Posted this on BigFooty thought id chuck it on here!!!
Stuffed it up @ the start but fixed it soon after.....but copped the usual "Negative Nigel" comments.....
With the recent word on the grapevine of Ricciuto calling it a day.....thought id add up all the numbers from the 5 greats mentioned above just to let people see the impact they all made on the game.
This is obviously up to round 19 2007,
*Was unable to find the exact number on Robert Harveys possesion count, but i do know its over 9000.
Also some1 mentioned Harves has 210 carrer brownlow votes.....the afl stats page said 205.....so i cant argue with it!!!
Doesnt suprise me Buckley winning.....love him or hate him.....hes a gun!!!!
remember only divide by home and away games not total games harvs has played 14 finals and hes been in the best for all but one (bris at the gabba 2004) of them

Will re-do 2moz unless someone else wants to punch in the numbers

i think you only need too go back and watch the Stk v Ade final from 2005 too see why harvey is the BEST player in that list
in all my years watching the saints that was the greatest performance by a saints player i have seen lockett kick heaps of goals loewe take 18 marks on the SCG but nothing beats harvey nothing
I would argue that the 5 players on this list are the greatest players these clubs have had in their respective histories. Would the rest of the forum agree with this or suggest a superior player?
All of these players would be regarded by their respective club's supporters as being one of the greatest ever I would have thought!

You have a case...
If you include Fitzroy in the Lions history then you are comparing Voss to Hadyn Bunton, Bernie Quinlan and Gary Wilson.
Collingwood have a number of great players from yesteryear including the Coventry brothers.
Essendon have also had a number of great players including Dick Reynolds, John Coleman, Simon Madden and Tim Watson to name a few.

Indeed, but are they better players than the 5 'retiring' legends of present year. I would argue that in 50 years time these 5 will be mentioned in the same breathe as you list above..

Maybe it would be better if you called them '1 of the greatest' rather than 'the greatest'?
I know in Harves' case I would find it difficult to say he was greater tha Baldock or Stewart.

Shame Woewodin stole the 2000 brownlow of him.
you might be,....we aren't...this is a saints site ffs...geeze you are a real pest.....
Indeed it is. Last time i checked Hird, Buckley, Voss, Ricciuto hadn't played for the saints though. Was simply implying there is a fair whack of talent (possibly - in Harveys case) exiting the game this year.
