I see them all as 'ok' but to be honest I just don't see any of them as hall of famers. Just my opinion

From memory he went in with Gary Ablett Snr as there were jokes about Garry's coke addiction and with that female passing away in his room and Carey's well publicized history.

I think he was eligible for a few years before he went in because of his off field stuff.

I was surprised goodwin was inducted this early, but he has played 275 games, dual premiership player, 5 time all australian, 3 time best and fairest, and then moved straight into coaching.

So his record stands up

New inductees all very good players, but don't seem as illustrious, but that's probably where we're at with most of the games elite already in there.

Is the hall of fame like the American ones where you have to be out of the game for 5 years?

Wasn't using any definitions per sé just my own recollections and ratings. Goodwin was an excellent player and does have a great record, but I wouldn't consider him a great of the game like a Doull or Greig or even McLeod. Just my opinion though mate, doesn't mean I'm right

I'm not saying you're wrong mate, just curious to know why we don't perceive recent retired players in the same light as longer time retired players.
I guess if they have to keep pumping in 5-6 players per year, the quality eventually diminishes.

I saw Dennis Cometti was there last night, is he in there? Is there rules about the media being retired?
