  1. Nathan Buckley is the most overrated by a long way. Constantly turns the ball over, doesn't go in for a hard ball, doesn't break lines, doesn't kick goals only behinds unless he's playing on a first gamer. He does usually get his 30 possessions which garantees him 3 votes by the media even though it doesn't matter where they go, his Norm Smith medal proved that. I don't understand why they rave on about him so much plenty of players pick up high stats like West but people don't go on about him as much as they do about Buckley. It must be because he is in black and white colours.

    Jonathan Brown plays a handfull of great games a year when he's not injured or suspended and he is continually referred to as the next Carey. Carey was brilliant in nearly every match he played even though Brown is a good player he will never be even half the player Carey was.

    Justin Leppitsch hasn't played a decent game for 10 years and he still gets in Sheahan's top 50 every year. He had 1 decent year and Mike still goes on about how great he is, Leppitsch has had it just face it Mike.

    Big C

    Your off the money on all 3.

    Add Nathan Buckley, Jonothon Brown & Justin Leppitsch to our current list & you have a Premiership Team.

    Have you watched much footy in the last 10 years? :blink:

  2. Robbie Flower , gosh where do we begin?????????????????

    Absolute LEGEND in our lifetime!

    2 great moments locked in the mind forever:

    1. State Of Origin game about 1976, built as the clash of the 2 superstars of Aussie Rules

    Brian Peake from W.A. V's Robbie Flower from Vic

    Vic's win by 100 points & Robbie blows The Brian Peake is the best in the land theory out the window.

    He was simply sublime that day, makes you wonder what he would of produced on the last day in September.

    2. Dee's V Swans 2nd Semi @ The G in 1987. Pouring rain & still his skills where amazing.

    The lights glowed brightly on The G & Robbie came off mid way through the last quarter with The Dee's about 80 points up & the crowd stood as one and acknowleged a true Red & Blue superstar. Sadly it was to be the last time he ever left The G as a victorious Demon.

    Thanks for the memories Robbie Flower. :D
