Moved Thread Which 3... ?

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

We love a comparison:

Hird-Voss-Buckley

vs

GABlett-Fyfe-Danger

Would would you pick and why?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

The old boys for mine...

 

[Headless]

What I'm more interested in is who was better out of Hird, Voss and Buckley.

Also Judd, Hodge and Ball.

To answer your question, I prefer the first trio.

My best:
1. GAJ
2. Hird
3. Voss
4. Danger
5. Bucks (possibly ahead of Danger)
6. Fyfe

Reverse the numbers, eg Gaz 6 and Fyfe 1, and I’ve got the Hird’s group at 11 and Ablett’s at 10. Close call.

Ball???

 

[Headless]

Ball???

 

[Gralin]

Thought it was going to be a Collins-Langford-Ayres vs thread, disappointed

 

[NonPhixion]

for a centre clearance I would want Ablett, Fyfe & Danger.
To win the game id want Hird, voss & Buckley

 

[SSSSSS]

GAJ Fyfe Dangerfield for 22 games a season.

Voss Buckley Hird for the Grand Final.

 

[Fire]

Ablett-Dunstall-Lockett for mine. I'm old old school.

 

[ThaiTiger]

Hird-Voss-Buckley are easily the best players to ever coach their own teams.

 

[Ok Boomer]

GAJ
Voss
Hird
Fyfe
Buckley
Danger

For the record, I would have Martin probably in the middle and Judd between Voss and GAJ. Would probably have Cousins in that slot too, but I’m incredibly biased when it comes to him.

As for which trio, probably the older guys. Martin, Fyfe and GAJ would be closer though.

 

[tony__montana]

Strange trio - Ablett isnt really the same generation hes 7-8 years older than the other two, why the comparison?

The first trio had constant comparisons throughout their careers bc they were all peaking at the same time. The 2nd trio dont really have a comparison rivalry as such

 

[Simon_Says]

Ball???

Surely you would Have Swanny over Ball

 

[DanielLaneDC]

I don't get these trios. Hird-Voss-Buckley - that's fine. But shouldn't it be accompanied with:

Ablett-Judd-Hodge
Danger-Fyfe-Martin

 

[Tassie_Tiger]

I’d have three groups of
Hird-Vos-Buckley
GAJ-Judd-Swan
Dusty-Danger-Fyfe

GAJ is not a part of this next gen

 

[Tassie_Tiger]

Ablett-Judd-Hodge
Danger-Fyfe-Martin

Forgot about hodge but I still think swan is on par with him and Judd

 

[Carringbush2010]

The whole 6 in the one team!

 

[M Malice]

Voss, Hird and Buckley. Fyfe and Dangerfield butcher the ball too often compared to the other 4 mentioned.

 

[Smedts_2]

Voss, Hird and Buckley. Fyfe and Dangerfield butcher the ball too often compared to the other 4 mentioned.

Hard to disagree with that.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Hird, Voss and Buckley for me.

Cleaner skills. Probably not as good in tight as the other 3 but no slouches and much better on the outside.

 

[HTT]

The first 3. Dangerfield is comparatively nowhere near any of those players

 

[sobrave]

Hird is ridiculously overrated. Ricciuto was better than buckley. Strange trio.

I’m not sure you’ll receive must support for this proposition.

I think Hird was the best player of the past 30 years. Can’t comment pre 90s since I was only a wee one.

Ricciuto was a great player. Arguable that he was better than Buckley but not definitive.

Agreed. If Swan is not in these discussions then neither can Dangerfield : both do/did not have elite ball use.

Still think Swan was better for longer : arguably in the best 1-2 players for 3 years running (competing with Judd then Ablett).
