It's always hard to not pick a player from the club you support. But for me I can hand on heart say Lockett is the best player I have seen.
Watched fantastic footy flashbacks on Sunday, Saints vs Carlton 1989. Saints won by 2 points with a last minute goal - kicked by Plugger to make t 10.6 he kicked in a score of 13.12 on the fullback of the century. What was amazing was how the rest of the game was completely irrelevant. The only thing the crowd, the commentators the TV audience was watching was Lockett.
Best non - Saint I have seen - 4 absolute standouts for me were Peter Knights, Greg Williams, Leigh Matthews and Royce Hart. That is the best CHB ever, the best CHF ever, the best centreman ever and probably the second best player ever.
