He won the hawks the flag in 08, hands down one of the best team and individual performances ever. Also his winning goal against the Crows at Ammi in the same year, that will forever stick in my mind as one of the best moments in the AFL ever, i'll never forget that

Also Lance Franklin, mainly because of his winning goal against the crows in 2007, My most favourite AFL match of all time, cannot count how many times i've watched it on Youtube.



Luke Hodge? Lance Franklin? Sheesh.

SNAP!

Captain Courageous ;;)



indeed. he was our captain when i started getting into footy, and he just stood out to me as, not an out-and-out superstar, but the courage and work ethic was amazing.

he's still my favourite player ever. although, give it a few years, and joely selwood may very well take his place!

Damn straight. If the 90's generation of children don't grow up with back problems, they weren't proper football fans.

I stood him in my first game of A Grade footy and he kicked 8 goals on me in a half. I didn't feel so bad when he later went on to kick 13 goals on Silvagni.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
