Which player, past or present, has the greatest highlight package?

[Cleansweep17]

Yeah but he had more highlights in just those 6 Hawthorn games than most players for their whole careers

Yeah true, some people do need to see less candy in there lives. Much healthier

Gotta say after watching that YouTube clip on the thread about him the other day, Jars is the closest thing I’ve seen to Sr. Only thing between them is probably physicality

Ladies and gentlemen… I give you Paul Magumbwa.

The best highlights package for a state league player that you’ll ever see.

Why is he not in the AFL?

 

[omgfridge]

Akermanis was one of my first thoughts but a player whose some of his goals live rent free in my head are below

A disappointing package, I must say. Too cold? Exhaustion? Who knows.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Brett Burton criminally under rated

Did some great things in high performance at the Crows post career too.

There's plenty of quality players, but some are more freakish than others.

Who do you think has the best highlights package?
My short list is
Tony Modra
Gary Ablett Snr
Warrick Capper
Darren Jarman
Peter Daicos
Eddie Betts

Who else would rate amongst them?

Of the named players - and I would add Dusty to that list - Gary Ablett Senior had it all - speed, sheer strength, classy goals, marking, and longevity - whereas the named players didn't IMO.

I grew up watching 90s footy (and hence 80s footy on any of the many VHS my dad had) so I'm particularly biased to that era but...how anyone can still talk about players from that era as being better than those of the last 20 years are just living off nostalgia. Standing out in the modern day would be infinitely harder than back then.

I agree with the Cyril, Betts nominations, always a fun watch. For the less explosive I really enjoy watching Pendlebury - the way he finds a pocket of space, as if time slows down, has always been phenomonal. Guess it depends on what kind of highlights you want to see.

 

[tony__montana]

Senior easy - then
Modra, capper, J.farmer, Betts, Rioli, P. Daicos in no particular order

 

[kreuze_missile]

Eddie Betts?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Of the current players Curnow, Pickett and Bolton the first that come to mind. Jeremy Howe not too bad either though it's mostly just speccies over and over.

Of all time hard to go past Cyril and Betts for mine.

 

[Sttew]

Eddie Betts?

A good reel and a champion of the game no doubt, but a bit repetitive don't you think? Compare his goals with GAS. He could kick massive torpedo punts, goals on the run, goals when taking the ball out of a ruck competition, goals from speccy marks, etc

 

[Lockyer24]

Daicos and Ablett the best.

But the one which caught my eye and was a little random on The Front Bar was Darryl White.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

That is quite possibly the worst selling of the candy I’ve ever seen. Nobody was even near or looking at him

[Tarkyn_24]

Eddie Betts?

I search for him or Jeff Farmer when I want to watch Tarkyn Lockyer’s lowlights packages.
