Dean Brogan would be in that 12-25mark.

174 games for Port (12th most overall) 2004 premiership player, showdown medalist.

Carried the ruck when Primus went down in 2004. Was probably under rated a little considering he actually played basketball for the 36ers first.

Controversial maybe, but is Chornes a little overrated? Couldn't kick straight up forward so got moved down back and couldn't defend when the opposition attacked through his opponent. Would it bit fair to say he made his name in the years he was allowed to be the loose man in defense?
Can you really award top 15 to a player playing that role?

AA CHB in '04. AA midfielder in '07. He was patchy at the start and end of his career but was a supreme footballer in that '04-'07 period.

Chad Cornes at his best was 4 times the footballer Kane ever was.

Kane spent 50% of his career seagulling touches and kicking 9 irons.

thanks for the feedbacks guys. Heres what Im working with (in order):

1. Tredrea
2. Wanganeen
3. R. Gray
4. K Cornes
5. C Cornes
6. Primus
7. Lade
8. Francou
9. P Burgoyne
10. Wakelin
11. Boak
12. S Burgoyne
13 M Wilson
14 Dew
15 Schulz

Most Stiff are Westhoff, Cassisi, and Carr. Is this too outrageous??
This is obviously not including John Butcher at 1 because that goes without saying.
You should find a spot for Roger James. Without him we're still looking for our first afl flag

As title reads. Im making a list of top 15 players of the AFL era for Port Adelaide and need help. Port fans, who are your top 15, completely disregarding their performances prior to AFL era?
Do we also disregard their performances prior to being at Port or after leaving Port? or if they were on Ports list then its all good for their whole career?

Darren Mead is arguably the best CHB the Power has ever had, 122 games - likely would have been 200+ if Port were in the AFL a few years earlier and our inaugural John Cahill medallist.

Needs to be in the discussion!
I had Wakelin as our best KPD in the AFL. Mead was great one on one but not great at rebounding off of half back, if memory serves, so just holds him back. Definitely in the discussion though.

Why is everyone listing Shaun Burgoyne? Assuming we're not including his Hawthorn achievements, he's nowhere near it.
Lade to Junior Burger was iconic. He was our leading midfielder and there was his smother in '04. Memories fade so maybe those moments stick out a bit more and, to be honest, i thought he was a better player at Port than Hawthorn but that may be a bit of selective memory.
