If you could draft any player from history?

Coleman's stats were never documented.
Who knows what his highest marking tally ever was. Probably broke a record on that one too.

Gordan Coventry.

GA senior by the length of the Flemington straight. Downright freak.

Hodge or Selwood. For their playing ability, leadership and their positive off field influence on the culture at the clubs. Especially Selwood.

Ron Barassi.

The ultimate grunt midfielder.

 

[luciien]

Haydn Bunton. Be interesting to see just how good he would be.

He was my first thought too.

Peter Crimmins, John Greening, Peter Daicos, the dominator, Dan Minogue........ just off the top of my head.

It’s an absolute tragedy the both of them with those knees.

Just boggles the mind why the footy gods picked them to miss so much footy in their prime age.

Didnt really stop Huddo.. After doing his knee at the Hawks, he still kicked another 616 Goals for Glenorchy, even missing half his knee.

1721 Career Goals at all levels.... The Don Bradman of Aussie Rules.

Yeah I highly doubt knee surgery knowledge was at the cutting edge of technology in 1954.

Des Fothergill.
We would then have 2 Nick Daicos’ running amok.

 

[Osho]

Chris Mew
Or Paul Kelly
Or Wayne Carey,
depending on what was lacking.

Half his goals out the back scooping up the loose ball.
Coleman was a contested marking phenomenon.

A relative of mine who played for Carlton often spoke of him. Literally leaped over the top of shorter sized defenders.
Also a tough nut who copped some brutal hits by the opposition.

Geewizz ... that's a monster strawman you've made of one of the greatest goal kicking machines ever. I don't think there was a better body positioning player going for a mark, just instinctive footy IQ, and his kicking was phenomenal.

This despite being overweight, knockkneed, wide hipped, and running like a teenage girl.

Freak.

 

[Vdubs]

John Coleman
John Greening
Ablett senior
Koutoufides
I love the exceptional

McKenna was a better player than Hudson.

McKenna was a better player than Hudson.

Not even a better singer.
Should've heard Huddo screaming out the club song under doc's care at the infirmary, 1971.

 

[gungho]

Wayne Carey. You'd have to give him a pretty stern talking to early on about staying away from team mates girlfriends, gambling, drugs, excessive drinking and training standards. If he was ok with all of that - definitely Carey. The guy would still dominate now.
