Hird then Reynolds... obviously most are saying reynolds on all his accolades as many would not have seen anything of him.
Choosing Rioli at two is a strange one. His class and skills were great however his problems with degenerative knees weren't helped by his weight problems and this is what cut a decent career short... very Whitnall.
I can appreciate people rating Madden ahead of Hird (and Watson, Daniher, Lloyd etc for that matter), but by a mile?
Simon Madden.
By a mile.
Longy, unfortunately not enough of Madden`s career was caught on film, particularly his early years, you are right, by a mile is probably stretching things, but he`s clearly the best I`ve seen. One thing that annoys me about Watson is the way he constantly plays his career down, if you listened to him you would be convinced he was a hack.
Jesus you love Simon don't cha?
Every time one of these threads pops up u rate Madden ahead of everyone.
But as I've said before to you many times...he comes close.
If I take out Hird and stick to players I've seen in real life, its a group that is hard to rank from 1 to whatever...so mine are..
Watson
Madden
Mercuri
Long
Fletcher
Lloydy
TD
Wanganeen
and Leon Baker was pretty good too.
hirds over rated
i cant decide between Ben Doolan and Todd Delany
