AFL Clubs Mt Rushmore players

[Michaels]

I have started a new series where I will be taking a look at all 18 AFL Clubs and presenting my Mt Rushmore of players for each of the clubs.

The player selection criteria:
-Must be past player
-Must have been a player I saw play, not a player I never saw (regardless of how good their legacy is)

First up we have Adelaide per the link below!

Brisbane and Carlton are dropping over the next week and a bit as well so keep an eye out!

Judd Matera Cousins I would say have to be there
And then will be listening to see if you choose
Kemp Cox Kennedy Jakovich or someone else

Eagles definitely going to be tricky for a couple of spots!

Z. Merrett.

This was very difficult and some great names have missed out here. Interested to see who you all would have picked!

Hard to change
Black Voss and leppa locks
Browny is fair could switch him out for Shaun hart without to much of a shit storm

Yeah this Was a tough one!

Aker, Hart, Alistair Lynch, White, Lappin all in contention too.

Agree that some could be interchanged with not many issues

Thanks for reminding me about leppa fwd in the hardships of the late 90s.
To me that solidified his place.
Lynch lappin ashcroft johnson are other players that pop to mind when thinking the Brisbane lions.

 

[bobs head soup]

Under the selection criteria, the real My Rushmore would be from Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton and the Bushes.

Significant downgrade.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Essendon.

In Michaels' lifetime, probably.

Hird.
Lloyd.
Fletcher.
Z. Merrett.

Nic Martin
John Coleman
James Hird
Joe Misti

 

[Cunnington Cartel]

Significant downgrade.

That right there is indicative of why the world is an absolute mess.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I’ll pre-empt the Blue…..Jezza, Doull, Nicholls….locks
4th player from, Sticks, Dominator, SOS, Bradley…..good luck!

 

[Michaels]

Part 3 has just launched today, Carlton!

This was a very tricky one. Plenty of good players have missed our here, might cause some arguments ha ha.

 

[Pistol Night]

For Collingwood it's gotta be:
Jack Anthony, Brodie Mihochek, Mason Cox and Simon Prestigiacomo

Hard to argue against that. Rupert Betherus stiff to miss

 

[PerfectFooty]

For the Dees i'm thinking, Barrasi, Stynes, Flower are locks then the last spot is Neitz or Gawn

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Part 3 has just launched today, Carlton!

This was a very tricky one. Plenty of good players have missed our here, might cause some arguments ha ha.

Good top 4 from your era…. But Craig Bradley has to be in…probably ahead of Diesel

 

[Michaels]

He was very very very close.

It was a toss up between those exact two.

I think they could be swapped and be easily justified.

He was a gun!

 

[Percel]

Maybe, Carey, Archer, Harvey, Blight,

But can't discount Schimmelbusch, Greig, Glendinning and Carey's todger

 

[Hamingja]

Under the selection criteria, the real My Rushmore would be from Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton and the Bushes.

Significant downgrade.

It is a bit silly doing it based on time watching IMO. Just acknowledge that there will be a recency bias if you are tossing up Joel Selwood v Reg Hickey v Bobby Davis etc. The Richmond Mt Rushmore is going to have like Jack Riewoldt or Trent Cotchin instead of Jack Dyer lol....

Missed a trick with Bradley
He’s on the wing with Robert Harvey in my AFL era team.
Diesel and Bradley are locks for me.
In my time you could throw a blanket on McKay ratts stixs fev kouta Cripps sos
My uncle took me to state trainings multiple occasions bradles another level.
If the afl wasn’t the vfl he would be recognised as the games record holder that he truly deserves
Bradley one of the most underrated players of all time!
