I'm amazed at the way some people see this. Barry Hall in the bottom half? Neitz in the top few? Bizarre.

Yep, guilty as charged. Melbourne bias shining thru no doubt.. ;)

    Lucas is being criminally underrated in this exercise.

    In his prime he was an absolute superstar.

    I'll never forget his 7 goal last quater v WCE in hird's last match

    Plugger called to say hi...

    Plugger was totally brilliant but he didn't play enough september for mine. Dunstall & Ablett Snr were there regularly.

    It's true, Dunstall was the best forward I've ever seen, and Plugger and Ablett snr were better than anyone in this ten. What a freak time for forwards?

    Rank these 10 tall forwards (alright some didn't play their entire career fwd but maybe that makes them rate higher) who have recently retired or are getting close ...

    My rankings are for the players in their career as forwards, rather than their overall career. This pushes Grant and Neitz a bit down the list.

    Lloyd

    Richo

    Tredrea

    Lucas

    Grant C

    Hall

    Neitz

    Robbo

    O'Loughlin

    Rocca A

    If it related to their overall careers, Grant would be alongside Lloyd, and Neitz would be in the group with Richo, Tredrea and Lucas.

    Very respectful Ash. :D I like it.

    People here claim the whole "in his day Lucas was a star" thing. But that's true of everyone of those players. In fact pretty much all of them had a three-year run there where they were in their prime. Neitz 2002-04, Tredrea his premiership year as well as the year after and before. Hall the WC/Sydney rivalry years, Robbo had 3 sparse ones but was still well and truly in their company.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
