I can't believe there are people on this thread trying to compare the GREATEST full forward of all time with Barry Hall. Loved Hall at the Swans but he isn't anywhere near Lockett. I think people need to go back and watch Tony destroy teams. Yes he was a more dominant player for the sinners (kicked 10 or more goals on 22 occasions and averaged 7.27 in 89') but i believe he became a better overall player at the Swans. He is with Paul Kelly the greatest Swan i have seen.
I often give that stat out (double figures 22 times), just incredible. 7 goals or more 72 times is also phenomenal.Bloods

Have got a funny story related to this.
I was at a Swans Melbourne function with my pommy sister-in-law. It was toilet break time and everyone was congregating in the foyer. A gaggle of women were clustered around Barassi and the bloke standing next to my pommy sister-in-law said, "He could always do that!!!" My sister-in-law wanting to appear knowledgeable said, "Oh but he's a legend you know!" I looked over a saw she was talking to Bobby Skilton. he always seems to be undervaluedWild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

He was so imposing on the ground. Blind Barry's big shiela compared to Plugger.
I for one was pretty glad he was wearing R&W when he finished his career.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Amazing, Pluggers stats; 10 touches of the ball = 5 goals.
There was a game vs Adelaide, at AAMI park maybe 2006.. when Goodes went to another level. he was unstoppable, one of the best quarters of football I've seen, right when the team needed it most. I think hes a better player now than in the mid naughties.. I'm not a betting guy, but I would put a fiver on him taking home the norm smith if we made it to a granny.Comment

One of those ones that could be debated infinitely, but based on the grainy images I have seen of Skilton, If both were to be having their day, Goodes would come out on top....Goodes on his day will destroy anyone - even the revered GAblett....or anyone for that matter.
That said different times, different values - etc, etc.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Plugger was a legend though obviosuly, just hally worked his butt off. Cant imagine plugger pusing up with the zone like they do these days.
All i remember was the midfield could butcher the ball in any old way and plugger would just get the thing, thought he came back too skinny in 2002 though, wish that comeback had of workedTheres not much left to sayComment
