I remember Brad Rowe was the boom recruit we were all excited about at the time. A bit of a cult figure.
Yes, had the hair, but that was about it!

We all have different views but I agree with you Buckley is a long way ahead of Pants. I would have Pants as 4th best of the 1990 grooup after Daics, Brown and Shaw. If he had have had a full career i reckon it would have been at the Dipper level which is pretty good.
My best 5 ever in order
Lethal (loved watching him and Plugger)
Hudson
Carey
Lockett
Dunstall
(GAS the most electrifying)
The 5 silk, non Collingwood (so no Daics) any order
Peter Matera
Chris Judd WCE
GAJ
Andrew McLeod
Tony Modra
The 5 if onlys
John Greening
Phil Carmen

Player I most enjoyed watching

Gavin Brown adulthood
Daics for magic
You have named some great players that has shrunk my list so other than the ones named.I wonder if any one is gutsy to name their best five NON Collingwood players they’ve seen?
For me:
Best players to just watch play football; the pure silk department types:
- Leigh Matthews
- Malcolm Blight
- Anthony Lockett
- Gary Ablett snr
- Wayne Carey
NB: I just lo Ed watching Leigh Matthews But he was a brute, so he’s my all time favourite to watch but not for silk value. So should really be top 6 then if counting Lethal. I’m very tempted to also say Daniel Wells but he’s not quite the levels of the top brass, but he was so amazing to watch from the pure joy side.
If he wasn’t at Carlton I’d say I’d love watching Bruce Doull but he was so I won’t.
- Keith Greig
- Malcolm Blight
- Robert Flower
- Peter Knights
- Bernie Quinlan (kicking)
Loved your post.You have named some great players that has shrunk my list so other than the ones named.
Robbie Flower
Gavin Wangedeen
Maurice Rioli
Wayne Harmes
Michael Voss
He was a good player.True Saintly Viewed that umpire needed spec savers dammit,
But other than that he was a great kick and mark.
He was a good player.
Re the umpire, I’ve never known had he had the funds to pay for his re-entry and Harmes re-entry back into the MCG that grand final day.
Back when I was working an old job I had to order plastic bottles and the person I had to speak to was Harmes working for VISY... he was the sales rep... the Harmes incident is before my time but I knew about it. I would have been chuffed to be dealing with any other gun ex player but with him it was like mate **** you... even though he was nice enough on the phone and came and visited me as part of work but it was always in the back of my mind this prick cost us a Grand Final against Carlton so I wasn't in the mood for chit chat and never even let him know I knew who he was lol. Talking footy was out of bounds with him.
