          Gotta agree with you Woo!

          I tried posting a list and kept going "oh but what about?" and "but I can't leave him out, but I can't kick him out!"

          I like it that we've had enough great players at the club that it makes finding serious standouts so difficult!

                      Adam Goodes not in your top 10 or even named as a close miss? I hope it's an oversight or perhaps Bayes and Dunkley were far better players than I remember .

                        Ooops - an oversight.

                        It is so hard to compare players from the different eras, also it depends on what you are looking for in best players (goal kicking, team work, heart, making the most of your ability).

                        These lists could will always create some controversy as we all see something different in the players we pick and overlook.

                        Perhaps the lists could be based on:

                        Making most of limited ability;

                        Best left foot kicks ( the only good kicks in the game)

                        Best marking players

                        Players who played for the jumper / team

                          You'd have top scrap Rantall and Williams out of your top 10 then, and Rhys-Jones and Teaser in your hear misses for starters.
