Nobody comes close.

Was thinking the same thing myself.
In terms of pure distributors of the ball from a contest it's Greg Williams first, then Sam Mitchell second and daylight third.
Very similar players in a lot of ways Williams and Mitchell. Short, not quick by foot but with minds that were running that fraction quicker than everyone else on the field and ultra tough campaigners as well.

FOX Footy
West Coast is investigating an alleged street brawl involving a young forward which left a man hospitalised. STORY >> bit.ly/4aBstauwww.facebook.com
That first comment though.Absolutely terrible news to hear as this young man was really just starting out his life.
Without knowing the exact details of what has happened it’s hard not to notice the Lifeline links that accompany certain articles but if it is what those links seem to be pointing to then you can’t help but feel that the AFL need to do more for their former employees.
So many kids get chewed up and spat out of the AFL system and then struggle to find a purpose in life after the realisation that they’ve been told that they’re not good enough to live the dream they grew up chasing. Maybe the AFL should put more funding into to their players transitioning out of the game than silly things like AFL X and the ridiculous number of other fads over the years.
Just one of the many reasons it’s so important that we here on BigFooty choose our words wisely when we critique players becasue as we’ve seen time and time again a lot of them and their families have been on our board.
Really do feel for this kids family and friends as I’m sure it will be an impossible hole to fill. RIP young man.

I never actually saw anything at all in Brockman.Probably curtains for his career. Hasn't really done too much at the Eagles in any case. Shame as he was such a bright talent for us in a dreary time.

Sad occurrence Either way but I just saw an article that has his family wanting to acknowledge that he didn’t take his own life.Absolutely terrible news to hear as this young man was really just starting out his life.

One of my son's Xmas presents was a Hawthorn calendar. He quickly noticed that a Melbourne player snuck in for the month of June. Good luck to CJ at his new club.
Guessing the printing press can't wait till after the trade period.

Not if you take into account what he was paid. If he weren't in that ridiculously salary assisted Lions side he would have taken someone else out of the side due to salary cap issues. Mitchell accepted unders to keep his side together.I think Simon Black was at least equal to Mitchell. Just a rolled gold gun.
My wife and kids went through exactly what he's going through. had a different reaction though. It's just stuff. Didn't have news crews covering specifically our place, just dealt with it.![]()
