Michael Trussell

Gavin Wanganeen unlucky to miss out on top five!



:shock:

Your kidding youself MC, Trussell at five............ obviously not as highly regarded around the club, as most others would consider him in your top 2!


He is a gun for sure but I'm pretty happy with him at five, mainly due to him being just a back flanker. ;)

Give us your top five mate!

mate would even like to try..... hard to say from 100 years of footy, especially given i only be around for 27 of those (mut admit the first few years are a bit vague) but if I had to list a few that spring to mind: Todd Thorne and Greg Tucker would be certain starters. Give me a few days MC and I'll get back to you on that one mate

Yeah well I'm one year younger than you old mate, hence, most of those are from the nineties and 200's. Except for Shagga but thats a given that he is number one! Anyone who plays 550 games winning 11 B&F's spanning over 30 years deserves that title.

would have played atleast 100 games for EPFC IIRC and was also topped the CDFA leading goalkickers regulary, always remember when he trialled at Norwood he broke all their running records at the time on his first night there. Probably because he was a garbo collecter chasing after the bloody garbage trucks all day. Can't remember quiet what happened but thinks didn't work out at Norwood for personal reasons.

Very hard to pick when a club has been around for decades'

For me with Broadview

John Riley
Daryl Wintle
Rian Hornhardt
Steve Wintle
Andrew McIntyre

on picking those players most were with the Juniors and 3 went on to play some great footy in the SANFL and one still has that opportunity

I reckon a bloke by the name of John Jan kicked 150+ in 1984 playing for Port Wakefield - not sure if that's the record though

Might be a record in Two Wells' time in the APFL but I played in the Wakefield team that year (1984) and he definitely kicked 150ish. I wonder where the official records are?

Locky, what were you thinking man, putting Wank in your top 5. He won't shut up now so if he finds out he's rated at #4, FCS we'll never hear the end of it.
Maybe Charlie will get the sh*ts on too, not rating a mention.
