You cannot leave the Doc out. Plugger won his Brownlow in the #14, and he was a much better #14 than Luke Ball.

A diffficult one as we are all different ages, different perceptions.

I'll throw in a few more:

8. Glenn Elliot (apologies to Max). Glenn was a brilliant centre. Able to get high 30's or 40 odd possessions a game.

27. George Young. A calssy forward

29. Russell Greene. Still miffed with him being traded.

60. Robbert Mace. Although he ended up playing in 7, he was as good a number 60 as we ever had.

I am still hurting from 71;
my gut churns thinking of 97;
2009 was agony,
2010a was a pleasure to watch only to be devastated by 2010 b.
It hurts barracking for the Saints

And if there are apologies for Blake for #27 then the brilliant George Young deserves an even bigger sorry.

Spot on, IMO Doc was the greatest Saint adn Plugger teh greatest #14.

And I might humbly suggest that the following from our golden Premiership era are greater than those you've nominated, plus a couple more from the 70's/80's off the top of my head:-

Alan Morrow in #8
Ian Synman in #9
Brian Sierakowski in #13
Ian Cooper in #15
Travis Payze in @20
George Young in #27
Darryl Griffiths in #27
Robert Elphinstone in #33
Wayne Judson in #42

What # were Brian Gleeson, Bill Young, Neil Roberts and Eric Guy?

And surely there has been a better #17 than Rod Keogh?
Rodney Galt????

Not too bad an effort I reckon. As I scanned down the obvious differences would've been Plugger at 14 and Elphingstone at 33 but they've already been commented on.

For the real old timers, Bruce Philips would out Rod Keogh at 17. Anybody remember the game where he lent the goal post over, so a certain goal became a point to Carlton?
