That doesn’t really relate to the point I was responding to, which was that Daicos is the best all round kick of a football South of the Yarra has seen. We can only really compare the kicking prowess of historical players statistically through their conversion rate. And we can see Daicos has a bit on Akermanis on that score, as does Martin. Daicos was a brilliant kick, I just wanted to make the only statistical comparisons you could reasonably make between him and two other players in contention for a similar position.
By the way though, seeing you raised the point. Akermanis scored 5 of the 32 goals(15% of all goals scored) in the 2003 Grand Final. Daicos scored 2 of the 18 goals(11%) scored in the 1990 GF, his best of two Grand Finals. Martin scored 4 of the 19 goals(21%) scored in the 80% game time of the 2020 Grand Final, and like Akermanis in 2003, also had 1 goal assist.
You shouldn’t be anywhere near this thread.

Nor should you. Any thread in which you are making your conspiratorial or spurious arguments becomes destined for Bay 13. It's just a plain fact. Even threads you have started have ended up in Bay 13...

Everything I post is capable of withstanding the most rigorous evidentiary scrutinyJeez you’ve got it bad for me Sttew.
But can you support your claims with evidence?
**Unless I am wrong
The Dustin Martin fan club is becoming a virus on BF and infecting every thread.
Does anyone have an Enema virus to eradicate it PLEASE.

He kicked a 1000 + goals in an era where no one has done it for 25 years. He is definitely a different type of forward but he deserves to be in the mix for one of the greatest.

Yep barring that knee injury he would be up there …sadly it could be the same for several players with career ending injuries D.Menzel comes to mind

I think he is still up there, his g/g rate, the stand out performances, and the helicopter come-back. Iconic.
I wanted to get Lecras career 1.74 goals per behind in there, but finals 0.89 goals per behind so nah.
Or Jamie Cripps 1.65 goals per behind, but finals 1:1 so he missed the cut, you need to be great under pressure for this thread.

He did.
Key player in back-to-back flags, won a Brownlow and B&Fs plus All Australian back when you really had to earn your AA guernsey.
Hall of Famer.
Footage of the 1951 GF shows Bernie Smith almost playing a different game to everyone else on the field; miles ahead in terms of positioning and ball use.

Its certainly not you that is on numerous Ignore lists.Everything I post is capable of withstanding the most rigorous evidentiary scrutiny

Seriously Dude, don't you have job or a lady friend that needs attention?I wanted to get Lecras career 1.74 goals per behind in there, but finals 0.89 goals per behind so nah.

Visit a gym maybe.
You said earlier in one of your posts that you are working 3 jobs so , serious question, where do you find the time?
Is Chief paying you to keep the threads running so he gets advertising revenue?
Certainly not amongst the great aerialists. McKenna was a better overhead mark than Franklin.

Calm down precious, you’ll have a conniption! Are you ok!?
Despite the fact that you’re clearly a math magician, consider: 1960-2023 = (and please; if you don’t mind of course, correct me if my maths is askew) 63 years. Hardly a century, as per the thread title.
But hey you get alllll worked up about it if that’s how you like to conduct yourself.
Hey I’d better clarify with you btw; we’re not really, actually officially naming a Team of the Century here (or a team of the past 63 years either for that matter) - your gatekeeping is in vain, it’s actually all just a bit of fun - at ease soldier!

Another flag and a top 3 Coleman again I think his name starts to get mentioned.
The amount of distance and possesions he can get as well he is a special player.
I don’t know the stats but I think he would of been top 3 Coleman 5 times.
It’s a big mountain to climb with those forwards but he has to get a mention by the end of he can put together another 3 years.

I do work 3 jobs. One takes me around an hour per day on average to run my little guest house. Another one is 10-12 hours per week as a reserve assistant lawn mower. This is designed not only to get me fit, but also to give me time to think about my misbehaviour. This is a decision I took partially based on the excellent advice of well meaning people like you on here, so thank you. It might just be 10-12 a week but when I don the Mongrels I go harder than a cut cat’s head.
And the other is my main gig, I bet on cricket. This is a vocation I would advise you not to take up under any circumstances. If you end up losing it is no good. But if you have a habit of winning, it is even worse.
Normally I get a decent chop out from my able assistant, but due to a recent bereavement I have been left running around like a blue arsed fly. Probably more the navy blue varietal than air force blue based on last year’s AFL season.
Lady friends, well, in the words of Mr Micawber, I am hourly expecting something to show up.
. But alas, there are only so many wealthy married women of a certain age in the world who would just love a man like me as their partner. So I fill up some of my spare hours in friendly discussion with fellow football supporters on here, just to make sure everybody who doesn’t support Richmond hates us as much as humanly possible.

17 years, 63 years, 100 years - if we’re talking basically an all-time Aussie Rules Best 22 I personally don’t see much harm in posters nominating appropriate players for discussion.
Argue the point re: Bernie Smith all you like, but for mine it’s a bit of a shame not to acknowledge legends of the game upon which the modern game was built.
The great John Coleman’s career was over by the mid-50s; for mine these types are always worth discussing and keeping their deeds and memories alive.

Yes that’s right but I was just saying that in my original post I don’t have the knowledge passed on or seen to me of players before that era so my team will only consist of players from post 1960.
