Deisel just found the ball and used it so well , And i agree was probably the most influential midfielder of that era. Good callDiesel is the best player I've seen play for Carlton full stop. SOS is number 2
Was just think this too. Should be up there with Carey and J Brown as one of th best CHF of his generation.I feel like Tredrea isn’t acknowledged enough for his career, especially his season in 2004 when port won the flag. Bloke was a genuine freak and could’ve quite deservedly won the Brownlow.
Dane Swan in 2011I know I am drawing a blank, but who was the brownlow medallist?

Obviously the more recent teams have a smaller sample and I have tried in the most part to keep it to players were there is video footage available.
I need to know more about thisNathan Burke doesn't get mentioned because he helped his ceo mate at the company callactive scam workers out of owed pay after blatantly underpaying them.
He actually called up the workers and attempted to use his status to swindle them out of being compensated. CEO went "bankrupt", workers left uncompensated, while last I heard ceo hides in his mansion behind all his luxury cars (literally).
Milne and a couple of other flogs would also rock up in the staff carparks sometimes and take their shirts off hoping to pickup at lunch time lol.

Gary Dempsey, beast.
Well when he rang up we got the impression he was trying to facilitate perhaps a meet and handshake under the understanding we didn't take it further. We think. He may have just been trying to talk us out of it, but we just ignored him in a polite manner, thanked him politely over and over and kept having to tell him we'll be taking it further. Then he eventually conceded and hung up. Then the prick ceo to escape paying out his workers declared bankruptcy. Not sure how bankruptcy works but he shorted something between 50-200 people over thousands each in pay, and managed to keep his 8 million mansion (pre boom) and maserati type cars. No one ended up getting anything back that was the end of it.
The company was callactive not sure of the ceo's name but Nathan Burke seemed very invested. He was very polite of course covering for his mate. We felt like asbestos victims receiving a call from Julie Bishop! Just your typical story of the despicable privileged attempting to use their status to steal from those making a lot lot less.

that actually seems like it, or the version for the public, it's paywalled so I can't read it.
Crawford. If it wasn't for the footy show, I doubt anyone would even remember him
He suffers a bit from comparison with Hird, Buckley, Voss, Harvey...and an era of champion mids......(oh, and Woewodin)
Crawford was elite in one aspect of the game. Endurance.
That puts him up there with Steven Greene, Tom Scully, Blicavs, Hartung.... talk about damning someone with faint praise.
I’ll leave Presti out of it because obviously as a Pies supporter I’m probably not in a position to be unbiased but I see no issue with any of the other names he raises, and all three of the Saints in particular were much better than “good-average “ playersTurn it up - I thought this was about past champions not past good-average footballers.

Nah Crawf was pretty good he would still stand out. His prime was very good. Nabbed a brownlow against very tough opposition.He stood out in that era, along with Robert Harvey (who also had another elite trait, evasion/lateral movement).
Nowadays, every side would have 6-10 players capable of similar endurance. Crawf wouldn't stand out. Harvey still would.
And Garry Wilson was just a champ. Everyone raves about Matthews as the best ever, but Wilson wasn’t really all that far behind him IMO and he never even gets a mention these days.
Kudos.
Wilson was a BETTER pure rover than Leigh Matthews. So were a couple of others.
The great trait that separates Matthews was his ability to go forward and basically become an elite quasi full forward.
Agreed. Forward craft is what separates Matthews from his roving peers. Wilson was still a very handy resting rover, but a whisp of a fellow. Matthews could exert his nuggety frame on the contest and was as dangerous up forward as he was roving. Still, I can’t think of the last time I heard Wilson mentioned in the media. Decades?
