This poll asks who was the best utility of the modern era of the players listed (which is different to asking who was the best player of those listed).
Some points to help you make an informed choice:
as a defender: Kouta and Hird floated across half back to take timely marks when playing on...
Some of the best players of all time were dominant mids who also hit the scoreboard.
For fun, I had a look at the stats of some great players, and added their goals and goal-assists (recorded since 2003), and also looked at their disposals.
As a rough measure of a highly damaging mid, I looked...
Ablett Snr - went alright in the 1990s but would be even more damaging now - would start in centre for clearances then move to full forward like Dusty on steroids
Hird - see above, plus his elite aerobic capacity would make him even better in today's game at pushing forward on the rebound...
I think 2022 will be the end of one era at Tigerland and the start of another.
Based on the current list, who do you predict is in Richmond's best 22 in 2022?
Do you think they will still be a top 4 side?
My guess is:
B Grimes, Bolta, Short
HB Vlastuin, Broad (Astbury?), Naish
C Caddy...
