Now change your vote that sympathy inst required.

I have to choose Neita just for the towering beauty of his drop punt. He kicked them high and with a lot of spin which is aesthetically so pleasing. He honestly could have added at least 10 meters or more with a flatter, lower-spinning flight; but I’m glad he didn’t.

 

[Headless]

Close one!

 

[Scythe94]

Close one!

Supermercado returned to vote for Neita, surely that's worth 10

 

[King Kunta]

Oliver's GF goal is my favourite sporting moment of all time. The image of him turning and raising a finger to the crowd is permanently burnt into my brain. He could spend the rest of his career snapping windscreen wipers off cars and sleeping on Max's couch and I'd still vote for him just for that.

he was pointing to the guy whos windscreen wipers he snapped.

As a kid two of my favourites where Davey and Neita. I love Oliver but nothing beats the towering presence of Captain Neitz in the forward line. Could be a big brute of a forward and then the most humble guy you'd meet off the field

Arguably the hole he's left in the forward line that hasn't been filled since

[booshboy]

That's rough. Longevity gives Ooze the edge IMO.

 

[Scythe94]

 

[Headless]

And so it begins.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Another tough choice, but have to go Yze.

Neitz, Yze, Gawn and Trac seem like the obvious final four.

Edit: I forgot Jones. Maybe he could edge out Yze.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Jeff was a bit more entertaining.

But I'm going to go with ooze, purely because I dislike players going to freo over the years

 

[jhong]

Both were great players . If it was for who played the longest Yze would get my vote , but it isn't , so Farmer by a whisker for me .

 

[Topkent]

I can't ever vote against farmer he was my first Melbourne hero

 

[Headless]

Great match-up, this one.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

The board has 10 people in the Ku Klux Klan voting against Farmer I see, wow, I knew we had some nasty people around here but didn't realise it was that many..disgusting.

You need to go on BLM marches with myself and TK to cleanse your soul.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Another vote for one of Galvin Parks finest.

 

[Scythe94]

Hurry up and reach a consensus so that I can make a guilt-free decision please

 

[stEdy]

WIZ NOW

 

[Daemon]

The wiz. Entertainment value, always pretended to be him when I was a kid.

 

[Toump Ass]

NAILBITER!!!
