It's whatever you want it to be. Today is all about you.Is this a contest?
Nobody can beat Israel Folau
Wtf even was that? Did that actually happen?
Arnold Briedis, played in 5 (6 including the draw) straight grand finals between the ages of 19 and 23.
Good mrs aswelOnly 25 games into his career, but Hugh Greenwood is another.
Played college basketball, just missed out on a spot in the Rio Olympic Boomers squad and Signed a multi year deal with the Perth Wildcats. Viewed as having the potential to play top Europe leagues/Boomers/possibly NBA. Walked out on the Wildcats weeks after signing his multi year contract. Threw it all away to go onto the Crows rookie list. After a couple of years in the SANFL got named co-captain of Adelaides SANFL side. Made his AFL debut last year and turning into a pretty solid footballer.
As a basketball fan and Wildcats member i thought it was a pretty foolish decision at the time, but glad to see he looks like he'll have a pretty decent footy career.
I think its a pretty weird footy path because he was entering his basketball prime with still a lot of potential to make top leagues. A lot of sport converts seems to take up footy when it seems they won't get far in their chosen sport, but that wasn't really the case with Greenwood.
I think Folau and Hunt showed you cant develop as an adult focused on a game requiring strength and explosive speed, and make it in a game requiring endurance and physical flexibility as well.Hard to beat this. I actually went to a game he played. He had 1 posession up to half time and was subbed out for the second half. The stupid thing is, if he really wanted to he could have made it, given his athletic ability and body.
Troy Wilson got picked up at age 28, became a West Coast cult figure, got cut, became a race car driver. Living the testosterone dream.
Dale Kickett made his way around five clubs before finding his place and becoming a very handy player & pugilist.
That isnt weird. Just a s**t playerMajak Daw.
Got found out tactically as a forward, doesn't have the tank to play ruck, and now at 27 years of age and with 9 years on the list he is "learning" to play as a second up pick off defender.

Like Goddard, you may have a point.Goddard.
Was going to be or first pick in draft in early 2000's.
Within a day or so of draft, AFL take our draft picks off us for previous salary cap breach.
So we lose Goddard and Wells.
Goddard Mum screams out in anger when he drafted by Saints. He stars in a drawn grand final.
They fail to win replay.
He becomes the first player in AFL free agency to move clubs.
He goes to the club that ends up with massive amounts of players suspended by WADA.
Two of biggest controversies affect him at both ends of his career.
Plays in drawn grand final in between all that and first player in league history to move under free agency with his club not matching bid of a new club.
Weird stuff. Very unique circumstances of a career like no other.
