FB:Murphy Roos McPharlin

C:Harvey Buckley Richardson
HF:Johnson Nroo Pavlich

Fol:Sandilands Dangerfield fyfe

Once again Kouta played in the 1995 flag.

 

[Catsnlakers]

Ablett Snr. Lockett. Buckley. Skilton. McKenna. Quinlan. Dangerfield. Harvey. Flower & Wilson.

 

[Post padding]

Thread needs more Bobby Skilton

People that don’t mention Bob Skilton in this topic don’t know football that well

 

[Trav 20]

Thread needs more Bobby Skilton

Skilton is just about the first picked.

 

[Shadow89]

Kouta was just about B.O.G in the 1995 flag.

Oops! Cheers for that - honestly loved him as a player and thought he hadn't won one, but obviously wrong. Probably blocked out 95 haha

 

[Shadow89]

Why do people think Kouta and B Harvey weren't premiership-winning players? Strange

Yep definitely got Kouta wrong - was only 6 when we lost that flag and I blocked it out for obvious reasons, haha.

 

[Shadow89]

Dangerfield
Boomer Harvey

Boomer was in the 99 flag (I originally thought otherwise too, haha)

 

[11kgm]

Boomer was in the 99 flag (I originally thought otherwise too, haha)

really how old is he

 

[JackFlash]

Ablett Snr. Lockett. Buckley. Skilton. McKenna. Quinlan. Dangerfield. Harvey. Flower & Wilson.

This one looks on the money, perhaps Len Thompson, Graham Moss, Gary Hocking, Paul Couch? Tony Modra is the hard luck story, he made Adelaide in the 1990s and is flag-less?

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

really how old is he

He's 43 now, retired at 38. Career 1996-2016, only played one game in 1996 and it wasn't the GF.

 

[Coastal Lion]

Kevin Bulldog Murray.

 

[11kgm]

He's 43 now, retired at 38. Career 1996-2016, only played one game in 1996 and it wasn't the GF.

oh so he counts brilliant

 

[hilly]

The 1999 GF was B.Harvey's 64th game.

Ablett and Plugger top two of those I've seen.

 

[Kwality]

How could I leave out Robbie Flower, what a player!

Superboot and Billy also, one of the great players in those 3 (4) GF appearances. Paul Roos and Barry Round (Charlie winner) too.

Not so certain on the hulk, Micky Turner (super fast!) or Hawkins though.

If you are going back, triple Brownlow Bob Skilton (South Melbourne) & Haydn Bunton Snr with 3x Brownlows at Fitzroy & 3x Sandovers at Subi.
When Skilts (aka Chimp) is mentioned I think of Allen Aylett (Allen Aylett - Wikipedia).

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Sorry that was misleading. He played in the 99 GF.

I definitely considered Couchy & Buddha, but I didn’t want to be too Geelong centric. Len Thompson & Graham Moss were certainly in the reckoning, even Matty Richardson was too...And yep Modra went flag-less, did his knee in 97’ & was overlooked in 98’.

Bit of a fun thread, current and past:

Just of the top of my head, as a young 51 yo.

1. Obviously Gas (for me)
2. Rooey (Nick Reiwoldt)
3. Nathan Buckley
4. Lenny Hayes
5. Nat Fyfe
6. Peter Moore
7. Ricky Barham
8. Gary Wilson
9. Carl Ditterich
10. Peter McKenna

I literally just put this out at in a moment. Not even sure the order is right.

Post yours.

1. Gary Ablett senior.
2. Bob Skilton.
3. Haydn Bunton.
4. Tony Lockett.
5. Garry Wilson.
6. Kevin Murray.
7. Matthew Richardson.
8. Bernie Quinlan.
9. Peter McKenna.
10. Robert Flower.

I'd have Hocking in contention, wouldn't have Couch. To me Hocking was clearly the better player.

 

[greekstyler]

Robert Harvey immediately comes to mind. Dual Brownlow medallist, had his chance in 97 then retired just before the Saints dominance in 09-10. They probably win one of those flags if he was in the side.

 

[Sky]

Dangerfield
Boomer Harvey

1999 i think you meant robert

Mossy captain/ coached Claremont to a flag in 1981: Graham Moss - Wikipedia

That's a cracking list, although I'd have Flower ahead of a few of those.

I'd also sneak Nathan Buckley into the ten.

Playing in a GF & losing could be different list.
