    Top 5 Swans Players Ever

    I thought I might start up a forum/debate on everyone's top five Swans players of all time.

    For the record, my top five players in watching the Swans since 1978 are the following -

    1. Paul Kelly
    2. Greg Williams
    3. Tony Lockett
    4. Dennis Carroll
    5. Barry Mitchell

    Honourable mentiones go to Barry Round, Stevie Wright, Daryn Cresswell, Andrew Dunkley, Mark Bayes, Barry Hall & Gerard Healy.

          If it was my top five Fitzroy players - Yes, but not in my Swans top five.

                      Skilton has to be in the top five and he is rated highly and as one of the all-time greats by anyone who played against him.

                      The rest is a subjective exercise to an extent and a bit odious as it is hard comparing eras.

                                          Agree! He was our only consitently good player for a few years there. A big stand out.

                                          Another player that was always a standout was Denis Carroll. A thumping kick, on a small ground.

                                                      Williams Healy Kelly Lockett Bayes..no particular order

                                                      Just miss out .. Mitchell, Carroll, Dunkley, Cressa, Toohey (a personal favourite).

                                                      Honourable mentions Henwood, Ackerley, Evans, Wright, Capper.
                                                      Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun

                                                      I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl Warren
