just kidding

Rioli was the most skillful I have seen.

J bowden has got the silkiest skills long term at our club. Despite the shortcomings I feel he has in other aspects of his game he is a precise kick. That goal on Easter Monday against St Kilda in 03 when he bauled 3 or 4 times before drilling it was sublime.

Deledio is another one with high skill.

Agree with most about Rioli, Knighter, Cameron by foot but Broderick was a gem by hand no better in heavy traffic....
It's that simple Spud

For pure ability the best players on our list are Nathan Brown and Ben Cousins. In terms of sheer footy ability they are both nailed on All Aussies. Cotchin is the best teenager in the competition.

If you are talking about pure ability from the current list then you must include Richo and Deledio.  In terms of silky skill then it would be the 2 you mention above.  And I agree with Cotchin - he will be included in this list in another year or 2.
