Difficult task you set Boon. I did not ever see Polly Farmer play...... but by all reports!! Throw in Barry Cable, Stephen Michael as well. Lets not forget Maurice Rioli while we stroll down memory lane.

However I have settled on more modern day players for the sake of the exercise.

1. Wanganeen. Freak even at 16 when he first played for Port in SANFL.
2. Franklin.
3. S Burgoyne
4. Goodes - as much as I don't care for the bloke
5. Cyril

Special mentions to Nicky Winmar, Michael Long & Peter Matera.

Mcleod while a damn good player, I did not include. I guess my memories of him, include him playing off half back when he couldn't shake a tag in the mids. It's difficult to shake a tag when you walk around the ground though!

Cyril is an interesting one. Very good player, but I see him in the o’loughlin group. In the sense they are very good but not in the mix in this discussion.

Fair Enough - I found the 5th one the hardest to determine.... yes I stayed close to what I know..... you could throw a heap of them in there & still be correct.

Im going to throw Michael Graham in there as growing up he was my favourite non Norwood player despite playing for the fairies [emoji3]

Excellent call .. He was my favourite non-Norwood player too

Polly Farmer and then daylight for me.

Of players I've seen easily Adam Goodes, used to love Michael Graham and Wilbur Wilson in the SANFL too.
Always love Eddie Bette's too.

Some great guernseys and ordinary ones, simple is better.
Crows is a great piece of art but awful football guernsey, too busy.

Brisbane the standout with Sydney and West Coast also fantastic.

Good: Geelong,Gold Coast, Nth Melbourne, St Kilda, Bulldogs

Ratshit: the rest. Especially disappointed with the Power as they had the best not long ago.

[carey]

You negative towards the Power geez what a surprise.

I agree with him this time. Not Port’s best effort this time around. They normally have one of the better ones

[Armchair expert]

Bugger Zac Jones not playing, always enjoy his turnovers

[The Dark Knight]

My top 5-
1. Shaun Burgoyne, one of my most favourite players of all time
2. Lance Franklin
3. Byron Pickett
4. Gavin Wanganeen
5. Leon Davis

Brisbane's is my favourite indigenous jumper this season.

[Wedgie]

You negative towards the Power geez what a surprise.

Stupid comment, on this very site I said when they had the best indigenous guernsey not long ago. Why would I have said that if I'm negative towards the Power? As a person of indigenous descent I have a lot of time for the Powers indigenous program as I think it's the best in the country.
And I will never forget 2007and be eternally thankful to them for that marvellous day

[twe]

no particular order the best 5 I can remember in my time watching footy
Afl
Andrew Mcloud
Adam Goodes
Peter Matera
Shaun Burgyone
Gavin Wanganeen

Pre Afl
Polly Farmer (via youtube)
Michael Graham
Krackour brothers
Maurice Rioli
Wilbur Wilson

Having said that many others from the modern era as in Cyril Rioli Micky O Chris Johnson Eddie Betts Byron Picket Peter Burgyone Graham Johncock Michael Long Nicky Winmar
just to name a few very hard but good topic for debate .


On another note I read or herd some where about St Marys footy club up in Darwin being a good breeding ground for indigenous players I would like to the Mallee Park up Pt Lincon way would be up there as well . Does any one have any stats on this ?

Good chance, could definitely play

[MW]

Couldn't coach I can confirm that part

[Spargo]

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned Barry Cable or Michael McLean.
