WTF ?

KB by a country mile !
None of those players make my top 20 apart from Weightman but then I also didn't vote for KB in the ball magnet thread and I saw a lot of his career. Are you a ball magnet when your team mates feed u the ball all day ? Nope , Wayne Campbell was quite clearly more of a ball magnet than KB but.... footy smarts is definitely KB and by a long way.
If there was a sniff of a goal he knew exactly where to go to receive the handball so that he could kick the goal himself and his ability to use his smarts to crumb a pack so that he could have a shot for goal was amazing.

KB can't win every Poll. Brodders by a Nullabor Kilometer. Crafty as they come and always knew where to be and where to get the footy to.

To not have KB on this list is quite ridiculous.
This whole perfect tiger thing is to put it bluntly, dumb!!!

I voted for Brodders.  Never wasted a possession and every time he had the ball in had he put it to advantage. :clapping

Tom Hafey is a great call for a non-player with footysmarts by the shed load!
But of the players - its KB again!  Was so smart with holding the man/ball they had to change the rules!  He had all types of smarts - uncanny anticipation, lightning fast thinker with a freakish sixth sense for a goal.  Best crumber off the pack at full speed that I've ever seen & that just screams footysmarts!       

All hail the little master!   :bow

Special mentions for Maurice Rioli & Flea.  Kevin Sheedy is still smarter than the smartest fox.  Second only to Hafey.    ;D

Actually shady Sheedy is a great call!  He should have been on the list!
