Robert Flower

Laurie Fowler

Gary Hardeman/ Greg Wells/ Stan Alves

David Schwartz - up 2001

G Lyon/A Jakovich/ J Farmer up to 2000

Not that hot on Grinter who was a capable footballer but blew it with his sometimes indiscriminate white line fever thuggery.

No Yze RR?

For me, Schwartz, Yze, what I remember of A. Jakovich, and I also liked the way Rigoni went about things.

I think Maric may join that list soon as well.

Frank Adams - Red headed rabbit just like me

Ron Barassi - no explanation necessary

Hassa Mann - Class Player and the number i wore on my Jumper was 29

Gary Hardeman - Beat the best players every week and was unlucky to not win a brownlow

Greg Wells - An exciting player to watch

Stan Alves - I would go just to see his blind turns and runs down the wing

Alan Johnson - Never saw him play a bad game

Robert Flower - Most skillful player i have seen at Melbourne

Gary Lyon - Inspirational and a class act

David Neitz - Lead by example on and off the field

Jim Stynes - remarkable career and person

Jim Tilbrook - Nobody wished he would come good more than me

Sean Wight - One of the most determined players i have seen at Melbourne

John Rantall - Most admired opposition player

Gary Wilson - Most courageous opposition player

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Did the police find him?

[Juice Newton 0]

through the late nineties, early 00's - Simon Godfrey just loved him, no particular reason)

right now - Simon Buckley; love his playing style

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Clint Bizzell

Phil Read

Sean Charles

[NO GODFREY NO MELBOURNE 0]

Simon Godfrey!! :wub:

:(

[Jaded No More 59,158]

Robbo

[Mousey 47]

I would have to say the Wiz and Lyon were my favourite players in the beginning of my supporting career.

Then Woey, then has been a number of players like Robbo etc

But now would have to be- Bucks, Davey and Brock

[Bobby McKenzie 2,208]

Robbo

I've seen a few but on 3.2.1 system mine are:

3. Ronald Barassi. He was the greatest of them all! Never beaten. Could compete in the air against the big guys and on the ground with the smaller ones.

2. Robert Flower. Class all class.

1. Don Williams. The most attacking half back flanker you could imagine. A brilliant mark and a real dasher.

Yeah, thanks mate! Maths was never my forte. You are a smart cookie for picking that up. Edited.

For a sec I thought you were referring to the that last line just before your post.

[Guest Colossus_2000]

Robbie. Jimmy. Neita. Lyon. (Par for course it appears)

Ricky Jackson.

Matty Whelan.

Doggy Brown.

[warren dean 193]

Loved Flower and Gerard Healy when we weren't much good. Devastated when Healy chased the bucks to Sydney. My next hero was Bret Bailey for his match winning goal in the 87 Night GF. Loved the late 80's backline of Wight, Hughes and Johnson. All time favourite would have to be Schwarta! His efforts in 94 (especially the Carlton and Footscray finals) were the stuff of legend. No doubt would have been one of the all time greats but for injury. Oh, and of course Warren Dean!

[jacey 333]

Stinga, Glovett and Nick Smith.

[PhilReadFury 1]

Stinga....

Grinter....

and the year of Phil Read when he was at his Philthiest

[H.B.K 0]

My "Greatest evers" don't go back that far, being all of 20 years old..

Yze was my favourite player for a long time..

Robbo is and will continue to be a favourite..

Green, Neitz, Schwarz, Tingay, Farmer & Viney are all up there as well..

At the moment Brocky, Garland & Rivers are my favourites. But at this stage i would have to say that I still haven't got a favourite of all time
