It’s an absolute shellacking.
Not even a clown vote for Jarman.
All hail mighty Godra.

Eddieee
I'm all for acknowledging past greats, and that sometimes maybe we forget how good older players were....
But Eddie Eddie Eddie by a mile. He defined the Adelaide Oval era. A dominant first 4 seasons, with X factor and box office footy that was second only to the great Tony Modra
Plus 3 GOTY?

Eddie's highlights were all goals.
Mods were mostly the marks.
I think modra made the crazy look easy. Eddie was more edge of your seat stuff...always clenching when he went near it. I was lucky enough to have been a member during Eddie's reign. Most of my Modra memories are on tv and are fading a bit.
Eddie over mods isn't completely ridiculous, but I'll stick with mods
McDermott. By a long way. McDermott was our initial midfield general. He never went missing. The dude was a state of origin winning captain.
If you're going to war, it's definitely Bone you want to be in the trenches with.
But if 'Best Ever Crow' is the voting criteria...it's got to be Eddie
Nah. McDermott was a pure gun. Very rarely went missing. Can't say the same about Eddie.
By far?!
Maybe I am being too romantic. I’ll usually rate consistently skilful, brilliant and entertaining players higher than those who incredibly valuable but more mundane to watch. Also maybe showing my age. I was a a teenager when McDermott was playing for Adelaide. I remember him being hard at it, but I don’t remember him being amazing. Was surprised to see the AA captain gong.
He was 27 by the time the crows entered so end of his prime. I was only 9 years old in 1991. But ive watched all the videos of the early ays for the crows.
Also stats show he was a ball magnet

McDermott was a gun but if there was a Team of the Century (plus 25 or so years) Eddie would be in the conversation to be in it, whereas Bone would be nowhere near it

McDermott got shafted a lot with Brownlow votes. He put up some ridiculous numbers and yet never polled more than 10 votes in a season. For instance, he got nothing in any of his 40+ disposal games despite statistically being one of the best mids in the league in the early 90s, and the highlights I've seen from him would suggest that.

McDermott had a big mouth, he never polled too well in SANFL either compared to the games he had
