640 goals as a small forward is very impressive and worthy of inclusion.
Let alone the entertainment value.
Pavlich, Goodes, Riccuito unluckyâŚCox high for a ruck.
Brad Johnson very lucky to be there.

Good shout on Goodes. He should definitely be in there. Two brownlows in different positions.

Really?
I dislike Brad Johnson as much as anyone but his numbers stack up. 558 goals including a bunch of years (2002-2009) where he was averaging about 20 disposals and 2 goals per game.
They are seriously elite numbers. I get why Lloyd included him.
Yeah, strange call.
Simon Black, Dane Swan, Matthew Pavlich, Shaun Burgoyne, Adam Goodes, Barry Hall, Robert Harvey and Scott West are all ahead of Brad Johnson.
Also, Dustin Martin doesnât qualify. Debuted in 2010. Lloyd retired in 2009.
Garbage list, really.
EDIT - Wait a minute. Bont debuted 5 years after Lloydy retired. What does Lloyd mean by âtime in the game?â

Forwards are always going to rate other forwards high, as they watch them closely and appreciated the things that they do. Just as a mid would have a different lens and produce a different list with less forwards in it.

Kane supporting Essendon felt dirty⌠but he was our Dirty Kane⌠turned out he cursed us & we didnât actually Essenton ourselves.

Some bloke walks out of the pub and trips over onto the footpath. Thugs gather around and stick the boot in until he is senseless on the ground.
Essendon is that poor bloke. The thugs are the footy media.
Except people get sick of Essendon stories and clicks are dwindling.
Enter Bailey Smith the blond bombshell. So according to a recent article Smith is single handedly destroying the legendary Geelong culture with social media posts. As of this day, not one AFL player is LGBTIQ+. But apparently Smith is sowing seeds of doubt.
If you ever had any doubt the AFL media snorts clicks for pleasure, just read that BS article.
I donât totally hate CORN like some do but gee youâve got to laugh especially at the last line in this article.
A year ago heâs cackling away each week on the Channel 9 Sunday Footy Show Panel after Nathan Brownâs Media-Ocre segment airs and joining in on the ribbing and now he reckons itâs stupid cos theyâve had him in the gun a couple of times lol
Cornes fired up over âgotchaâ tactics from SEN colleagues
Kane Cornesâ early-season opinion on Collingwood has led to an on-air row, with Cornes accusing his colleagues of throwing him âunder a big, fat bus.â

Kane Cornes has lashed out at colleagues on his radio station saying âweâre supposed to be a team in hereâ rather than throwing each other âunder a big fat busâ.
The polarising commentator took a moment out of Trade Radio talk to respond to SENâs The Run Home program doing a segment mocking his opinion from the start of the season that Collingwood looked too old, slow, underprepared and unfit.
Cornes and Sam Edmund played Tuesdayâs clip on their show Thursday morning.
âI reckon (the comments) it aged pretty well,ââ Cornes said.

âIf youâre going to do a gotcha segment and if youâre going to pull out audio and receipts from people that actually have opinions and donât sit on the fence and in the end it ages exceptionally well ⌠and Nick Daicos actually agreed with that opinion that perhaps he wasnât as well as prepared as he could be, at least make sure the receipts are correct.
âWeâre supposed to be a team in here, now if you want to do a Nathan Brown Media-Ocre style gotcha media segment I would suggest you do it on people that donât work in the same building as you. Or have some opinions yourself and letâs hold you to account at the back end of your opinions.â
Cornes was desperate to appear correct on Collingwood, saying âinjuries did come back to bite them and they did crash out towards the back end of the season as much as they did make a prelimâ.
He added: âNot sure it was the gotcha moment that they thought it would be and Iâm just not sure we want to be throwing our own people under a big fat bus each and every week.â

Cornes said The Run Home did the same thing last week to his breakfast co-host David King.
Edmund pointed out that Julian de Stoop does âcalm down fellas, not you got it wrongâ, but Cornes was fired up.
He also delivered a further drive-by to Nathan Brownâs segment.
âIf you want to sit on the fence and have no one question anything that you ever say, go and listen to Julian de Stoop,ââ he said.
âIf you want to have an opinion and put yourself at risk of being made to look foolish then have an opinion. Each to their own, but not sure we want to be chucking each other under a bus.
âThey did it to Kingy the week before. Iâm like hang on, what are they stitching up Kingy for, he works here? Itâs not Nathan Brown with that stupid stuff he does on Channel 9, itâs actually SEN.â
Meh.
The sooner the AFL media (and broader sports media) stop trying to make themselves the story, the better.

My only issue with Cornes is that his head looks disproportionally large. Too large for his body.

People really need to stop taking what Cornes says seriously. Heâs been open in saying he styled himself from Seppo shock jocks, I doubt he believes half the â â â â he spews

Didnât he celebrate the receipts he kept for saying Adelaideâs 3 tall fwd line wouldnât stand up in finals? You win some you lose some mate.
Yep he was talking that up today about how he nailed that one
His argument is poorly thought out though because Hawthorn who beat the Crows played a taller forward line in Lewis, Chol and Gunston vs Thilthorpe, Fogarty and Walker.
Ysah what was all that about. It was supposed to be just a fun game?

Hopefully ppl can stop wanking over Dermott Brereton playing a game with broken ribs, given a 53 year old vegan comedian did the same?
