Can't speak for P66 or Stinger, but I'm not old enough to have seen my first game... otherwise I'd have myself on this list. :wink:

1 Baldock (the only one I didn't see.)
2 Lockett
3 Harvey
4 Riewoldt
5 McIntosh
6 Young, G
7 Hayes
8 Barker
9 Winmar (Could be higher if rated only for skill, but I still rate him as the 2nd best indiginous player I've seen, behind Maurice Rioli - RIP)
10 Lawrence, B

Apologies: Fisher, Superduper, Burnsy, Cowboy, McNamara.


PS: The fact that Spider, with all his talent, isn't on anyone's list says something...

I started going in 1989, so of the ones in my time:

1. Plugger
2. Harvs
3. Riewoldt
4. Winmar
5. Loewe
6. Goddard
7. Burke
8. Hayes
9. Gehrig
10. Grant

I saw Barks, but only in his last year; otherwise I'm sure he'd be in there. I'm sure I've omitted plenty of worth contenders too, like Hudghton.

10 is not enough, unless you are very young. Id also say what about Hamill or Barry Breen?

When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

I know it is only an opinion but surely Rooy could at least get in your others especially as you have Allan Murray and Steve Lawrence in there.
