Seriously, did Terry Daniher kill someone at Windy Hill? Only one nomination, and thats by me, an interloper!
I guess they see Lucas as being able to do the job at CHF.
Anyway my three.
Simon Madden - Sensational ruckman , great mobility and able to kick goals as a forward.
Terry Daniher - able to play KP both ends of the ground.
Darren Williams - hard inside mid with very good skills.

1 forward, a centre and a back for me:
John Coleman: my old man saw him play and he said Coleman had more talent in his body than any other footballer he's seen, Ablett included. A legend around Windy Hill. Essendon's Bradman. Our forward line would be unstoppable with Coleman in it.
Leon Baker: met Bakes before he came to Windy Hill when he was still playing for Swans in Perth - my cousin was playing with him at that stage. Had that 'X' factor as a centreman and was the only one I saw really dominate against the great Hawks midfield of the early-mid 80's. Just a great player whose Essendon career was but a cameo. We need an in and out style player in the guts and Baker is it for me.
Gavin Wanganeen circa 1993: had to go an aboriginal with this choice. Could have gone Madden instead because our ruck stocks are a bit sparse, but Wanga it is. Low centre of gravity, always broke tackles and was as elusive as a greasy eel in his first season. Didn't have 'breakaway' pace but always found himself in space and used the ball to perfection. Had a knack of kicking goals as well when he followed his man down to our forward line.
Edit: just seen the stipulation that it had to be a player from 80-2000, but I'm sticking with Coleman!

Funny.
But Bolton is actually the only one of those that qualifies (played at the club in the period 1980-2000)

That's a very astute call
With Knights "emphasis on skills", & call for a "tall running defender", & now 2 PSD spots... how old's Sean these days?
1. Sean Wellman
2. J Hird - of course
3. D Hardwick - to add hardness to our wicks
& it says something that 2 of these guys are defenders... this has been our achilles for far too long

Of those I've seen...Hird, Long and Watson (my 3 favourites of all-time)!!
Baker, Bomber, Harvs, Mercs and TD would also be nice
On a needs basis, Madden or Fish would be pretty handy in the ruck...but I'm hopeful Chook will continue to improve and Hille will step up in 08.
Of those I wish I'd seen...Coleman, Reynolds and Hutchy are the 3 most obvious choices.
Id' also be putting my order in for a 20 year old Fletch
