But for safest probably Royce

Richo, hands down.

Grimes one of the best in our current team.

Actually thought Rance was very good in the second half of his career.

Other guys from my lifetime...I think A Kellaway had decent hands. Deledio was good too.

True that, slight stretch for me as an '88 kid but I do remember his last year's a bit.

He's not in the same stratosphere as Richo/Royce etc
Like comparing Winx and a maiden at Manangatang

I don't mind the Lids call....pound for pound the best all-round mark I saw

Post by: lamington on January 30, 2022, 09:51:39 PM: By default Richo but also I want to bring up martin for making defenders poo themselves (was it Darcy Byrne jones in 2020?) when the ball is coming in hot and it’s 1vs1 with dusty

Post by: WilliamPowell on January 31, 2022, 11:47:25 AM: I thought Darren Gasper had a very safe and reliable pair of hands

Ditto Francis Bourke in his prime
