Well i am only thirty so the players who i have seen in my lifetime and come to mind would be:

Matty Knights
Paul Broderick
Leon Cameron

In the past from what i have seen on replays, it would be also hard to go past

Bartlett
Rioli
Ian Stewart

Tivenda... oops sorry  ;D Matty Knights is the first person that comes to mind not that i think he'd be the most skillful, just that i thought of him straight away. Definately up there. Kicking, Handballs, his third eye ability was uncanny.

Raines senior was freakishly balanced, never looked like he was falling or had missed a step if you know what i mean. Had a way of sticking low to the ground keeping his centre of gravity intact.

I wonder if anyone can shed light on any of the skill merchants from previous era's ala Dyer's years?

From the past that I saw play : Cameron, Rioli, Knights, Bartlett and Geoff Raines

Current: Browny (freakish skills), Meyer and Casserly.

Tempted to put Lids in there too but he was slightly off his best with his disposal this year.

According to the AFL Record our two most efficient kicks were Knobel (100%) and Humm (88%)  :lol.

I thought that was Sugar lol.

Nah Cass has got the goods as far as footskills. Hopefully the OP he had is now managed and he can have a injury-free run at it all in 2007.
