Who is the best Norwood player YOU HAVE SEEN ??

My vote is Phil Carmen , reminded me a bit of myself ....

Tie between Michael Nunan and Stephen Kerley.

Andrew Jarman

Phil Carmen was super fit for his time and was a champion. Phil Gallagher had mesmerising skills and was brilliant to watch. Macca and Turbill for shear guts. If I had to choose one I guess it would be Carmen when in full flight.

Is this another thread to entice back Adelaide Hawk?

I vaguely remember Carman as a small kid, so I will go for him. Surprised I haven't seen McIntosh yet - if he had gone to Victoria he would have had the career of his contemporaries who did go.

Edit: I didn't see "Macca" referenced in the post above.

Best that i have seen would be Michael Aish.

Aish, McIntosh, Turbill, Gallagher, Woodcock. Not old enough to have seen Fabulous Phil alas.

Phil CARMAN easily

This might bring Adelaide Hawk back
next best
Aaron Keating

Graham MOLLOY was brilliant
Greg TURBILL might have been near the best but for dicky knees and 08 in those days
Gary MCINTOSH about 2nd best
Michael TAYLOR was very good
Robert OATEY was a great rover
Hayden BUNTON went very well

Just before my time was Bill WEDDING who was good

Ive probably missed a few, will change if convinced.

No votes for JASON MILLAR?

From the rest...

MICHAEL AISH.

He was that good I can even forgive him for his dummy spit after Port were granted the second AFL licence in 1994.

But not for the five goals he kicked while playing with a broken hand in the 1987 Qualifying Final.

Michael Aish and Gary McIntosh - 2 of the best players I have seen

Are you serious Mal, great coach but did very little for Norwood as a player.

Anthony Harvey & Robbie Neill would have to be two of our best recent(ish) recruits ... Staz would have to be an option for the FB position, as would Jimmy Thiele and Bruce Winter.

My old man still believes John Marriott is the best he saw in the Red and Blue, although he believes Carmen is right there with him.

My best in order would be Macca, Aish, Roberts, Thomas, Taylor ... Young Tony Francis would have been a star if we'd had him for longer (although all clubs can say that about several players).

Damien Nygaard LOL

DES FOSTER !

In my time of watching football regularly Aish just edges out McIntosh for me. Some of the things Aish did simply defied belief.

I know I can speak for Booney in saying that Aishy was his all time Norwood favourite. Couldn't stop talking about him. Reminded me of how mal carries on about KP.

Started watching Norwood in 1976: McIntosh clearly for mine. Without disrespect to Michael Aish or Kingo Taylor.

Macca
then Aish

Lesser known players include Richard Anderson, James Pyke, and Jerry D'Antochia.

Two of our best recruits in the 15 yrs would be Troy Clements and Todd Davey.

1 Carman
2 Aish
3 Hartfield

I'm not a norwood fan, but some blokes that i thought were good (apart from the abvious:- Aish, McIntosh, Gallagher, Button etc. were:
Ian Stasinowski
Mike Poulter
Alby Menzal
and Roger Wood Cock
