Interesting it depends on the group you talk to Michael McLean was at the Bulldogs at 16 playing top grade football and is seen by many as the biggest thing for a long time. Phil Narkle was playing League footy at Swans aged 16 as well...

Maurice by a comfortable margin and that's something as Narkle was an exceptional player. Just have to cast the mind back to the 81 GF? Souths v Monts, the one where big Basil was fighting the whole Claremont team .... and winning ... with a bit of help by Benny Vigona who was very handy with the fists. I think it was the second qtr when Souths kicked something like 6 g 15 p and should have iced the game, Rioli was just dazzling but they could not finish off his amazing mid-field work. That's one that would haunt Souths supporters I would think, a bit like '85 & '95 for Subi
