Top 10 that you've seen in the SANFL..

How many drop kicks in that piece of film?

How were the razor sharp stab passes no higher than waist level? I always recall the classic comment from Jack Oatey about Bagshaw, "He could drop kick a pea up a fowl's bum and not ruffle a feather"

That footage is awesome .. Having not seen him play, I'd almost been under the impression he must have been a receiver with beautiful skills - Pigs ass!! Looked like a genius at winning the contested footy and almost impossible to tackle - In fact in some of that footage it almost looked as though when teammates were under the pump they were thinking "just got the ball to Bagshaw" and he would sort it out.

Glad I got to see Bagshaw and Ebert play when I first got into footy as a six year old in 1977. Missed Robran and Marker in their prime (big regret). Cornes, Davies, Taylor, Graham, Hodgeman, Carey, Roberts, Cunningham, Evans, Wynne, Dunstan etc were the stars of that late 70s era, a great era of footy as Adelaide Hawk said.

I remember watching the highlights of a Sturt v Centrals game in 1978 (might have been 1979) at Unley and Bagshaw kicking three 1st quarter goals in those light blue boots of his. Even as a seven year old you could see he was a player of exceptional skill.

Wasn't hard to get kooked on footy in those years with that quality of players running around.

Top ten from Port...

An interesting post this. The amount of times I went to Port games and hear the Port supporters getting stuck into 'Doreen' always amazed me. He is just the type of footballer that Norwood were crying out for during the late eighties to mid nineties. We had to recruit West from Glenelg before we could raise the red and the blue again.

Here's mine

1. Kernahan
2. McIntosh
3. Platten
4. Bagshaw
5. Bradley
6. Aish
7. Ebert
8. Taylor
9. A Jarman
10. D Jarman


Not saying that those above Bagshaw and Ebert are necessarily better but I only saw them towards the end of their career and not while they were in their prime.
