The Best In Your Lifetime?
« on: August 13, 2008, 07:10:02 AM »
Reading the J. Brown thread with interest and Daniel/Bentleigh's posts have piqued my curiosity.  Who is the best player you have seen in your lifetime (a) in the league and (b) for Richmond?  Rule is only 1 pick for each, I'm not interested in him and him and him from him and him and him - you only get 1 crack at the title.  Mine are:

C. Judd
K. Bartlett

gee Smokey how l'm gunna cram all the good players l seen in my lifetime into 1 player
l thought you would have said Greg Williams seeing you couldnot catch him  ;D  :thumbsup

growing up the style & pace of the game has changed so much

l have some favorites but my best would be Robert Harvey St-Kilda because l spent 20 years of my 43 watching him.
He works hard off the ground as he does on it, overcome injuries & dual Brownlow Medallist & can still be damaging.
great family man who never put himself first before the club he played for  :clapping

No doubt at all about Richmond best player was Kevin Bartlett in my era & today, l never seen anyone ever read the game from packs like him & sprint away in a era where fitness was not at a strict athletic standard. He had fish & chips every friday night, well most families did in them days it was a highlight of the week. Games were on every Saturday,  You never had to worry about him over useing the ball cause he never give it to anyone & he kicked the goals you wanted him too which earned him the tag of Hungry  ;D
He has given back to football what he got out of it, which makes me admire the man of his achievements in life. Great Champion  :bow

James Hird (yes I know but he had the best football brain that Ive seen) and for the Tigers probably
Kevin Bartlett (although I was born in 1974 and most of his best work was late 60's early 70's....

1965

Best I've actually seen Ablett snr, Keith Grieg, Robbie Flower - The later 2 just 2 who I remember as mesmerising.
Ablett an obvious choice for most, the others just stick in my memory.
