If you have Riccutio, Buckley, Kelly, Judd, Black, Aker, Harvey, Ablett Jnr, Crawford and co then Ben Cousins should certainly be on that list.

Good player certainly, but Modra doesn't belong on that list (IMHO)

I agree. Mods was good but not up there with the elite.
This is pretty much same as saying who's the best player of the last 20 years, as such i would have to say Carey, followed very closely by Ablett Snr.

Am i wrong in saying Robert Harvey should replace Modra on that list. Class, Longevity, and a great bloke to go with it.

I agree Mods shouldn't be on that list.

The thing is, Lockett and Dunstall were unquestionably better footballers than Modra, so given he's not in the top 2 full forwards of the last 20 years, there's no way he can be the best footballer of the last 2 decades.

I voted
Ablett
Carey
SOS
And Ablett Jr.
I have never been an Ablett fan but to me even though he didn't win a flag he was one of the best ever. In his younger days he could play anywhere. Blight put him at Full Forward and he excelled there.

So Martin Pike's better than Carey?
Ablett won more Norm Smith's I reckon
