bartel is a tad overrated. Didnt get as much out of his career as he should have. simon black is battling it out with adam goodes as the most overrated player of all time.

You think black could play a marking role in the foward line, tag or go down to defence to be third man up? have we all forgotton who black was? He was as one dimensional as tony lockett.

We were just talking about a single game in regards to hawkins. There was no mention of riewoldt. and hawkins spent about 7 seasons as our sole key tall.

Which is odd given richmond have double the supporters dont they?

Their stats are remarkably similar. Eerily so in fact.

And yet the poll in this thread has hawkins with double the votes despite it being started by a cats supporter.

Yeah we lost pods early in the match so he was the only tall in the foward line and took multiple defenders.

In what season did pendlebury have an impact on the team that was like dangerfields 2016 and 2017?

so what answer were you looking for then? you complain about a lack of scientific analysis and then mock the very concept of it.

beep wrong. Its completely based off scientific observation. if you take 1000 players who play out their careers to they retire voluntarially their peak perfromance is almost always between 25-29.

He peaked at 23-25. Which is well before every other mids peak which is usually around 25-29. but its not only that he peaked earlier but his form fell away during the 25-29 period. he wasnt as good. And the difference was swan was gone, and your assertion that pendlebury was better then swan...

Pendleburys best seasons were all when swan was still playing despite the fact pendlebury hadnt hit his peak midfield years. Then with swan gone pendleburys form goes backwards rather then keeps getting better as you would expect.

Please dont be an idiot and focus on a single game played against different opponents and different periods of their career. Danger was a shadow of his peak in 2020. go look at hirds 2000 grand final vs 2001. Now imagine he only played one of them. pendlebury wasnt even the best midfielder in...

Its a popularity contest. No one that is actually evaluating the best player.

But is that an error in thinking. we all think pendlebury has been elite for much longer but dangers 8 all australians vs pendleburys 6 suggests otherwise. Are we wrong in our thinking. Collingwood gets all the attention in the media whilst dangers career in adelaide did not. pendlebury is...

so selwood three times the player of pendlebury. got it. dont be so stupid.

Lethality on his quest to have geelong play 22 away games every year. 13 is just not enough. keep it in your head. Its delusional.

Danger 8 all australians. Pendlebury only 6. how does that fit with the pendlebury has longevity story?

How did geelong make the grand final in 2019 without its home ground advantage?

AFL MVP. Oh wait danger has that too. Not pendlebury. all australians, pendlebury 6. Dangerfield 8. wait, isnt pendlebury the one who is supposed to have longevity. Why does danger have more all australians?

Pendleburys peak was lower. At no point has pendlebury ever been the best player in the comp. Nor even the second best. Dangerfield was in the best 2 players in the comp for about 4 seasons.

Yep better then dermie. but not at the same level as Lockett, Ablett and Carey.

Yep theyre huge jumps. He totally is getting off the ground there. Totally refutes my point.

Awesome. Here we go. Extremely rare footage of piggy jumping. Let’s see them.

Lol that’s really the best you could find?

Dermie could jump. dunstall could not.

No player symbolised the eighties more than dermie. A true character of the game who probably isn’t remembered as highly as he should be.

I like Piggy. I just don’t rate him as good as the others. but I probably still overrate him cos he played better against Geelong then he did against other teams. If I followed another team he didn’t do as well against i would probably rate him even less. best key fowards I have seen In order...

woukdnt that fact make me rate him better then he actually was?

Dunstall is behind all of Lockett, Ablett, Carey. there were genuine freaks of the game. dunstall was just a man. Who could not take a pack mark. He would be no champion in the modern game given how flooded defences are. probably just another Tom hawkins.
