These clowns are cooked!
Dillon could be the shortest serving CEO in AFL history if this craziness continues.

perhaps he should have a closer look at teams lists
Hopefully he's not suggesting selecting more indigenous lads over talent, if they are good enough they will be drafted, pretty simple

To this day the greatest full forward I’ve ever seen play.

Lockett, Dunstall, Ablett Snr, all from an era when stay at home full forwards were the norm, they did however have to earn their kicks unlike the modern players.
For the era he played in Franklin I think is the best FF I have seen. To kick 1000 goals this century the way the game is played is nothing short of phenomenal.
Dunstall however was, with Hodges, my childhood hero. Still have the Oz Child guernsey with the #19 on it.

6ft plus and built like brick shithouses, not sure I'd call them small

Even Cripps at 195cm, Bontempelli 193cm, Fyfe 192cm is just incredible. Harley Reid is the same height as Dunstall and with a few more pre seasons will end up heavier

Well kids are in the gym from a young age these days - strength programs start early, and given it's a career at pro level they train every day.. not a tradie who plays footy on the weekend, it's not really surprising.

Agree Franklins efforts are remarkable. Especially given how much better he was as a full forward than any other in his era. Compare that to Dunstall/Lockett/Ablett Snr your splitting hairs with all of them. No splitting hairs with anyone else but Franklin in his era.
What i find remarkable is how small Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett are compared to modern day forwards.
