Horce used to have kick-to-kick with Noah on his ark..Horace?
With that out of the way, would there have been odd circumstances with JB? Or are media commitments too high a priority?
He's watched Roman chariot races live as a young adult, so well within his memory.Horace?
Schwass was betterI'd have Stevo at 15-20.
Schwass was just as good.
Blight unlucky to not be top 3-5.
Aylett lucky to be in there at all considering he tried to ship us off to the Gold Coast.
It’s like splitting hairs after Carey. Clear number 1. What a time that was to be a North supporter. Intimidated everyone.
Arch top 15.
Glad to see Stevo get recognised. He was a warrior.
Stevo was a super player, courageous, tough but it’s a puzzling decision to have him top 10.
In my opinion he was behind Carey Schwass and Mckernan in that era. On par with Archer
I rate him about the same as Matty Larkin and have Jimmy Krakouer above both of them.
And then outside of Carey, Cable has all that I’ve mentioned covered.
Longevity, sustained excellence, individual honours and premierships. Stevo has them all covered. Not by much, but he deserves to be ahead.

Needs to keep paying the ex misses he has still got kids under 18 to feeds and said on Friday on Triple m couldn't make it due to calling commitmentsWith that out of the way, would there have been odd circumstances with JB? Or are media commitments too high a priority?
Yep. In the 60s when North didn't win many games. But it wasn't Aylett's fault. One of the best rovers in his time.you seen aylett play?
Just want to share this story about Les Foote, it was the day before the 1999 grand final, I was a young bloke working in the city and had my North Melbourne scarf on. A old man walked up to me and said “ you support the right team son”.
He asked me questions about how long I had barracked for North, favourite players at the club etc. I told him it started with Malcom Blight, then the Krakouer brothers to the 90s stars of that day and I bleed blue and white.
He asked if I had ever heard of Les Foote. I said I know he is a club legend and held in high regard. He told me Les was good in his day, how special it was to barrack for North and what it meant to be a Shinboner, also said he hated * and he was very happy where Denis and Carey had taken the club.
He gave me a firm handshake and we both said “ GO North” for the big one the following day.
20 minuets later he was back with a North Melbourne hat and a A4 black and white picture of himself in his prime, in his North Melbourne jumper kicking a footy, it was Les Foote. He signed it and said he had to come back because he could see how much I loved the North Melbourne football club.
Les Foote didn’t have to give me the time of day, but he did, the club meant so much to him, I never saw him play but from that day forward he was one of the greatest shinboners to ever put on the blue and white for me. It is a person like this that makes the North Melbourne football club so special.
Thoroughly deserves to be in the top 10 players of our footy club.
I can’t speak highly enough of that man, when he left, l just kept shaking my head, thinking what a f##ing almighty club......One of the best tales I have read here in 17 years of posting

Some great speeches.
That goal from Carey on the run against Geelong is one of my favourite clips. He wants them to come at him afterwards - almost daring them to get in his face. That's Wayne Carey to me, supremely talented - and with extreme physicality to back it up. As a club built around "us vs them" Carey is the obvious choice for #1. That's the way he played and lived. As a kid in the 80's and early 90's my memories of Carey are of him playing with 3 blokes hanging off him all game.
I like the mark against Melbourne where Blighty commentates "where's Carey? there is is, ahaha" so matter of factly. Sums up his performance that night.
1996 against Melbourne. I've never seen a more completely and utterly dominated game. The look on Neitz's face afterwards was like someone had told him he only had a week to live.
