Why would you even bother?

There'll probably be one or two who don't recognise the genius of Klug, and vote for Ricciuto purely on his accomplishments...

FFS, people are so shallow when it comes to analysing footballers.

It was after a match in 1991 against North Melbourne that under 19s North Melbourne coach Dennis Pagan watched the game and Klug and thought " with a dominant forward like him, you could just clear out the 50 and win games"

2 years later he made that plan come true

Tough match up for the very good Peter Caven, who played an important role in 2 Premiership sides. I doubt he’ll get a vote.
The Caveman was another one of my favourites who was underrated. Clearly enjoyed the freedom Blight gave him to play his own game & get plenty of the ball.

Goody though is a top-5 Crow.
