I'd say it'd have to go pretty damn close. Other contenders?
84’ maybe?

Interested in more discussion on this - some like RiG say Hammond was best, whilst I've read others who rate Carey's 6 goals from centre half forward as BOG. I was too young to see the 1973 GF live, so I'm interested a comparison.
Also, interested in Rex Voight's performance - how did this stack up in comparison? 7 goals is up there in terms of GF goalscoring, and if we're considering retrospective Jack Oatey medals, then goalscorers tend to be favourably looked on.

Darel Hart scored 7 goals from 11 kicks in 1991 and was given the Jack Oatey Medal when Tim Perkins was almost everyone else's choice and Michael Parsons was very good in 1987, but North gave their award to Michael Redden and others thought Steven Sims or even a young D Jarman was North's best.
And did Neville Roberts score 6 in 1984? Keith Thomas was clearly b.o.g.
And did Rick Neagle score 6 in 1982? I am not sure about that, but Danny Jenkins was clearly b.o.g. and got the medal

A point the difference when the siren sounded. 267 points scored, 67 scoring shots.
Two sides attacking all day. All the skills fans love about our game on show.

The insight you bring that most historical writings don't is invaluable.

Funny how as a young buck we think our club has all the best players and all others are rubbish, but with age comes the realization that we’ve been blessed to see so many amazing players regardless of who they played for. Read a FB post this morning attached to the NFC about Mark Naley and was great to see how highly praised he was by opposition supporters.

Yep, the Victorian bog heaps and their style would’ve suited Macca to a tee. Really think he would’ve dominated over there.Magellan wrote:JK wrote:Yeah I often think about those years and medalists, and how they could all have been right up there in a Brownlow count (well hard to say about Macca, but when Dermie says he was the best player he saw to never play VFL/AFL you’d have to think he would have gone alright).
McIntosh was born to play in the mud heap grounds in suburban Melbourne, plus he was quick, skilled, and of course tough. Would've definitely dominated in Victoria, and perhaps could've jagged a Brownlow.
