Should have been AA the year Hibberd was IMO.
Opinion Where do Gawn, Petracca, and Oliver rank in our all-time greats?

Aaron would be Flower's adopted poor nephew.
Flower could handball either hand, on the move, whist dodging traffic, and then blind-turn and snap the goal from the boundary.
Handball either hand at 100%
Kick off either foot at 100%
Bounce the ball on the run with either hand. And was one of the best, most reliable kicks you would ever want to see.

The Ox at his best, was the only player who you would consider near equal to Flower.
dont forget Wattys.

Pretty sure reading this board that Oliver is a stat padding turn over merchant, Trac is meh and hasn't Gawn retired
Oh yeah and sack Goodwin, can't coach
Pretty much sums up MFC board 2023

Where does Darren Burgess rank in our all time greats?

Reckon they were super close but Whelan did those awesome rugby tackles where he'd clamp the top of a guys legs and just ******* tip them and murder them. Would be 4 weeks a piece these days.

Confirmed ITK Drafting King
Would have been de registered for his hits on Ball and Hird. Ball especially because of the way he looked after it

That’s because there aren’t many star ruckman over the years. Plenty of star forwards. Easier to be a star FF than a star ruckman

Chandler below Dan Nicholson is just plain rude, JK. When Nicholson kicked the ball, it felt like he was LARPing his own version of Black Hawk Down, such was the horizontal rotation of the thing.
Good effort, however. Defies belief that there is an argument for five players being worse than Tom G*****s over the last 30 years though. Genuinely felt like we plucked a guy from the cheer squad as a sort of matchday marketing initiative when we played him.

I was expecting that list to stop at 10, then 20 , then I said there is no way Johnny went beyond 50...but then I just kept scrolling and scrolling

BIG TIME.
I've been thinking about this. Really enjoyed the last one, and in hindsight would have made many selections differently. Very many player in the current generation would also seem more appealing.

All 3 are easily in the 22 if you were to select the best ever side of MFC players past & present.
Stynes and Gawn would be an interesting ruck combination.
