Rank the forwards

Featured Replies

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
