Name your top 5 players of all time?

[Engimal]

I can only remember from 2000 onwards so here's my top 10 (no order)

Gary Ablett jr-possibly the greatest ever
Chris judd-when at his prime, unstoppable. Double brownlow medalist
Ben cousins-I just loved the way he played footy
Matthew Lloyd-powerful FF
Matthew Richardson-a bit biased but great player
Nathan Buckley-tough amazing mid
James Hird-great player
Lance Franklin-amazing dynamic player
Daniel Kerr-formed a premier midfield with judd and cousins
Simon Black-great brownlow medalist

Most of the players have an advantage of playing all the way through the 2000's but I'm sure Cotchin, Dangerfield and others will be there by the end of there careers

Disagree with the bold but you could certainly put in a case for Richo.

 

[JEZZAS BLUES]

Mine are in no particular order
Leigh Matthews
Gary Ablett SNR
Bruce Doull
Robert Harvey
Chris Judd/ Simon Madden
Couldnt leave out either really wanted a ruckman in there

 

[Donakebab]

Disagree with the bold but you could certainly put in a case for Richo.

Surely you're having a laugh. All of the names listed have a strong claim to be in the top 10 since 2000.

Wayne Carey, Gary Ablett, Sr., Tony Lockett, Jason Dunstall, John Nicholls.

John Nicholls??
What is this- pick the odd one out?
Nicholls was good, but if you're old enough to have seen him, you'll have seen Polly as well. Sacrelige to select Big Nic > Polly

 

[Vdubs]

Gary Ablett snr
Wayne Carey
Jason Akermanis
Gary Ablett jnr
Tony Modra,
in order

These for me have been the most exciting, reluctantly including Carey, but he was so good.

2 coodabeens
John Greening
Paul Lynch,
cruelly lost to us as absolute stars due to injuries.

 

[Glacier]

From the players I have seen and remember as a little kid to now

1- Leigh Mathews ( by a long way too, and without bias )
2- Gary Ablett Snr
3- Wayne Carey
4- Gary Ablett Jnr
5- Jason Dunstall
6- Tony Lockett
7- Darren Jarman ( particularly at Adelaide)
8- John Platten
9 - Greg Williams
10- Michael Voss

I wish I had of seen Peter Hudson play

 

[Cosmic Energy]

Gary Ablett snr
Wayne Carey
Jason Akermanis
Gary Ablett jnr
Tony Modra,
in order

These for me have been the most exciting, reluctantly including Carey, but he was so good.

I was thinking about Mods the other day Veedubs. Almost out of nowhere in 1993 he became a superstar. For me he was the closest thing to Ablett in terms of freakishness, not as good on the deck, not quite as skilful from an all-round point of view, and probably could only play deep forward unlike Gary pre-93, but his leaping ability was just out of this world. Probably the best hanger-taker of all time His star burned very bright, very quickly, and might be a tad underrated by the wider footy community.
