The Best Player!

[carlos' roos]

Instead of comparing players, could i get everyone to just tell me in your opinion: who is the best player on their day at your club? No mine is better than yours , just your opinion and why you think that.

For the kangas i'd say Brent Harvey. On his day is just a prolific ball winner and capable of kicking 4 to 5 goals whilst doing it. Testament to 2002 and 2003 when he polled 13+ brownlow votes both years.

 

[Blues_Man]

Koutafides for mine ..on his day he is unstoppable and can win a game off his own boot (as he has shown in the past)
pre- knee surgery he was far more imposing though

 

[Eagles4Ever]

On his day Gardiner in the ruck is something special to watch, and so long as the players around him put in an honest effort, he alone can dominate a game.

 

[Firrito24]

Shannon Grant

For us it would be Richo or Browny, they can both win a match for us off their own boot.

I will admit i saw 2 years ago on t.v when the eagles beat the lions by 50 odd points gardiner dominated. He got 3 brownlow votes. Won every tap, took marks around the ground and kicked two goals i think. I rang a mate who i chat footy with in bendigo at the time and urged him to turn the tele on just to make sure i wasn't dreaming. It was at subi, kerr got a fair bit of it that day too.

Big Red. Just look at his AA year where he kicked 70+ goals and took the most marks in the comp.

Scarlo, then Ling, then Daylight

Scarlo, then Ling, then Daylight

So what you are saying that after these two the rest of your players are usless hacks even on their best day?

Harley and Ablett arent bad players or are they?

 

[UNIT]

Gardy is the most important player in terms of our midfield feeding off of him, and are fwd structure working a lot better with him, but in terms of who is the 'best' player...hands down its Chris Judd.

There's a gap back to King, Harley, Ablett, Bartel, Kelly, Ottens... that'll change if King stays injury free and the others keep developing.

 

[Farrand]

When Pav really gets going, he can tear teams apart. I.e. Against the Roos in 2003 (Round 19 I think).
Apart from that Bell always gives his best, racks up possessions etc.

 

[Lockyer24]

When Tazza has those 5 goal 19 mark games we never lose.

 

[iameviljez]

Really? Well, when Henry Playfair takes more than 20 possessions, we have NEVER LOST!!!

 

[Thewlis Dish]

We have never lost when Joel Perry is playing seniors.

Gardiner is our best player.
He basically get's nearly the same possesions plus many more contested marks while getting 40 hitouts straight down midfielders throats.

 

[UNIT]

You honestly think Gardy has more god given skill then Juddy? Gardy is a champion too...but Judd is just a once in a generation talent we should bow down and be grateful to have at the footy club.

 

[VANDA]

Hird.
Perfection in motion.

 

[garth p]

Robert Harvey.

 

[Stakerz]

Tarrant.

 

[waspy]

Can't go past Hird for his courage and leadership...he can do some amazing things on the footy field and turn games. Then again, if Lloyd has a day out and kicks 8+ goals, we would be tough to beat.

edit: i just realised this is my 500th post! woohoo!

This is a best player thread not a most skillful player thread.

 

[pies75]

Tarrant.

Only when the fool learns to kick straight. bucks, followed by burnsy, then shane o'bree

 

[Ten Ton Hammer]

Goodes on his day is our best player!

But then again everytime Hall kicks 5 or more we basically win every game.
