Last poll had McLeod just pipping Roo... but personally I voted Roo.
Depends if you prefer more brilliant or more consistent.
Mark Ricciuto. Worst 8 time All-Australian of all time?

It is an interesting one because McLeod is unlucky not to be a Brownlow medalist but probably pretty lucky to be a B2B Norm Smith winner.
Personally over the two winning grand finals I would rate the efforts of Darren Jarman higher.
McLeod 61 disposals and no goals.
Jarman 34 disposals and 11 goals.
Ricciuto did alot more of the contested stuff during his career that (even though he was clearly rated) did not get the same Adelaide media fawning that McLeod would get any time he starred. McLeod the player with the higher ceiling and should be noted that his body may have held him back a little later in his career as well.
On the topic of the thread though.
McLeod 5 AA's, 4 on the field. The same amount of onfield spots as Ricciuto.

Imo, Ben Hart should have won Normy in the 1998 grand final... but all mentioned were great players for the Crows who all played their part.

Who would be the best back to back Grand Final performing player without a Norm Smith?
Darren Jarman? Sam Mitchell? Anyone else I am not thinking of?
Referring only to the Norm Smith medal era.

Was is Hart or Caven on Carey that day. I have not really watched the 98 Grand Final that closely in a very long time. Can pretty much recite the commentary for every goal of the last quarter in 1997 but the 98 VHS never got the same level of use.
Will give that game a watch one day again to examine his influence.

True. For some reason his effort in 2008 is more memorable for me. I know he had 25 disposals in 2009. How far was he from best that day?

Caven.
Hart was playing 1:1 on Crocker in Pagan's paddock, repelling so many forward entries in the 1st half.

In the same era with voss hird and etc I'd say he did pretty well. Wouldn't have thought it mattered really.

Re Ricciuto not being a legend, there is a guy I think you should check out.
His name is Bob Dylan.
He is so goooooooooooooooooooooood. Not one AA. But worthy of being AA last year ahead of Selwood based upon just a few songs.
Tip for BF: more Dylan. Less AA which is the most meaningless award in footy except for lesser lighters who have one good season.

Sam Mtichell leading newspaper awards and brownlow votes year on year and rarely made it past the 40.
He sure is.
It’s a bit like being the least attractive Victoria’s Secret model though, isn’t it

No, that would be boomer Harvey.
That voice!!!
It sounds like someone pouring a bucket of diarrhoea over a low revving chainsaw
Mmm yes and no.
Comparing the players year within the same year, being on the interchange is deemed as having not as good a season as the starting 18, according to the selectors.
However looking at a career overall you are an 8 time AA or not. Youre not a 6 time AA interchanger, no one looks at it that way.
His best was not as good as those 3, but he was a damn good player and ultra consistant at very high levels.

Not everything will be at Andrew Walker's hat level of significance.
