Biggest name at each Club

[citizen-erased]

I think Daniher for us.
Reynolds, Coleman, Hird & Merrett all deserving too.
I'd rate the Sheedy name with us too. 4 flags and 27 years of service as a coach. As big at essendon as Norm Smith or Jock McHale and Melbourne and Collingwood respectively.
I'm disappointed we didn't work his name into the renaming of the tullamarine facilities.
Sheedy's Hangar would have been a nice tip to him.

Crows: Weidemann
Brisbane: Fevola
Carlton: Bootsma
Collingwood: Bourke
Essendon: Dank
The rest could not give a rats, you know what.

For WCE its Worsfold. Dual premiership captain and premiership coach. Involved in 5 out of 6 of our grand final appearance and the club b&f was named after him.

Also set the standard in relation to hardness and what was required to be successful. Not in the clubs 10 best ever players however John Worsfold is easily the name that stands above all others for us.

So much this, people saying Cousins or Jakovich severely under rate Worsfolds impact at the club as player and coach.

 

[Dynamics]

Richards, McHale, Shaw, Coventry, Rose, Collier, Buckley, Brown, Daicos, McGuire are the mix that spring to mind. Greening and Millane both great players who met with tragic circumstances. Regan a legend but from so long ago that he's not as well known as he should be.

I would say McHale.

261 games and a premiership as a player.

714 games and 8 more premierships, including a 4-peat, as player/coach then coach.

About as legendary as one man can get.

[mattymac]

Roo.

Best player. Brownlow. Came back to run the club and took us from the Sando quagmire to contenders despite an ordinary list with no top 10 picks. Will soon fill half the squad with father-sons.

 

[Pykie]

Barassi could arguably be the biggest name at 3 clubs.

 

[carnthedons]

Leigh Wardell-Johnson at Freo probably, 19 letters.

For Port it is Powell-Pepper with 12 letters.

Pfft. Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti or GTFO

On topic Reynolds, Coleman, Hird, Daniher and Watson the most important.

Think I’d have to give it to Daniher though. Neale, TD, Tony, Chris, Joe (& Darcy) is a fairly handy group of players from one family at a club.

 

[SideysBottom]

In 10 years time Daicos will be the biggest name at Collingwood bar none... Peter was a star, but you have got Josh and Nick coming through who could be very good players, the latter is said to be a future top five pick in the draft, and Josh can play inside/outside mid and kicks dual-sided.

Western Bulldogs: Bob Murphy

Collingwood, Geelong, Richmond.............................Balme

Why Collingwood ?

Definitely agree that Woosha is the biggest name in the club. Not sure he is in the best 25 players but purely as a stand alone skipper he would be in the team.

 

[donkeypunchd]

Robbie Flower for us, carried the clu bthrough a decade as grim as the beginning of this one and was a genuine gun of the competition.

RDB by a distance. As good as Flower was, Barassi is as big a name as there has ever been. Certainly in Victoria. Stynes would be another candidate.

 

[freddy mercury]

Just ask him

This is the same Robert Murphy that made the 2016 grand final victory all about him when he didn’t even play?

Imagine if everyone on the planet was as witty as you. You still in primary school?

 

[blitzer]

I'd have Sheedy as the biggest name at Essendon.
Daniher, Fletcher, Watson, Hird, Coleman and Reynolds names are all huge as well but Sheedy was such a public and visible figure for such a long and successful period of time.

[GiantsTragic]

As a new club I get we're hard to judge. Sheedy probably a good call but he's best known as a Bomber. I'd suggest Mummy.

Bell??? That backstabber shouldn't even be on the board.

Thought he was a lege down your end of stirling highway
