Both players suffered ACL's,  at least a couple of times.

But if both were uninterrupted by knee injuries,  then IMO,  Schwartz could have bee one of the AFL's best ever players.

Got to agree with you here. Schwartz in my opinion would  have won a Brownlow from a forward spot he was that talented. Shame he did his knees. Was brilliant to watch when on song.

Schwarz circa 1994 is close to my favourite all-time Demon player.   Please posters, don't put a "T" in his name!  *pedant rant over*

I hadn't realised  I was doing that.  Thanks ds'.

This is becoming too hard. Whoever  I chose will be up against Neitz in the next round and, in any reasonable sense, I would pick all three to be in the best team that I have seen in 60 years.

Even worse, the chosen one out of these three would most likely have to go up against  Jimmy. That is going too far. I can no longer participate in this process.

So whilst I would select David ahead of Sean I will no longer submit a vote. Next time let us be asked to name a top 5, 10 or 20 so that we do not have to tear ourselves apart pitting heros against heros. It's just too hard.

This is currently a top 8 poll though so i doubt you'll handle a top 5 ?

So,  the Grand Final playoff,  will be the magical match-number,  '31'.

Anyone who hasn’t read Schwarz’s biography ‘All bets are off’, give it a look.  Astounding story and very easy to read.  Recasts his career in a completely different light.

A top five is easy. Stynes, Schwarz, Neitz, Wight would all be worthy candidates along with Lyon.

To have a contest between any two of this group is disrespectful and unbearable.
