As everyone in Australia knows, utilities are now almost becoming a commodity rather than a necessity as cost of living increases. So I thought we should take a look at some of the best utilities we’ve had grace the football field in the last 25 years.
The two that come to mind are Adam Goodes and Matthew Pavlich
. Both are absolute greats/legends and could go into any position on the ground and play elite football.
Is there anyone else I might’ve missed from the last 25 years that has now retired?
At the moment, the only utility that comes to mind is Mark Blicavs
- not quite in the same breath as Goodes and Pav, but the most complete utility in the game at present.
There are dual position players like Ziebell (mid/def), Bont and practically every team has a 2nd ruck that plays forward too, but Blicavs is a more accurate definition of a utility.
Who else is there?
Also, whilst I’ve got you, how do I bring my gas bill down from $24,000?
