Notice the high cut, long athletic calves. Long achilles tendon. Explosive potential.
It is strange. Don't knw if you were being sarcastic or not... but my fathers side of the family is indigenous and we all have the same calf/leg types, especially the males. I was at my local indigenous council a few years back meting the members and kid you not the one thing I remember from meeting them were the 'tell tale signs' that someone was indigenous. The ankles, knees and calf muscle shape. Dunno if theres any scientific truth to this but thought it was odd and kinda funny at the time. They were deadly serious too.

Indigenous have the same limb lengths and features that many Africans do. Advantageous to dissipate heat.

Southern Indian/Sri Lankan ethnic groups are very similar to Indigenous Australians.. This is why you'll often see Indians with long limbs and long, knuckly fingers.







Notice the similar body proportions of Patrick Johnson (Indigenous) and the other sprinter of African decent;

In person? GAJ by a long way, only because every time I was at the stadium he did something magical. I was there for both of his boundary line goals at KP and especially the one for Gold Coast is easily the best footy moment I've seen in the flesh, emphasis on in the flesh.

I've seen Franklin in the flesh 2-3 times and he always had a quiet game, personal biases aside he is capable of some freakish acts and I'd love to see one in person, but I never have. Likewise for Judd, I even saw him once in his Brownlow year at Carlton and he seemed quiet, though I'm sure he got 3 votes ;)

For geographical reasons I've only seen Danger in person once since he joined the Cats, and it was the game where he copped a knee to the chest and had little impact afterwards, wish I had been there for the rematch when he channeled Ablett Snr. or his game against the Bulldogs earlier this year. He really has had some freakish performances for us so far.

Been watching since the late 80s. Lance Franklin. Wouldve had a Charlie by now were it not a midfielders medal. Hope he kicks 1000 goals by the end of his career, because the general public wont agree until he crosses that arbitrary line.

there are no other teams worthy
Probably Bruce Doull or Gary Ablett the first.
Having said that, I reckon if I had seen Jesaulenko career have a sense he might take Ablett.
But I came along a decade too late to see him.
