Miles ahead O'Loughlin imo
Ah Basil, built for league footy!
Ray Bauskis?
Listen to Hardie talk about Stephen Michael, he considers him the best footballer he's ever seen and would have killed in the AFL.
When he played, the WAFL was a very very high standard competition, no AFL , I've heard many people talk about this bloke since I've come over here he sounds like he could have done anything he wanted to. Decided to stay in WA.
Are you as dopey as Sheehan?
Scotty "prince of Pockets" Chisolm?
Nah really, no chip on the shoulder yada,yada,yada. Stephen Michael was a freak. He used to rove his own ruck work and beat much bigger opponents (Graham Moss, Ron Boucher et al). Sheehan has the chip, not me,

Really how do you make a list thats only ten in number , you can't , I know how good Maurice was and I know Franklin is a freak like the Abbletts , but I have seen Cyril do magical things , I would have to have him in MY top ten , but you just keep remembering others , Its impossible , and it is true how can't you have both Krakouers' in the top ten, a must.

Sheedy, Cable and Dorrington were making a Noongar all time time a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if they have completed it yet?

Pretty hard to split them on record IMO McLeod was more consistent but Wanganeen's best was superior, Both wonderful players and both Port Magpies
Love the Maurice Rioli one handed pick-up and belting it long for a goal.

I never saw Cable or Farmer play so I can't comment on them. I have seen the other 8 on that list and Maurice is the best from that lot IMO. He did it when it counted aswell.

This will shock Dermott Brereton who thinks all Indigenous players come from up North

No to Cyril. Jim was better than Phil, you can't have a team with just one Krakouer brother.
Nicky Winmar would punch Sheehan in the nose for suggesting he was a better footballer than his team-mate Stephen Michael. Sheehan is probably lucky Maurice isn't alive as he'd probably give him a pop as well and Maurice could punch on with the best of them!

Yeah, ok.
Probably one of the only lists where #1 and possibly #2 are a given and everyone else is fighting out for the other eight spots.
Absolutely agree...Aboriginal is Aboriginal...No "Full-blood", "Half-blood" etc etc!! It is about identity and acceptance.
My 4 year old identifies as "Aboriginal" and if someone called him a "half blood", I think i would be very offended!!...He is Aboriginal!
