afl legends question

[terry smith rules]

not sure if this has been discussed before ... but

went to the MCG sports museum on Saturday (it is fantastic)

but wandering around the AFL legends section I wondered why Plugger is not a legend yet, surely if Coventry, Coleman are then he should be

is it just too soon since he stopped playing

[Schillaci]

Should be.
As far as I'm aware the great Trevor Barker isn't even in the Hall of Fame.
Needs to be fixed.

I think he will be waiting a while. There can only be one for every 10 Hall of famers. They couldnt even have one last year.

The issue with the hall of fame as I see it , is that because it has only been existence for a short time (in the overall history of the game) , they are never going to catch up with the older players

In other words many great players from the past will simply miss out as they only induct a few each year, so for instance how does Kouta get in, but no Mark Mclure (if you take the carlton as an example). Answer came from the wrong era

I have the feeling- would need to check but
Legends are restricted to 1 to ??? of hall of Fame members- I think 1 : 25 but don't quote me

so you need 25 members for every legend.

Plugger will get there.
Just a question of when.
