Who is the greatest AFL Australian Football player of all time?

Answer 1

Old? Well, Vic Cumberland, whose stopped playing AFL 5 times to play with Sturt, was the oldest afl player ever, The Melbourne and St.Kilda Hall of Fame inductee was 43 years old when he said he'd hang to boots up in 1920.

Sorry mate but your wrong! Vic Cumberland played before the AFL came into being, (it changed from the Victorian football league to become the AFL {Australian FL) in 1990)! Hawthawns Michael Tuck was the oldest ever AFL/VFL player, he was 38years, 95 days when he retired from AFL Footy!

Answered by, (3.14159...etc!) Obviously, I barrack for the Pies!

Sorry guys, but your both wrong, try Craig Bradley 38 years 291 days. Retired 2002.

Answer 2

Answering this Q is like opening a can of wormsLOL!!!

There will always be many opinions on this type of Q.

If we are to answer it, however, on the basis of the most state/national Best & Fairest awards won by any single player, the answer will undisputably be:

Haydn Bunton Snr.

He won a total of 6 state Best and Fairests = 3 Brownlow Medals (VFL competition), then moved to WA and promptly won 3 Sandover Medals in the WAFL.

He is the only 'safe' thing we can say!!!!!!!! From there, the discussion is wide open!!

If we are to focus on the VFL/AFL competition, for instance, various answers might be given such as:

Laurie Nash, Dick Reynolds, Peter Hudson, Gary Ablett Snr [though I personally, would prefer Junior on my team(!)], Alex Jesaulenko, Jason Dunstall, Leigh Matthews, Darrell Baldock, Graham Farmer, Wayne Carey in the modern era and a host of other possibilities!!LOL

Then there are the top players over the decades in the other states!

It is like asking: "How long is a piece of string??!!"
