Game Day Best player in history

What’s the best player in history?

I am not sure this is a debate we can have because if you pick any player from the 80's or earlier then the game has changed too much to make a proper comparison between modern players and players back then.

Possibly.

Is he still getting a game at Port ?

Essendon’s Ken Hall has to be in the mix

The career stats speak for themselves

As you asked 'what' rather than 'who', I nominate this pigeon. Excellently saved a goal.

Watts, the best player in history?

Obviously talking about our Lord and Savour, and Port Adelaide legend.

Does that reflect your experience personally, the period you've watched the game.

I spent the 10+ years of my footy experience along side my father, long gone now, but was at the game into the 1990s & Haydn Bunton Snr was his choice, my pick is Polly & most of the games I saw Polly play was with Dad, so was Bunt better than Polly?
Clearly Bunton is one of the best credentialled candidates for the best ever, but you'd be a bit long in the tooth if you ever saw him play.
