James Hird regularly says that Fletch is the best he’s played with.
Considering the talent that jimmys played along side that’s a fair compliment.

People cant get passed their hate for Richmond i think. Rance is a phenomenal footballer, You need to watch him live to really appreciate how good he is.

Rance is a gun, but he’s no Fletcher.
The question should just be who’s the best defender ever, defined by determining who has the greatest net score involvements from actions in the back 50. Might be a tall or might be a small/medium. My guess is Fletch would win.
How many certain (lol) goals Fletch touch?
You got that from the 95 final v Richmond? I watch it and it makes me want to stick my head in an oven.
What about Hirdy as fullback? Was it the final in '96 against the Eagles when he ended up at FB on Sumich…and kicked a goal?

Hirdy was sent to Ablett Snr in R6 1993 when Ablett kicked 14. Big ask to try and stop that bloke that day.
