[PADDLEPOP1001]

Burns & Joffa so hard but maybe Burns but only just
Dal
Spud & Buckets very hard also ,Buckets because CHF & Than FF with his kicking just showed how hard he worked ,Spud a different sort of legend Leader/Backman !

[roskilde]

At his best Goddard was capable of the game changing and sublime so I'll pick him over Dal the skillful workhorse.

[shanegrambeau]

Danny Craven vs Brett Bowey

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Bowser!

[shanegrambeau]

Pekin vs Peckett

[Enrico_Misso]

Robert Keeble or Rodney Gladman?

[Trev from the Bush]

Burns
Loewe
Goddard

Frawley over Buckets?

That one shocks me, would be interested to know why?

I'd have Buckets over Frawley 100 out of 100 picks, and I'm not bagging Spud either he was a fine player, I just don't think he was in Loewes class.

[darylcowie]

David Wittey or Daryl Cowie?

I looked at it this way, if Buckets had to play on Spud, who would I back to take the honours?

50 50 to my way of thinking.

Spud beat the best going around in his day and on his day.

I’m inclined to agree. Further to that, IMO you should always take a good forward ahead of a good defender

[shanegrambeau]

Max Walker - Gary Gilmour

Bernard Julian - Keith Boyce

Aussie Jones - Joel Smith

When these pros have a similar profile it intrigues me that we rush to dwell on who is better, so we get our orders in order..ha..

Part of being a fan.

[Enrico_Misso]

David Wittey or Daryl Cowie?

Didn't Plugger get reported for striking Wittey in an intraclub practise game?

Burns easy surprises me . Cunningham played for Vic 8 times, Burns never did but won 2 B &F'. Could go either way but would never thought easily?

I saw just about every game they both played and for me Burns was a far more effective player. I always thought Cunningham was overrated by many. He had poor disposal and wasted the ball frequently. Maybe Burns wasn't selected for Victoria because there were so many other top players playing in the centre during his time. I am surprised Cunningham was selected so many times but the competition for wing spots was less fierce.

I kinda assumed or thought Frankie Coghlan was a like-for-like replacement for Joffa Cuningham. Both wiifull, courageous and energetic, both knowing they were no Nicky W, but skillful and give it all enough to make a great contribution.

Frankie Coghlan was a very useful player and possibly underrated.
