This is really hard, especially with my good looking criteria

[Proper Gander]

Grit - Viney
Leadership - can’t pick between Gawn and Jones. Head says Gawn, heart says Jones
Footy smarts - Daisy Pierce
Marking - Gawn
Tackling - probably Viney?
Handballing - Oliver
Left handed handballing - Jake Bowey
Spoiling - Lewis (couldn’t really think of one but he did two great spoils on GAJ in the 2018 final
Composure - me
Goal kicking - watts (style rather than numbers)
Goal awareness - Koz not too bad?
Flair - trac
Good looking - 1. Bernie 2. That nice Tazzy guy that played for us for a few years 3. SME
Not so much good looking but kind of makes you go a bit wobbly in a smouldering sort of way - not telling

This looks unimaginative but I only started following footy in 2008 and we had limited examples of stand-outs for a fair while

 

[Headless]

"not telling" really tickled me.

Great!

Still not telling

Always surprised me how many games we lost with these two running around!

The Petterd call.

Yeah that was kind of harsh, hahaha

 

[Crimson Azure]

Both having enjoyed notable Melbourne careers

Says that where?

 

[Proper Gander]

I’ve started looking at this the other way around and I’m thinking of players that I quite liked and seeing if they fit the best of any of the categories.

So far I sadly haven’t been able to place Col Garland anywhere yet

 

[Proper Gander]

Says that where?

True.

Can we firm up the criteria please Less?

Decent on the spoil, particularly on the lead IMO.

I had Melbourne careers in mind but anything is fine.

Thank you

Decent on the spoil, particularly on the lead - Col Garland come on down!

Occurs to me suddenly that Ronnie Dale might be a lock for a few of these, except without footage it’s hard to place him. On results though…

Sometimes I wish I was lots older, but only occasionally

Best pre-season trainer: Lucas Cook

James Sellar had some ripper pre-season games!

 

[Proper Gander]

Good category! Due for a breakout season…

 

[Proper Gander]

I just recalled years and years back when Foxtel were replaying classic games over the summer. I watched the one where Flower captained Vic in State of Origin. I would lock him in for kicking, balance, silkiness and flair just on that.

Another important category for me is dimples. In 2013 we lead the competition with three players with great dimples. 3. Terlich 2. Nate Jones 1. Kent. No other team could match us

Dom I think.

Eyes - an outsider that nobody thinks about but I once noticed that Dean Kent has really nice eyes. Very blue
