1. Ablett - Clearly the best player in the league

2. Franklin - Unstoppable when he is playing well.

3. Pendles - Second best mid in the league.

Hart , Matthews , Skilton .

lol, Really?

I mean Really?

The thing that makes an argument like yours nul and void, is that the ancient fossils named in your list (matthews excepted), were never submitted to testing.

Todays players are.

Faster

Fitter

More Skilled (by LIGHT YEARS)

Better Coached

etc, etc, etc

I would prefer Dipper, Worsfold, and Archer, if you want players of a byegone era.

At least we would get a boost in an area that is lacking.

Like the old cricket argument over which team would win, Bradmans, or Waughs.

Steve and the boys would have been on the booze by lunch on day 4

Realistic players?

Sewell, Cloke, and Black.

4 Yr contracts?

I wasn't being serious - I just plucked 3 names from the past with no real forethought .

Post #5 for current players .

A Gaff - Outside speed, classy and young.

B Matera - Crumber we are crying out for, also young.

T Cotchin - On his way to brownlow, a bit older to help shape our kids

Cotchin.

Selwood.

Sloane.

apologies to Martin, Gaff, Murphy, Pendlebury, GAblettJnr...

What if the assumption was that those old players had today's coaching, fitness and general professionalism?

On what I reckon we need

Cotchin

Pendlebury

Harley Bennell

I would go

(1) Watson

(2) Pendleton

(3) cotchin

Would go sully instead of Watson but too scared what the reaction would be.

Come to think of it I will go Franklin instead of Watson. Caught up in the emotion of Essendon's comeback against the Swans

Franklin

Pendlebury

Watson

Any one who would not have G.Ablett is either not serious or hasn't got a clue

Ablett, L. Jetta and take your pick Ballantyne, Pendlebury, Betts or Conca.

Lenny Hayes

Trent Cotchin

Patty Dangerfield

Coniglio (swan districts boy)

Gaff

Ablett

2 up and coming midfield guns and the best player in the comt

How anyone could not have Budweiser Franklin in their list is beyond my comprehension!

Fair call range rover, but we wouldn't get him the ball like the hawks can

Who underrates him?

Not so much underrated but half my family go for the swans and if he was in a melbourne team he would be so much bigger and more noise would be made.

Just like the big Pav from freo

Some nice wish lists there overall, good work.

Could they actually happen?

1) Lance Franklin

2) Scott Pendlebury

3) Trent Cotchin

Just a fun exercise, but say you had carte blanch to sign three players from rival clubs on 4 year deals. Anyone at all ... which three would you bring to the Demons? Think list management and flag-tilt.

Mine?

1. Patrick Dangerfield

2. Lance Franklin

3. David Swallow

!. Ablett

2. Judd

3. Franklin

Trent Cochin

Nathan Fyfe

Harley Bennell

Apologies to Naitanui and Jeremy Cameron.

Franklin

D Swallow

Le Cras

Dustin Martin

Trent Cotchin

Dyson Heppell

All still got another 200 games in them

Cotchin

Dangerfield

Franklin

The first two not the best now but will be the best goal kicking inside/outside skilled mids in the comp in 2 years. Franklin purely for his difference to everyone else.

Kennedy - led AFL in clearances and contested possies in 2011. Form thus far in 2012 has been sensational

Pendlebury - gun

Buddy - gun
