Based on pure talent and more than a season or two in the middle
Matthews
Jarman
Platten
Mitchell
Crawford (went down a place only because of his few off years. He was brilliant when he was on)
Hodge
Bertie
Pritchard (way more talented than you would immediately think, and cut down in his prime by a broken leg)
Tuck (would feel bad leaving him out, though can see arguments for the three below based on ability not durability)
Apologies
Condon
Burgoyne
Allan
I'm likely biassed on the last two, but Condon's best was insanely good. Big, tall, strong bodied mid with pace... again cut down by injury in his prime. Allan was something else, super strong in the contest with a booming kick and high level ball winning ability. Super classy player.
