Battle of the AFL Stars

[Jono]

You're all lucky this is from 96 onwards.

Because the fury this man unleashed on the AFL in 1995 has never been matched since:

Haha, my cricket captain used to get into nightclubs saying he was Stephen Jurica.

Also, one establishment still thinks he's Ben Dixon. Or, more likely, they've caught on that he's not, but don't care and love it how he's always there.

 

[Buddhmaster]

There should be 32 max I reckon. Carey, Voss, Hird, Buckley and maybe a couple of others are the only ones with a realistic chance of winning.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Alright, time to get dinkum.

Sav Rocca
Matthew Pavlich
Glen Jakovich

Like Adem Yze?

 

[vic_orthdox]

OK, I'm going to start a list now, and I'll come back and edit it because I can do it whenever I want, because I'm a mod and you other spuds aren't.

Buckley
Voss
Hird
Akermanis
Pavlich
Brown
Judd
Lloyd
Tredrea

[Hoggy31]

Minton-Connell.

 

[Jono]

If Woewoden and Whitnall makes the list than Matty Richardson makes it!

 

[vic_orthdox]

Edited Clapo's post's arse off.

 

[Jono]

Love your work Jack.

And lol @ your friend pretending to be Jurica. He's actually a lawyer now, absolutely hilarious. A mate of mine sent him a letter saying how he's our hero, seeing as we're both doing law degrees and adored him in 95.

Biggested one year wonder replacement for Richo I've ever seen.

 

[chaminda_00]

LOL at all the crappy Lions and Carlton players on the list. Seriously if your going to do it proper you should take out half those jokers.

 

[Johnners]

haha, the list will be culled. But really, you should be hung if your calling any of Voss, Aker, Leppa, Lynch, Brown or Lappin crappy.

 

[vic_orthdox]

OK, go back to the first post to have a look.

 

[Jono]

Post-95 all those Lions players have been great. Partcularly the fab-4.

Lappin has been so consistent for so long

 

[pasag]

Seriously though:

Nathan Burke
Chris Grant
Paul Kelly
Garry Hocking
Luke Darcy
Joe Misiti
Dustin Fletcher
Shannon Grant
Josh Francou
Barry Hall
Jason Dunstall (retired end of 98)
Glenn Archer
Jeff White
Mark Mercuri
Wayne Campbell

Open to debate tbh.

Refering more to the Carton players TBH. Also Essendon were quite brilliant during that period. Sydney and West Coast have also been brillant in the last couple seasons.

 

[Jono]

4 flags in the period

 

[Jono]

And if you want an Essendon player, look no further then...

 

[vic_orthdox]

Seriously though:

Nathan Burke

Great servant, not quite good enough for me though.

Chris Grant

Yes

Paul Kelly

Maybe, although straddles the time period a bit.

Garry Hocking

Yes. Something like 6 top 3 finishes in the Brownlow. Silly.

Luke Darcy

No.

Joe Misiti

No

Dustin Fletcher

Maybe. Very consistent, but never ever been the best fullback in the competition at any one time. I'd still slip him in, just.

Shannon Grant

No.

Josh Francou

No.

Barry Hall

Consideration.

Jason Dunstall (retired end of 98)

Not long enough, IMO.

Glenn Archer

Yes.

Jeff White

No. Too much of a yoyo form-wise, much like Melbourne till two years ago.

Mark Mercuri

No.

Wayne Campbell

Harsh, but no.

Cousins and Judd only for WCE. Kerr misses out, but not by a huge amount. Just not enough season under his belt of really top class football, even though he's probably been playing longer than Judd, Judd's a class above.

Hall only Swan that would make it close to the top 50 players of the last 10 years, which is no insult and I think the Swans heirarchy would take it as a compliment in many ways. No other side has been better at doing team things in that same period.
