Well the answer is Dale Kickett but keep it quiet would you?

Possibly the most humble bloke I've ever met who played the game.

Why are people saying michael walters is our greatest indigenous player ever. Antoni grover, michael johnson and stephen hill have all played 200. whilst I reckon he faces stiff competition from dale kickett, roger hayden and jeff farmer.

Personally I believe its a toss up between hill and johnson.

Walters the only All Australian in that bunch. Won't be long until he's played 200+ either (touch wood)

*edit forgot MJ in 2013. Would still pick Walters though

I know he hasn't played a game yet but you just get the feeling that Henry will put an end to this conversation once and for all.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor kid.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor kid.

Because he plays for us?

Sorry. Really pessimistic at the moment.

we’re one over eager David King comment away from him being declared potential to be the GOAT

Recency bias?

There is no correct answer other than it is out of Kickett, Johnson and Walters. And that the answer is really Kickett yes.

McCarthy quits on Dockers
AFL: Cameron McCarthy has left the Fremantle Dockers club after not receiving a contract extension.
Cam McCarthy’s manager Colin Young says his client will lobby to be able to play for South Fremantle in the WAFL in coming weeks after reaching an agreement to move on from the Dockers.

And Young client Jason Carter is in a similar boat to McCarthy, potentially on the way to an early resolution that will see him move on from the club as early as next week.

McCarthy denied that ex-GWS forward McCarthy had quit the club, saying discussions over his future had been in the works for three weeks.


McCarthy is keen to play on somewhere else, but given lists might shrink next year that could be a challenge.

Young told Moneyball on Friday that when it was apparent his client wouldn’t be going into the club’s Cairns hub, the decision to move on was mutual.

“He is basically a victim of the virus. The club’s training groups were divided and he wasn’t in the main training group and it’s hard to get into it when you are not in it. Myself and his dad have been talking since a month ago about what happened if they took limited numbers into the hub.

“We had a discussion with the club in the last three weeks about whether he was in their long-term plans and could he be playing?

“He was brought to the club as a third forward and unfortunately has never had the chance to play that role for a long time in the side, so when the club said he wasn’t going into the hub we asked for an early answer on his contract. They said they wouldn’t offer him one, so we said we might as well get the deeds of settlement.”

Cam McCarthy has been released early from his Dockers contract.
Cam McCarthy has been released early from his Dockers contract.
“We are disappointed he hasn’t been given the opportunity to play forward over the long term, but I have spoken to the WA footy commission about him trying to seek an exemption. He is a South Fremantle player so he would like to play for South Fremantle immediately. He would have just been sitting there at the club, not in the hub, and basically been running laps, so what would he be training for?”

Carter was suspended by the club for drink-driving last weekend and, as a category B rookie, would be unlikely to win another deal.

A decision could be made on his future as early as next week after he was banished from the club until the end of the season.

He's not a victim of the virus.

I would have though Colin would have opened a WAFL rule book before advising his client to leave the club. I’d be pissed if I were Cam. Now he doesn’t even get to train with anyone. I’d be finding a new agent if I were him.

He can still train with them. It was just because of the integrity of the comp allowing mccarthy to play would add a big boost to sth freo in the final 4 games of the season.

Probably a fair call. His sublime talent epitomised the excitement of early Freo for me.

...and the decision to trade him for a dour journeyman epitomised the stupidity of early Freo.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Can't go past ol' Roger Hayden for mine. So consistently elite. Despite my avatar.

I don't think he is going to need an agent

 

[Farrand]

Dion Woods was a favourite of mine for a couple of years before his form fell apart. Koops as well.

 

[Lach72]

Roger Hayden was my absolute fave...

on pure class, I’d take Winnie...and for heart Troy Cook.

that bloke was one of the hardest bastards I’ve ever seen pull on boots. Loved him

 

[Sweetback]

I was in the year below Cooky at school. Nicest fella. He was in the same year as Daniel Chick, who was a massive pothead.

 

[gaskin]

Clem was as big of a 'what if' as Roger.

 

[Sweetback]

I’d nominate Roger Hayden too. Dude had the same soft bones as Alex Pearce though.
