never losing a showdown is under rated. I bet that would shit ricciuto

 

[Chewy316]

The one handed pickup on the wing ..
Even overthinking dermis was lost for words

I've been doing this footy thing for a while not as long as some of you old campaigners ..

But JHF would be in the top 10 AFL port players already?

Interesting question you've posed there.

Just off the top of my head with no real thought given (and in no particular order):

• Tredrea
• K Cornes
• C Cornes
• P Burgoyne
• S Burgoyne
• Wanganeen
• Boak
• Gray
• Cassisi
• Wines
• Lade

I think 40ish games is way too early to proclaiming him in the top 10 of Port's best AFL players. What I'll say though is that his potential is limitless and I won't be surprised when he hangs up his boots to be revered as one of the greatest players to ever wear the Port Adelaide jumper - both at SANFL and AFL level.

For impact per possession, I would back Jason against currently anyone. He already makes us a genuine contender and as others have said, he's already the spiritual leader of this group.

Remember when the Victorian media said Cyril Rioli was the goat because he'd average 15 possessions per game but the quality of those disposals meant it was like he was getting 30? JHF's use of the footy is the best in the competition imo, and to get 25 JHF possessions is worth any other player getting 40+.

Cassisi would struggle to make our top 50 players.

 

[Chewy316]

Cassisi would struggle to make our top 50 players.

Premiership player, captain of the Club - 230 odd games.

Underrated career. Not saying top 10 but underrated relative to others.

 

[EdgePower1870]

Premiership player, 4 time best and fairest, captain of the Club.

Underrated career.

4 X Fos Williams aka best team man also won by such luminaries as Jasper Pittard and Troy Chaplin. Dom wasn't that great. But the rest of the list is hard to beat

Yeah no idea why I wrote B&F - sleep deprived due to the Olympics.

Francou over Dom easily

[JimmyBC]

Anyway, has anyone got an answer what Selwood was doing at our club? Is it even true?

Yea it's true he came to the club to talk to the leadership group and a few others.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Cassisi would struggle to make our top 50 players.

Yep - If you were to name an all time AFL best 22, I’d of thought Cassisi struggles to make the reserves side.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Yeah, I did one a while ago on this site and the lack of Boak or Boak late was a thing for people.

could be close now.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Heck, Dan Houston could be close now.

Roger James, Dan Houston, Connor Rozee, Zak Butters, Boak could all be in their at 9.

 

[sobrave]

Boak is better than korn

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Generally I like big time players so a guy like Boak is down a bit based on that criteria.

 

[FishingRick04]

Yea it's true he came to the club to talk to the leadership group and a few others.

Well keep him here, it obviously worked

comes in at 5

7. Matthew Primus
8. Peter Burgoyne
9. Josh Francou
10. Kane Cornes

After 8, it starts to get difficult. Boak could easily be in there at 9.

Only thing I would say about this list is only one bloke had the leauge change/adopt a rule to curb his influence. If nothing else, this should tell you just how dominant a prime and uninhibited/fit Primus was. Heck even on one leg he was a force. Watch his ‘last match’ in ‘04 against Brisbane at Footy Park.

 

[backtozero]

 

[RangaInTeal]

I'd have Michael Wilson in my top 10, but it's possible I'm an even bigger fan of Wilbur than his own mum. He makes my all time top 4 favourite Port players, along with Russell, Greg Phillips and Martin Leslie. Robbie Gray comes in at 5

Yep, 15 was my number for years because of the great man! If there was more Wilbur in the world society would be in a better place. He is what this list needs!

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Primus is one of those players that is hard to place in the Top 10 because he was only outstanding for 100 games for the Power.

I don't have an issue if people have him higher.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'd have Michael Wilson in my top 10, but it's possible I'm an even bigger fan of Wilbur than his own mum. He makes my all time top 4 favourite Port players, along with Russell, Greg Phillips and Martin Leslie. Robbie Gray comes in at 5

I love Wilbur but I can't get him in there.

 

[RangaInTeal]

And this is why the top 10 or team of the decade/history are so good, but cause so much distress, views are so differing and everything is subjective.

Trav makes my team of the period, AFL, 25 years, 50 years, maybe 100 years. But not my top 10 footballers. May make a top 10 in culture greats, Fos, Big Bob, Bucky, John, Choco, Motley, Boulton, Boak…

 

[El_Scorcho]

I can absolutely get on board with someone making an argument for Wilbur as a top 10 AFL era player depend on the criteria you're using. If he has exactly the same career in Victoria he has a reputation somewhere around Glenn Archer. One where the individual accolades really don't match the output at all.

I think Tredrea, Gray and Wanganeen are clearly ahead of Boak at this stage, but he's got a strong argument to be ahead of anyone else.

I know the Brownlow isn't a perfect metric but it compares him to our other midfielders, and I don't think anyone would be close to his 0.52 votes per game across his career. The current big 3 certainly could get there, but it's a big ask.
