    We were called The Prince Imperials. Named after the second-in-line to the French throne.

    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Sockeye i have been warned to stay on topic, cos it looks like i was wrong and i not fond of frogs, so I still say Buddy Franklin, also heres one out of the blue as far as being a centre half forward and kicking goals from that range, Rocca would prob win that part of it.

          I hate Rocca, he's so over-rated IMO, he's useless, when was the last time he did anything useful? English, French, Germans, they're all from the same Celtic/Anglo Saxon/Norman stock. Oops now I put my foot in it

            I think the three standouts are Riewoldt, Pavlich and Franklin but Brown on his day covers them all as a true CHF.

            If I had to pick one it would be Riewoldt.

              I also think Travis Cloke will be very, very good there.

                I mentioned him earlier in the thread but for 2008, they are the three standouts.

                Sometime in the future Cloke will be hard to stop.

                          If I could have my pick of any player in the AFL right now, he'd be the one. He works hard, covers the whole ground and will only imporove.0


                          Will be the best player in the league in the not to distant future.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                            Kelvin Templeton. Coleman medalist, century goal kicker and brownlow medalist all before the age of 22. Did his knee in the preseason after he won the brownlow and basically never played again. If he hadnt there would be no dispute as to who the greatest player of all time was.


                            The single biggest footballing tragedy in my lifetime-genius wasnt enough to describe how good he was. In one game against St Kilda in 1978 he kicked 15.9 and a couple of out of bounds. They say Franklyn is a freak(and he is) for having 8 or 9 shots at goal most games. KT had 26 shots at goal that day and would have comfortably averaged the same as Buddy over a five year period.


                            He was just the best player I ever saw, no question.
