Not this century but my top 5 in no particular order Bucky, Keene, Feathers, Horse and Dela and if I could have 6 then Ali, only because he came from the much hated chunder

Hahaha.  I had a chuckle when I read your chunder comment DG.  Yes, getting Ali and Germo from them almost makes up for the travesty of 2016 and 2017.  

I’d try and fit Dela in my top 5 of all time. Bucky, Feathers, Ali, Dela, Horse.
I’m probably leaning heavily to those in more recent memory. But the last three have been a joy to watch play.

Sorry, no way im putting Dela ahead of Keane or Phil Scottas a ruckman forward.  But this century,  its a tight call. Brad Smith really was influential. So was webby. Bristol and kitch also. Phelan, don't forget him. Rumble, big game player. Gus and lockyer also crucial in the club's success. 

Tough call. Dela definitely in the same company. 

He interviewed well on wafl world tonight too. 

Yeah, Dela would be top 10. 

Always difficult to compare era's, especially pre and post WCE and Freo......Featherby was a champ back in his day, longevity wise, his ability to rack up possessions never faltered....where would he sit in your guys eyes? 

Would loved to of seen a match between Subi's 85/86 teams v one of your post 2000 or 2010 teams. Who would of won and why?

Freeze, would be a close call between the 86/88 team and the 2006-2008 team, but any team with Keene leading the ruck and going forward is probably going to get the nod.

As we know it's very difficult to compare teams pre and post 1987 for obvious reasons but the 1986 side was a belter chock full of stars. For mine, the only team which might come close would be 2015 which demolished WP by 11 goals and had a rampant Sam Menegola, Horse, Dela, Kitch, Phelan, Boland kicked 7 and Yarran 5....it was a beauty.

And to think BC only Menagola was good enough to play AFL.....though Horsley got injured during his GCS time.....to me that 85/86 team was fantastic......Keene and Scott in tandem would of been hard to combat......so wonderful players on both sides for that time..   

Tbh Freeze I think our 1991 side that was thrashed by tiges in the gf would beat all of our post 2000 sides

Point of order Freez....Yarran played 6 games for Freo but yes, take your point.
