Brett Lovett by a country mile. One of the most skillful players I have witnessed.Could use him in today's team.

Strawbs was a great ruckman and team player but was not better than most ruckman going around.

Brett Lovett was an outstanding HBF with skills,, vision, judgement and the ability to consistently win one-on-one contests and deliver to advantage. I rate him as one of the best Melbourne players of his era and one of the best HBF in the league. Serious, serious class.

Lovett for me.

 

Did Lovett come close to winning the 1990 Brownlow?

He did.  He finished equal 4th with 15 votes.  Libba 18, Wright 17 and Silvagni 16. Brett tied with David Bain from the Bears and Andy Collins from Hawthorn.  He was a an excellent player, cool, calm and composed.  Disposal and vision was outstanding.  One of the stars of our best era since the 50's and 60's, and certainly the most consistent.

Just watch the replay of the 1988 prelim and watch his skills in the wet compared to other players.  

That's a tough one. Lovett is clearly the better player, but Stawbs was one of my all time faves.
