Who would you describe as Cult Heroes of the SANFL?

Not as many as there used to be but Full Forward seem to dominate in my eyes.
Daniel Hargraves is a real cult hero at Prossie at the moment.

Other full forward that spring to mind are Grenville Dietrich and Rudi Mandemaker.
Perhaps Tim Evans, Tim Giniver,Ralph Sewer, Mick Redden, Rocky Roberts, Rick Davies, Max Parker, Craig Balme and Peter Carey too?

There's a great recollection of these sort of players on McAlmanac's site at: http://www.geocities.com/golden_rams_aust/Legends_of_SANFL.html

Seems to be mainly a big man thing, hat do ya reckon?
Perhaps I'll start a poll on the greatest Cult Heroe when we get some nominations.

The Gowans brothers.

Darryl Poole. Ports no.1 cult hero in my time following the club.

As a Victorian I can confirm that Grenville Dietrich was a source of fascination and marvel to us on the other side of the border.
