Plenty of dumb points been made in this thread but ranking Nick Riewoldt and especially Pavlich with Rance and not Scarlett has to take the cake. Their primes literally overlap with Scarlo while Rance's first All-Australian was one when they were 32 and 31 respectively. More accurate list would...

Pressure for Cats, Demons, Lions, Tigers, Swans, Pies, Port, Blues, Freo and Bulldogs to make finals. It'll be interesting to see who misses out, chances are one will be unlucky through injury and one more will straight up fail to play to expectations. I doubt the three Big4 clubs all make it...

2005/06 are underrated here. High scoring =/= entertaining, they were intense and hard fought with around 4-5 legit great players present. Easily better games than 2016/21 IMO.

Almost like the AFL has been changing/introducing rules at the end of every season for years. I guess the dogs are to blame for the new time wasting crackdown.

I think you're forgetting Stewart Loewe, multiple time AA who kicked more goals than any of Dunstalls teammates. I agree with you that Plugger wouldn't have kicked 1700 goals or whatever people claim. The larger slice of the smaller cake pretty much cancels eachother out IMO.

I was unclear, I meant to say only one of Henry or Kolodjashnij in the team at the same time which is why I left out Kolo in my 22. Bews was unlucky to be left out but I think Tuohy can play the small lockdown role and Clark takeover Tuohy's roles further up the field.

Harsh for Bews I admit but I think only one of Henry/Kolo in the team at any one time is for the best, it makes for strong depth as well.

Finally settled on the 22 I'd like to see in 2021 Jack Henry Mark Blicavs Mark O'Connor Tom Stewart Lachie Henderson Zach Tuohy Mitch Duncan Patrick Dangerfield Sam Menegola Rhys Stanley Brandan Parfitt Cameron Guthrie Quinton Narkle Jeremy Cameron Shaun Higgins Gryan Miers Tom Hawkins Luke...

Fair enough

Well if you begin comparing eras then the 80s fall away pretty quick as well, even the current North Melbourne team would win minimum 8 in a row if they were transported back then. Which brings us back to threepeat Lions, interstate side threepeat one of which came against the reigning premiers...

Melbourne's 8 in 10 and winning 6 trumps everyone, Collingwood 4peat have a case as well.

Wont comment on the OP, but Richmond's back 6 of Grimes, Rance, Broad, Vlaustin, Atsbury and Houli is one of the most impressive i've ever seen, closest to 07 Harley, Scarlett, Milburn, Enright, Egan and Mackie IMO

Its really not that shocking, current 18 yo draft age utensils up a lot of kids education and subsequent career pathways, realistically not many of the crop will be able to make a living outta footy yet the most important year of their life so far for both football and education happen...

Unless the draft age is raised to 19 (should have been done years ago) and is pushed forward a year, then we got 3 first rounders from a more developed crop. Got me salivating just thinking about it.

Is this the longest running thread in BF history?

George Moloney, Gary Malarkey and Tim Kelly to name a few, always wondered whether this was just the "Polly" effect or do we have other links to WA as well.

How about D. Fothergil or H. Collier?

??? There was a ton of spud service in the 80s/90s especially if you played for a poor side, idk if you got some nostalgia glasses on or what but this is quite a strange opinion to hold. Dunstall was the spearhead of a top 3 side in the history of the sport that scored far more often than any...

Paul Chapman > Stephen Milne, obvious bias on my part but this is a hill I'm more than willing to die on.

Never thought I'd see the day Jonathan Brown is rated higher than GAJ but here we are. No Kernahan is strange and I don't get what "seen" means here, wouldn't he have seen the likes of Leigh Matthews whilst watching football when he was young.

Naughton/Jamarra key forward combo is gonna be interesting to watch over the next decade or so, sky's the limit for that pairing.

Will never get tired of pin point gazza passes, gonna be sad to see him go

Gary Dempsey (Brownlow/ATG status), Scott Wynd (Brownlow), Luke Darcy (MVP) and Norman Ware (Brownlow). Hardly a "tradition of tall spuds" in fact you could count on one hand the amount of teams that have had ruck history as strong as the dogs.

Got blown out half way through the second and both teams cruised to the finish. Not much to take from this game apart from Grundy = god and Gardner = spud

Ah, thanks for letting me know. Is Gowers not 100% as well? seems to me like he'd do well along side Bruce and Naughton playing as a marking medium forward.

Gardner and Cavarra were unexpected (would've gone with Lipinski and McLean) I'm anticipating a close one. Hope the dogs go over.

Charlie Constable for us Other Teams: Jackson Hately (Hopefully gets more game time) Marlion Pickett Bailey Dale Daniel Venables (Hopefully can stay healthy)

Not yet for me, GAJ, Buddy and Judd still the 3 best players to debut since 2000 IMO. Fyfe and Dusty have rounded out the top 5 though.

No, but said performance shouldn't be used to discredit the rest of his career especially considering it contains 2 MVPs 2 Brownlows and a number of strong final performances.
