The Eagles dont have a big 4, they are far more even than say the Tiges.
McGovern, Shuey, Gaff and Kennedy say hi.
But yes, they do spread the load more than many other sides.

It feels like you want to tell ne the Eagles won the flag last year and we didn't. I knew that already though.Great, then lets make it 27 or 28 then.
The point is how can you compare a player who has just entered their prime at 25 to a player who is 30 with a couple of flags, 4AA's, 3B&F's etc as they have played 3 or 5 years in their prime.
Not a fair comparison.
I agree to some extent, bit if you take out any teams four absolute best players, I dont think they remain a flag threat.Probably more proof they are the big 4, Richmond are a toothless tiger without these 4 at their best or unavailable. The other players who seemed good players go back to being very average without these 4 in the side.

If your argument is meant to be wait until careers are over then ok. It's just not the BF way.
I agree with that.Nothing to do with the Eagles at all.
Just making the point that comparing accomplished 30 year olds to 25 year olds who have shown plenty but are 100 + games behind isnt really that fair on the younger guys.
The other side to that is you cant say a player like J Kelly is better than say Selwood based on a couple of great years based on potential as that is also unfair.
Agreed it isnt the BF way though.

Stewart is better than both.Joel out. Blicavs in.
Not joking.
Not more important.Stewart is better than both.
I think Gresh is great but Geary has seasons of unrecognised form, and is super reiable asa manager backman. His mark in the Essendon game was huge.Hard to go past Richmond's. Also, how is Geary part of St. Kilda's? Gresham clearly in it.
Hardly big 4 material though. Gresham is a far better player.I think Gresh is great but Geary has seasons of unrecognised form, and is super reiable asa manager backman. His mark in the Essendon game was huge.
Lose Blicavs and there's still Henderson, Kolodjashnij and Taylor. Lose Stewart and there's not much rebound off half back and one who is also brilliant at ground level.Not more important.
Not even close.GWS easy.
Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Motorhead should be the real big 4 of metal, far more influential to metal than the big 4 of ThrashMetallica/Megadeth/Slayer/Anthrax is the definitive big 4.
But out of these lesser lights, probably a tossup between WC and Geelong. Some great players in there.
Constantly hearing about Richmond's 'big 4' has got me thinking - whose is best?
We never hear about any other team and their 'big 4', almost as if there isn't any other that exists.
It's actually quite impressive just how good the top 4 players are from each team.
You can definitely understand how difficult a win would be when 2-3 players of your 'Big 4' are injured (see Richmond).

Apologies if I have your teams best players out of whack, it is actually quite hard!

Yet on the same page there wouldn't have been a big 4 of Thrash if there wasn't the first 4 bandsHard to quantify. Wouldn’t have extreme metal without slayer or early thrash in general.
