What would it take for him to become the greatest ever?

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Scary thing is, he’s in his prime with the records, plaudits and highlight reel he has. And by say 250 and we are managing him, I’m going to love him 75% forward with Naughton, Jamarra & English in their prime!

So level headed from a young age on and off the field. And to spend your first year as captain in the covid hell hole of 2020 was outstanding. What a pleasure it is to watch The Bont.

Funny, because when we drafted him I remember saying to my cousin I wasn't sure about an in between sized mid who didn't seem to have much point of difference. Can remember who I said I would have preferred, but.......

Congested snd I know the boys will do you proud on the weekend.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Was it Aish? Or Scharenburg?

Congrats Marcus on 150 games. What a career so far! Lots of Sutton medals and the premiership the biggest one of all. Brownlow medal worthy that’s for sure.

Certainly has 100 brownlow votes if we assume he got 3 v WCE in round 2. 130 goals so far, and so many of these have been clutch moments.
Thoroughly believe he will retire as the greatest bulldog ever....when he does in 2032!!!
