Definitely. But regardless of that he's 32 & playing poorly.

True too

Interesting article on the AFL website:

Best of the best: Your club's greatest player of all time

For some clubs, it's clear-cut. For others, the debate still rages. AFL.com.au's reporters make the call on the greatest player at every club

www.afl.com.au

It's always problematic comparing players from different eras, and they should separate Brisbane/Fitzroy and Sydney/South Melbourne.

Although if they play their cards right, they're in a perfect position to start their rebuild by racking up high draft picks.

Not sure if Yze is the coach to do it though..

They are lucky it's a deep and even draft.

Bottoming out is ok but you don't want to bottom out in a week draft like 2020.

All I noticed was that Stephen Silvagni was named in the article but other great backs like Jack Regan (Should have been in the team of the century), David Dench, Geoff Southby, Matthew Scarlett, Alex Rance. etc. were not.

It's like the media can't remember any other KPD other than SOS?

Silvagni > Regan? - FMD - another AFL myth

Even just at Carlton, Southby was a better full back than Silvagni

Allen Jakovich and Plugger both said SOS as their hardest opponent.
He was better than Southby by a whisker in my opinion.
Deserved winner.

SOS was a good player.
But was he better than Mick Gayfer?

No fecking way!!!

Allan Jakovich was an absolute superstar. What do you mean?
Fastest player in history to the first fifty goals.
9 games I think.
Just wasn't as dedicated.

Tony Modra may have said the same about SOS.
Can't remember. He was a phenomenal player. Could move up forward and kick plenty of goals as well. Hate Carlton but SOS and Doull were exceptional.

Absolute freak. One of the most entertaining players to pull on a boot. You're right though, just didn't have any motivation

Left or right foot from 50 plus, was a gun. A lot of his goals were from general play as the defenders couldn’t handle his mobility

He pales into insignificance compared to Gary Ablett senior.
The best player I ever saw.

The second goal here is ridiculous

 

[Fat Jesus]

The second goal here is ridiculous

He kicked 11.8 on Mick Martyn
On this day.

 

[Pistol Night]

Insane

Doull yes. Silvagni pulled on jumpers a bit too much for my liking
