives me Burgoyne esque peace of mind when disposing of the football.

    Analysis Where does Buddy Franklin rank amongst the greats?

    I was only young when I saw them, but weren't SOS and Langford bigger and just as athletic versions of Rampe anyway? They got bags kicked on them, doubt Rampe would've been any different if he played in that era.

    Opinion Gary Ablett senior , Wayne Carey, Tony Lockett who's the best?

    I agree with you to an extent as better teams generally share the ball around and have more avenues to goal. However, I do believe Lockett would've kicked more goals than Piggy in that Hawthorn team, simply because he's the best shot for goal I've ever seen (and thus would've kicked more goals...

    Has Lance Franklin surpassed Wayne Carey as the greatest key forward of the modern era?

    I love Bud, but Carey has him covered. Buddy would get the points in a few areas such as athleticism (marginally, Carey was still a freak athlete), doing the mercurial, generating shots on goal and kicking distance (just, Carey was a thumping kick as well). Carey however, was a better mark, had...

    Best Individual season you've seen from a player

    Aker also did it in that Geelong game with the two goals from the boundary in 2005.

    Worst Club Switch in Modern AFL Era - Top 5

    Peter Everitt left Hawthorn in 2006 for a chance to play in a flag with Sydney iirc. Hawthorn then won a flag in 2008, which ended up being his last year. Assuming he was fit he would've definitely got a game as Renouf was our second ruckman.
