We Exist To Win Premierships
I remember going to a roos vs blues game at princess park and the crowd yelling dominator for johnston, elevator for madden and masturbator for doritich.
I was too young to know what all that meant but the dominator did stand out from the pack

The Legend status is a AFL marketing wank. Completely unnecessary category. Who the bloody hell has the right to say player X is just inside the top 10% but player Y is only in the 11-12%???
Maurice Rioli has to be inducted next year - no ifs or butts any more - under the Barry Cable inspired move.
1980 WAFL GF his team South Feo win - He wins the Simpson medal for BOG
1981 WAFL GF his team loses the GF - He wins the Simpson medal for BOG
1982 VFL GF his team Richmond losses the GF - He wins the Norm Smith medal for BOG
Who in the history of Australian Football at the highest state league level before we had a true national comp, has a record like that in Grand Finals?
168 games for South Freo
118 games for Richmond inc B&F first 2 years at Richmond
3 All Oz selections from carnivals
State of Origin games for WA and NT
As good a mid fielder as has ever played the game. Should have been inducted years ago, before he passed away.

Maurice Rioli is an obvious one.
Anyone who has 1000 career goals in a major league should be in.

Adelaide Crows bias aside, Malcom Blight would be a worthy legend. His accolades as a player alone are phemonominal:

St. Kilda bias aside, it's incredible to think neither Trevor Barker, Stewart Loewe or Nathan Burke are in the hall of fame. Especially considering some of the players who have been inducted in recent years.
John Worsfold's impact of the game has been huge and very worthy of being in the HOF.
Geez those performances are woeful. And they want him as a legend?
Brereton and sheedy definitely should not be legends. Media work and promoting the game isn't a part of the criteria for legend. ablett and Carey should be next in as legends as they are without question. Then we have dunstall and Judd who will be borderline legends. By the time all of them are done we have Garry Ablett junior and possibly buddy if he keeps going at his current level for another 3 years.
To be honest, those career awards aren't all that impressive when we are talking about legend status. Definitely needed his coaching career to push him over the line.
