Maybe I missed Matthews' more productive years but I don't hold him in the same regard as the other two listed there, perhaps I just didn't like him.


A 5'8" centre man who played 332 games and kicked 915 goals.

Think Simon Black on ball possessions, but with 900 goals. Think Mathew Lloyd goal kicking, but while playing on ball all his career.

Leigh Mathews is, IMO, the greatest to play the game. There was more spectacular, no doubt. There was more brilliant, no doubt. I think this bloke stands head and shoulders (below - lol) above all others.

Behind him the likes of Ablett (x2), Lockett, Dunstall, Carey et al.

You forgot filthy dirty sniper in your career summary of Matthews

Agreed with that, it seems there is very short memories by those at Glenferrie.
