Kain Robbins another who could have found himself in the top 10

Just remember Oliver got bog against jako in he's prime and was kicking 100+ in the bfl, both him and dekka should have played 200 afl games each. Did dekka ever cross paths with diesel or did they just miss playing on each other?

Diesel is 7 years older than Derrick so I reckon they would have missed playing against each other unfortunately. Would have been great to see. Oliver was a super player and on his day ( which was often) he was menacing and unstoppable.

Golden square frew

 

[Forest St End]

The gap between Olly and the next is so big the list should go from 1 straight to 4.

Personally I’d struggle to have anyone past the late 90s in a top 20 even, that’s when footy was at its peak in this league.

Oscar Maddern has signed at Calder United. Eaglehawk look to me to be who falls out of top 5 at this point

South Bendigo lodging a complaint to the league because Castlemaine are now stealing their players!!!

My memory is Square, with Doherty kicking a bag on Wayne Mitrovic from centre half forward, lost the vital last home and away game of the 2003 season against Sandhurst to actually drop out of the finals. One of the rare occasions they did not make them. I think Doherty who was employed by the Bendigo Advertiser went to Canberra the following year.

Diesel's duels with Frankie Coughlan starting with the 1983 Sandhurst v Square grand final then continuing on in the AFL with Carlton v St Kilda matches were great to see.

I think metro held him to 6 and kicked 1 or 2 himself from centre half back. I was actually at the game, reckon gathercole played okay too
