Mitch Thorp (just ask him)
Jarman

Surprised Burgoyne hasn't got a mention at least

Would have Jarman first though

Outside the obvious mentioned on previous pages, young Paul Hudson

Was my absolute favourite player until Cyril came along - Pure talent

I didn't see footy before the 00s.

To me, Cyril is skill.

It's never fair to compare anyone to him.

If they've got the marking and the freakish goals, they probably don't have the killer defensive instincts and the tackling technique. If they've got the agility, speed and advantage kicking in open play, they probably don't have the hardball nous in tight. If they've got the highlight reel and attacking flair, they probably don't have the commitment to unselfishly putting your teammates in the best position.

No one I've seen had it all like Cyril.

 

[Cyril says]

Surprised Burgoyne hasn't got a mention …

Oh yes he has …

Cyril over any 30 second period he was involved in. Followed by Buddy then Jars and as a roughie, the Freak.

Over a longer time span - perhaps a game or season or career - Lethal, Hudson, Knights, Dunstall, Burgoyne and Mitch.

(although to be fair I mis-spelled his name back on p1) …
