Can't really compare, as they were different era and I was too young to really appreciate the skill of Matera at the time. They all brought different skills and strengths: Judd with his strength/burst of speed/ability to get it out, Matera with his speed and kicking, and Cousins with his running power, stamina and disposal.

Most visually impressive was probably Matera, but again this is mostly based on the finals, big games and highlights. I actually feel Cousins maybe had the biggest impact when playing at his peak, with Judd and Kerr not far behind. Watch the 2006 comeback vs Geelong to see peak Cousins and Kerr when Judd was out.

If Judd stayed then daylight behind him.

I was going say Judd who?...... but that would have been a churlish reaction to him bailing on the club.

So it have to be enough to say Judd left to go to .......... Carlton.

1. Matera
2. Judd
3. Cousins (normally wouldn't have him in the top 10 as you can't discount his later contribution to destroying culture)
4. Suma & Kennedy ( ;) )
5. Jacko
6. Woosha
