They're probably pretty fair comparisons, if you're a Carlton supporter. Let's face it, there aren't too many modern comparisons, and it probably doesn't mean much to compare him to Baldock, Cable or Bartlett, because they're from another generation. Also, not everyone barracks for the Saints (losers)...although I sure hope Ross does!?!
Listen to the rest of it- he says and Harves is ABOVE Those

I’ve said it in the past but it is self-evident that the best-and-fairests, the Brownlows, the EJ Whitten Medals, great finals performances, like at AAMI Stadium dragging St Kilda across the line ... of the great midfielders and the great runners in Bradley and Ratten and Voss – he stands equal. No-one stands head and shoulders above him.

I would say they would be proud to be associated with Harvey.
S.hit I know i would be.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

some of the game's greatest players ... lockett and ablett senior, for instance ... didn't play in premierships. means nothing to me in ranking them.

Craig Bradley was also an outstanding midfielder who played for as long as he could - both he and Banger were probably 2 of the 3 hardest running midfielders in the 90s (and I reckon Crawford was the other one).
Bradley in the end doesn't hold a candle to the great man!
bobby skilton v matty capuano or aaoron keating anyone...
the point is why did RL mention these 2 in particular when he has no affililiation with carlton? why did he not say ian stuart or bobby skilton or hayden bunton?

I find this difficult to say but B4E is 100% correct.
Your quote says that Harvs is the equal of those. Nobody stands head and shoulders above him. Which leaves open the possibility that others are slightly above him.
Its not a time to be comparing the Great Man to anyone. Let his deeds stand as testament to his greatness.
