I wonder if Menzel will make Carlton's top 300 in 150 years time? If someone could PM me then, I would appreciate it. :wink:

Gibbs' inclusion a carrot?


Perhaps Menzel will be in the top 155 in 5 years time?

TalkingPlayers?

Gee, as much as I like him, Kreuzer doesn't belong on that list. What are they thinking?

No Wiggins.

@#$%&! right off. Just go and get [REDACTED]. All of you?

What good does publicly adorning a meaningless accolade on a bunch of current players who haven't achieved shit do for a team that constantly gets ahead of itself at the best of times?

Kreuzer? @#$%&! Kreuzer?!?!?

Adrian Whitehead should be in there. As should Scott Howell. They've at least won a flag and not had a clothing store go arse up.

No Bosustow.

Seriously dumb criteria.

Great point. It annoys me when they pass this bad decision off as 'he didn't fit the criteria'.
Well, fellas, then your criteria are wrong!

Perhaps, a better starting point might be: "a player should be included if a significant portion of supporters had his number on their backs!!"

Absolutely, nobody on our current list has had as much impact on our history and success as Bosustow. If the idea is to list the 150 greatest then the criteria is [REDACTED]

If Simon Beaumont makes the list then Bosustow should be a hall of fame legend.

He's on the "Top 150 angry faces while bumping into people" list.

No Bortolloto?

And no Klomp? Surely Klomp deserves a mention - he won a TV in a night game, with 3 possessions

Klomp, Bortolotto & Bosustow are dual premiership players and not on the list, in particular for Bosustow it's almost unjustifiable he is not included on the list.
