Hi Guys,

I thought it would be good to get everybodys favourite/most respected VFL player/s.

It is clear the days of 200 VFL game players in the future will be non existent.

Shooter McMahon would be my choice.

My favourite is David Gallagher...and prior to him Chad Liddell...triple premiership captain

Most respected from another team would be Orren Stephenson from North Ballarat...Matt Little also up there

Wont get an argument from me re the first two but Saadi Ghazi surprises me. I only saw a bit of him during the Roosters early years & always found him to be a ball player who attacked the footy ferociously.
Did get to meet him a few times during his coaching stint & always found him to be a good bloke.
Don't know too much about Schaeffer but Burnell was hard at it, not enough to get up my nose though.

reckon i might know you robbo if your from frankston :beer: pk was a great player for sandy -handball rocket

Chad Liddell would be the best all round player and leader Sandy has had over the last 20 years by a country mile

Jack Aziz Willy/Werribee was another that impressed me a lot.

Marc Greig,Spider Maloney and John Polkinghorne have been great players for the Roosters.
