Club History The Carlton GOAT - NOW VOTING!

[OnceWeWereKings]

I’m 52, seen a lot of them. Have my GOAT who’s still in the race.

Thought I would give the old man a call, all 84 years of him, still sharp as a tack.Watches every game.
Asked him who was the Carlton GOAT, the best there ever was?

He said without any hesitation. Big Nick.
He’s been the best.

Asked him why?
He said, he made us the best. He said, he made them fear us.

I had issues with the OP, but Jeremias was very clear......so I have gotten my head around it.

If you imagine the thread title is Best Carlton player you've seen, y'all will sleep a lot better.

Exactly. Personally I was surprised to see Nicholls pass the first round for that reason alone. He may have been the greatest player to ever play for our club, but that's not what this is about.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

This is bullshit. GOAT is an acronym for Greatest Of All Time.

Sorry to the OG's but i cant vote for someone i have not seen play... Nicholls, Southby and Jezza must of all been awesome.

or were they?

 

[Robertio]

I stand beside you Robbo, one for all and all for one.

I know where you live, and when i charge the battery in my mobility scooter i'm coming.

And how many did my favourite batsman Bradman make.

You dear sir, are spot on!

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Scratchy 186.

There are a million questions in exercises like this.

The only answer is to go with your own thought out interpretation, your own gut feel, and whack your own opinion out there for all to see.

Then Jeremias will count the votes, declare a winner and move on to the next round.

Diesel for me. Without the physical prowess of an Ablett he was equally as freakish in other ways. How common it was to see him tuck the ball under one arm while running forward pointing with other for how his teammates should be setting themselves up. He conjured goals. Would love to see his stats for score involvements.

Braddles played more games, but it's not Diesel's fault selectors let him go not once, but twice. Should have never been anything but a bagger.

My two cents re Judd over Big Nick ... that's just bollocks.

Can hear your electronic scooter being charged up from here. Just remember, do not drive it in the dirty western or northern suburbs, even if it is a direct line to where you need to track down Rosscoe.

Where's the Broady Boys when you really need them?

Diesel is just about the best blue I have seen play live. Guy was a genius with his vision and hands.

 

[BigFrizz36]

So let me get this right. Bradley and Williams (great players both) are still in and Nichols and Jezza are out? The world has clearly gone mad.

Nope, Braddles is gone too now.
But yeah, big Nick and Jezza are gone. The thread title is misleading.
Should be, of the players, I saw, whom is the best I saw play. Then would not be misleading.

Same deal with my father (90yo)
Big John ... no question !!
When asked what made Nick special, he said ... ask his opponents ...

Thy does not like this.
Where is Hunter ?
Certainly above Judd in my eyes.
Guess the year was 2014 so with Judd still playing, that currency of the NOW got him in ahead of him.

Where's the Broady Boys when you really need them?

In Eddie Maguire’s case, living in T’rak.

I don't think he was one of the ones I used to see paying a 'visit' to Coburg back in the 70s.
