Man rivers and Miller's first 2 seasons it looked like we might have the best CHB/CHF combo for the next decade.
I remember thinking at one point if we could just get Rivers on the park, we'd be set.
 
Once Brad started dating Pia he lost his manhood and anger. His anger made him as good as he was early.
Yeah I think it was that 2004 season where it seemed like Daniher was still pissed about what Essendon did to us an we played like absolute campaigners for the year. Miller, Carroll, Reid, Moloney, Neitz, Whelan etc they were extra angry that year.

Miller was genuinely feared, got suspended a fair bit but he was 10x the player he was when he was getting suspended than he was for the rest of his career. Made teammates walk taller and the opposition shit themselves.

Similar could be said for so many players during that decade.

Voted Chip, though I'm almost certain it's due to how much I've detested watching McDonald lumber around over the past two and a half years.

Bar McDonald's 2018 season, Frawley was the better player though, imo.
 
This has probably been the toughest one so far. Tmac's career has been a real roller-coaster. He has a history of slotting into a position nicely for a couple of years and then losing his mojo.

Frawley wasn't quite the same player after 2010 but I don't think he ever reached the lows of Tmac's 2019/20.

I'd say Frawley, just.
