Fair question. Unclear in my mind and I prefer to let players complete their career before bestowing on them the honor of being in my all time team. fwiw:
Simpson
Lawry
Bradman
G.Chappell
Miller/Border
Harvey
Gilchrist
Lindwall/O'Reilly
Warne
Lillee
McGrath
This is a big if, but IF Jack wanted to go on, and he remains uninjured this year, why not give him another season?
We'd have been royally ****ed without him this year, with Lynch down. He's still a formidable target, he still brings the ball to ground if he doesn't mark (which is a huge part...
I dont know why this doesn't or cant happen more often in footy, but I'd love to see proper succession plan stuff happen, instead of just dumping a coach and moving on.
Especially when we're in the position we're in, 3 flags in 6 years.
Identify a future coach, let's say Shane Edwards. I...
Still dont pick guys in my ATXI until their careers finish.
Morris
Barnes
Bradman
G.Chappell
Harvey
Miller
Gilchrist
Warne
OReilly
Lillee

Cummins and Smith definitely in line once their careers end.
Pretty hard to separate Dusty, Royce Hart, KB and Francis Bourke imo.
Hart was the greatest CHF of all time (along with Carey), named at CHF in the team of the century.
Bourke was on the wing in the all time team of the century but could play anywhere. Hard as *.
KB was the biggest...
Jack still adds plenty of value to the team. Even if he isn't dominating, he's still demanding a good KPD and he does clever things and is a general out there. Should definitely go around in 2023 unless someone is demanding his spot,m which they aren't.

Dumb maybe, but could anyone see us getting another year or two out of JR as a key defender?
He reads the play better than most and makes good decisions in traffic. Could see him being a Paul Roos type at CHB. He’d set things up well.
He might be past it but it’s worth considering imo.
Yeh, he probably should have had a set shot. Yeh, we probably should have nailed one more goal from the 20 plus behinds we kicked. We'd have won either way. Meh.
I'd say darker times if we've reverted back to the old Richmond "pile s**t on the one bloke when things aren't going well"
Can you tell me where I said if you're not AFL standard, dont talk about footy? Pretty sure I didnt and I actually said "stop shitcanning one bloke and revealing how little...
People are venting like unintelligent morons. Very very little of the responsibility for yesterday's loss falls on Aart's shoulders. You know nothing about footy if you think he's to blame for yesterday.
And as such I am happy to call it out for the vitriolic bullshit that it is. Once again...
Mate, I'm as emotionally invested in it as anyone here. I'm pretty sure being healthily invested isn't shitcanning one decision one player made to the point it could be very detrimental to his mental health. When he was far from responsible for what happened yesterday.
Hardly think that's what...
Well let's just say almost every AFL player is elite in the context of the whole scheme of things, to just get there is elite. Not the real point of my post anyway.
The vitriol in this thread is putrid. The guy made a bad decision under pressure. He wasn't the only bloke who screwed up and you can't expect to win wasting so many chances. 33 scoring shots to 22.
We had more inside 50s. More possessions, more tackles, more free kicks, more one-percenters...
He's not a full time mid because he improves our team significantly when he is in the back line. We started playing good footy this year when him and Balta went back instead of being forward of the ball.
With Prestia, Cotchin, Edwards, Graham, Short, Martin and Bolton all able to run thru the...
