Hard to argue with any of those selections. But there will be players who have missed out who would have decent cases.

strikes me as unlucky. Kicked 75 goals in the same year that a team mate kicked the ton, and also had another season of 75 goals and a Coleman winning 72 goals.

This looks more like just a best team.

How short can a peak be?

Justin Koschitske’s few games in a row in 2005 where he dominated were the equal of any four games any ruck/forward has played. I’d say they’d be the equal or better of Gawn’s top four games. He was absolutely unstoppable.

Another one that comes to mind is Chad Cornes. There were some times (2004 mostly) when he was playing CHB and running high, almost as a midfielder, and he was completely dominant both offensively and defensively. He was usually taking on a key forward but also getting huge amounts of the ball himself. He was better than what Rance was, just not at that level for as long. He later became virtually a full time mid.

if peak is contained to only games where he tagged Adam Goodes.

Similarly, Vickery vs Pies in 2014 or so was a sight to behold.
