Doull is number one unquestionably in my eyes. One of the very rare players who was way ahead of his time, was precise by hand or foot and never made a wrong decision.

The other ten are:

Nicholls
Hunter
Jesaulenko
Silvagni
Kernahan
Williams
Koutoufides
Fitzpatrick
Southby
Walls

Top three for mine.

Supporting Carlton has been one of life's great joys, so many great players who are also greats of the VFL/AFL. In no order.

Johnston - Mr Finals himself, lifted a cog for the big games, my favourite all time Blue.
Jezza - Starting following Carlton in 74, even in the later half of his career he was a freak.
Harmes - Speed, strength, skill, courage and versatility, the complete footballer.
Hunter - Most courageous footballer to have played the game.
Silvagni - Fullback of the Century says it all.
Judd - Lifted the club from the scrapheap, changed his game to become a great inside mid.
Dean - Gave his all every game, tough and uncompromising.
Doull - Great poise and balance, one of the best footballers ever.
Kouta - For a couple of years was the best player in the comp, impossible to matchup on.
Williams - The handball king, great vision, as tough as they come, ran his opponents into the ground
Kernahan - Elite mark and great captain.

Dom was third for me, but I suppose its hard to compile a list like this as I would've loved to have Harmes, Ratts, Maclure, Fev. Unlike Johnny W. I never had the pleasure of seeing Nicholls or Walls and only saw Jezza right at the end as well as Southby who I missed in his peak

I don't think I have seen Swan McKay listed yet???

Harmes
Johnston
Nicholls
Jezalenko
Crosswell
Southby
Judd
Hunter
Doull
Kernahan
Williams

Talking of bravest players, pound for pound I would have loved to put Simmo in. Seriously I think he is one of the most underrated players in our club's history. We talk of Kenny Hunter but I have seen them both and would be happy with Simmo right alongside Kenny. Both were/are crazy courageous.

If for only the 1970 grand final Teddy Hopkins is in.

This is one bloke I would've loved to have seen play in the Navy Blue, from what I have read he was a freak and genuine big occasion player who was arguable BOG in at least 2 of the 4 flags he played in

#$%&*! Got timed out, too busy reminiscing...

Won't bother trying to remember all my points. My list is going on form of '79 onwards, because the memory's too hazy before that, and it does hurt to leave out Jezza, my childhood idol. Roughly in order of eras:

Doull
Ashman
Johnston
Harmes
Hunter
Kernahan
Bradley
Silvagni
Williams
Kouta
Judd

Yes, that's it. Many honourables...

my last one was rubbish

Probably because Fev was a better kick.

Obviously not taking into account leadership strengths in which there is no comparison.

You can come up with lists of brave players, team orientated players, skilled players, etc and get all sorts of players included

Only a few may make ALL of the list criteria

Agree with most. Ashman was our best player 79-83 so he must be in. And Croswell our equal best finals player with Johnston

This is a list of those that have brought me the greatest joy

Ragsy Gould
Gray Crane
Bryan Quirk
Jezza
Ian Robertson
Swan McKay
Geoff Southby
SOS
Johnno
Kouta
Peter Dean
