I've seen richo and lynch change/win games too. The former didn't have the cattle around him to win enough games and the latter can't stay on the park enough to be consistent. Rance was another.

Now we’re down the rabbit hole:
1 KB
2 Royce
3 Four way tie : Francis, Jack R, Dusty, Richo
(I’m not quite old enough to rate Captain Blood)
I've got J. Webberly right up there too.You forgot Jack Titus
Vic Thorp was pretty good as well
Was my Dad’s favourite player of that era. Said they had to move Coleman off him one day. Sent a couple of thugs to rough up Mopsy, then moved Coleman back.
Three things he was the best at were the left hook, right hook and upper cut.
Captain Blood had a better shirt front
What a pleasure it was to be there at all 3 1980 finals. Without Kevin V Geel we do not win that game, ergo, the flag, and with him, we did it on the bit. An utter legend.
The original discussion was match winners. Players who grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and owned it.
Slightly different list to the best players we have had imo.
That’s why someone like Bugsy Barrot is on my list.
I think Richo warrants being in the conversation too - just played in an era where we had very poor teams.
Could somebody put up the 1980 gf goal, the one where kb got around Stan magro going for I think goal number 7

Without sounding like an old fart , geez it was a good game to watch back then. You didnt have 15 players around the ball every time it landed somewhere and allowed for a free flowing game. None of this "Stand" crap that you have today
Agree. Funny that 1st goal to KB definitely was a 15 (now 50
) but the umpires were much, much better. Have to admit that everytime I watch this 1980GF, I see us playing in the future. I really think we were pioneers of this free-flowing game we see today. No-one was able to catch us and couldn't believe the Scum were this bad.
Great support by Freamey with the shephard on Magro for Hungry's 7th.
Notice the non holding the ball call on The Macedonian Marvel?
Just threw it away after getting nailed by The Fleabag.
Just before 3rd KB goal.
They have been beneficiaries of dodgy calls for 40 years that family.
And continue to get "assistance" till this very day.

One of great H and A games in 1980, Bartlett, Roachy on fire. 85,000. Notice we also lost the free count.
Wiley with the lazy FORTY SIX didnt manage a goal. I vaguely remember after this game thinking jeez we are gonna be hard to stop.
