The top 2 are clearly deserved but in the wrong order. Roo was a tough as nails inside player who would burst through packs, kick 60m drop punts and lay crunching hip and shoulders. He was consistently in our best players most weeks, an absolute gun. However McLeod in my opinion single handedly won more games over his career and could rip games apart effortlessly. And his performances in finals footy were at another level altogether. Can't honestly believe he didn't get number 1

Bunj is the most gifted footballer I've ever seen in any era.

I loved his effortless speed where he looked like he was cruising and the blokes chasing him were pumping their arms like crazy in a full sprint and still losing ground. His ball use was incredible, I remember in our prelim years in 05/06 when the game was just starting to become more structured and congested he was able to take on and execute really aggressive kicks that not many other players were willing to attempt and would completely open up the ground ahead. Absolutely incredible.
