Not enough Darren Williams.

Gave some Hawthorn clown the finger during one of the 80ā€™s GFs. That snap wasnā€™t half bad either.

Legend.

Special mention to Smokin Joe Misiti too. Got his autograph growing up and he always remembered my name every Skeeta clinic I attended.

Has anyone listed Simon Madden, Norm Smith medallist and best ever tap ruckman.?

And 575 goals, with that awkward mechanical kicking style that was very accurate.

Great player. I think the reason he didnā€™t quite make my favourites list is that while my imagination could make me think I could pull off some of the things done by some of the players, madden did things that I couldnā€™t even imagine trying - huge leap against an opponent, 360 degree palm down to the smalls, etc. I wanted to have a haircut like TD and kick on the run like Merv, but I never imagined being like Madden. Great player and across his career the most influential Essendon player I reckon Iā€™ve seen.
