Trevor poole?

Liked him as a player. Thought he played his best footy from the half back line.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Was prone to kicking bags of goals from the midfield too. IIRC kicked 5 against sydney, and a  couple of bags of 4 against collingwood and Melbourne circa 1986-7
