Hard to compete with Jeff White.Same things going to happen to Doyle now Spida is at the club.

(Although I gather you mean players who came from other clubs)

But he is certainly the best "discard" come good.

Agreed. He was the first person i thought of.

If anyone has watched (no doubt most have) the 2003 season highlights DVD, i believe Paul Roos stated that his career was almost finished half way through 2002. But somehow he became the best tagger in the AFL over the next 2 or so seasons.

How much do people want to overrate Jolly? Just a footballer.

Craig Bolton by a country mile.

Drew Petrie at 2 looks a bit high...but i think they assume that StKilda would have wanted his 'type' of player

I'd have to question how coughlan gets in above Amon... not enough games surely... mainly through injury but still...

But they weren't ... "Carey is a w*anker" was a chant that started up years before he did it with his best friends wife in a toilet. With the value of hindsight, we were in fact, proved correct. Carey IS a w*anker.
Don't argue.

No. Not sheep.
A lot of people on here go on about the lack of passion that the chardy set show. This all happened before the chardy set arrived.
IIRC, at the time, the bushrats were trying to bulldoze their way into the Sydney market.
We didn't want them. Full stop.
The game against the bushrats at the time (which was won convincingly by us) was a fun day peppered with good-old fashioned sledging ... by 40,000 people.
My other favourite chant from the day was "there's only one team in Sydney".
It was great day in Sydney's recent history.
For me, it was the day the team were finally cemented in Sydney.
The fans stood up and said no, we don't want another team up here, we already have one.
A great day indeed.

That's how you come to the conclusion that Paul Kelly is the greatest footballer of all time - you've spent your time chanting instead of watching.
