see, this is why you can’t talk footy with an Essendon supporter. Prove me wrong please.

He was good enough to win a Brownlow at Carlton and could have easily won 2. I thought he was brilliant at Carlton without being quite as explosive as his WC days.

This thread should be shut down now.
its not even a comparison anymore, two years younger with two Norm smiths to zero and two premierships to zero
Who even cares what BigFooty’s opinion is.
dusty wins comfortably.

Ye Judd was only magical at the Eagles he got worn down pretty quickly at Carlton despite him winning a Brownlow, I felt he never reached those heights at the Blues. I wouldn't rate him anywhere near Gary Ablett Jr for example.

He did for ten minutes of the third quarter in the 2013 final against us.
I was sitting there in the Ponsford stand next to the carlton cheer squad I’ll never forget it. It was a stinger to lose but you had to applaud the guy. Him and Duigan...bloody Duigan.
You can cop a guy like Judd tearing you apart
But Nick ******* Duigan
Im 54 years old and of the opinion that in 5-6 years time when Dusty is close to the end he would have passed all of the above
He very well could be in the discussion of the best 10 players ever to have played the game by the time he is finished
Oh no don't start him up again

I'm 71 y.o., and I can already say that in 65 years of watching VFL/AFL footy, I've never seen a player quite like Martin. His combination of awesome brute strength and inimitable skills under pressure have never been surpassed, in my not so humble opinion. This is not to say he's the best player I've seen (plenty of time left for that), just that he's unique.
Having not seen a game in the flesh for three years (for medical reasons), to watch his performance in the last H&A game against Brissie was just the tonic I needed. He can make the lame walk,
What a player!

I've listened to radio replays of the prelim and it was amazing how much the game changed after half time.
Does anyone know if Dangerfield was injured and/or carrying something?

Personal opinion, as are all of these, but I'd put him on the same level as Bartlett, just below Hart. Bartlett was a shifty little bugger, who used to sneak up on the opposition, without them quite realising it. Before you'd know it he'd have thirty possies and kicked five goals. The opposition supporters would be reduced to saying, "Who's on that little bastard?" In contrast, Martin takes the game on, and announces himself boldly, "Here I am boys. Stop me if you can."
There has only ever been one Royce Hart. Another unique one. It's not as if there are any other contenders for the best CHF ever.
Edit: It surprises me how often Ian Stewart's claims are ignored in such discussions. Brave to the point of recklessness.

I dont think you can say this player is the best you have seen as their are many types of players in many different positions like how can you compare
Franklin/Dusty
Rance/Judd
Lockett/Skilton
But the best way to actually rate them is the position they play and the overall impact they have to their teams success and how they impact games and times where their teams need them to and thats why i have Dusty ahead of Danger due to both being midfielders but that doesnt for 1 minute take away from dangerfield being a champion
Why not

I was disappointed with Dangerfield when the game was there to be won in the first 15 mins of qtr 3. Dangerfield had the better game statistically, but when the game was on the line, Dusty stood up. That goal roving the Jack tap and the goal he set up ripping the ball out of his opponents hands was phenomenal. Danger had one touch in the third quarter up to that point.
Dangerfield and Martin are the number 1 & 2 players in the competition for score involvements. They both average a bit over 7 per game.
In the prelim, Martin had 9, Dangerfield had 3.
Richmond had just 4 more scores than Geelong that night.
Did you not read the pages and pages of drivel? Guy thinks Martin was average in the grand final. Has said hundreds of players have had a better season than dusty in 2017.
It’s not worth the energy.
