Barry Hall
Justin Peckett

As for order of merit, my top 5:

Lockett
Harvey
Riewoldt
Hayes
Goddard
Yeah Steven, Baker and Dempster being in the best 20 players of the last 33 years doesn’t seem to sit well with me either.

As well as the 3 you mentioned above, I think Andrew Thompson and Luke Ball both deserve a look too.

Steven has 4 B&Fs. You may not rate him but history will.

Steven has 4 B&Fs. You may not rate him but history will.
And Goddard, Dal Santo, Milne, Montagna and Gehrig have zero between them.

B&Fs are only as good as the team they’re from.

You could argue any of those ... or Andrew Thompson or Jason Blake or quite a few others. These lists are just to create debate really.

But Steven deserves his spot, I think, and Baker and Dempster were at least worthy candidates. Not glamorous players, more tough and dependable.

1. Plugger - best player to play the game full stop. The best goal-kicking technique and accuracy ever. Plus the fact the team was so s*** when he played was an even more incredible feat.

2. Harvey

3. Roo

4. Underrated - the best small forward to ever play the game.

Good effort, Goddard just squeezes out Wulf IMO and Lenny and Nicky swap spots for mine.

Nobody should ever leave us, as evidenced by where Goddard is placed or not placed on people's lists.
People acting like spurned lovers when it was the club that forced his exit.
To place him below Milne for one is a joke.
Just view the three GF's they played in and the answer will be there.

Yes I am aware of Milne's goal-kicking record at Docklands!
