SOS played on;
Dunstall
Ablett
Lockett
Lloyd
Capper (I know what you think but he kicked 100 goals)
Sav Rocca
and several others.

Many of the best forwards of our lives played on Silvagni, all with different strenghts. He had something to match them all. Not only that but SOS could be swung into Full Forward, something Scarlett may struggle with. I think Scarlett is a fine player and the fact he is being compared to SOS is a credit to him. In the end, these things are merely opinions so we will differ. SOS for mine any day.

Including a bloke called Carey.

MODRA!!!!

this was a stupid look at the players that sos played on and look who scarlet plays on i know scarlet is a good player but really SOS is the best full back of ALL TIME

It's impossible to rank players like this from different eras....different rules....different teams....different oppositions....SOS played on the best; the very cream of the forwards of the last 20 years probably.

Scarlett is a very good Dench type attacking, running fullback in a super strong and talented team who back him to the hilt.....but......he'd get a game at PP..... .....but so would SOS!

FIDGE
HUTTON

Parkin last night said on Fox Sport's AFL teams, that Scarlett will eventually surpass SOS.

Dementia has already set in for old Parko.

Yeah but sos could go forward and kick six.

I agree about Parkin, he changes his tune each week. A few weeks ago he said we would not win a flag with Fev in the team. Last night he says he would take Fevola over Franklin… make up your mind Parko!!!

No contest on the SOS v Scarlett debate. Silvagni had a great record against the greatest full forwards of our time. The thing people tend to forget is that the ball was constantly kicked to the Ablett’s. Carey’s, Lockett’s and Dunstall’s of the day. So that meant that each game SOS was under siege from start to finish and he absolutely towelled these greats. Scarlett does not face that pressure.

Scarlett is a great attacking full back, he’ll probably finish his career as one of the greats but he certainly does not and probably will not play on the quality of forwards that SOS did.

I also remember SOS kicked 10.7 in three quarters against Fitzroy in ( I think ) 1993. Scarlet can’t do that.

I think the media is getting a little bored with how good Geelong is at the moment so they start comparing. Ableet Jnr V Ablett Snr is another good discussion. I know who I would choose.

those full forwards in sos's era all had a paddock to lead into aswell

NO CONTEST!

I would have thought that the number of all australian awards discrepancy would be a little statistic that should highlight the difference. SOS 7 vs Scarlett 3. Yeah Scarlett has another 4 years of footy left, I don't think he will get close.

That's All Folks!!!!!

PS. Scarlett got 5 goals kicked on him tonight by Pavlich

Harry Taylor was on Pavlich for 3 of them I think you'll find.

Anyway, there is no contest... SOS is way in front. And Gary Jr got towelled up tonight. SOS used to do that to Gary Sr on a few odd occasions. Still Gary Sr the best player that I've seen.

Where is this conversation going?...

I stand to be corrected on Scarlett tonight, as I only saw bits of the last quarter.

IMHO, there's no real comparison. Just a topic to kill time.

Martin Blake must be on drugs.

Obviously, no real story to be found so he just conjured sone BS outta thin air. Next week it might be - "Is Sam Mitchell better than Deisel?" . Week after that some other rubbish.....

Stop your racism against the wogs!

While we are at it:
Scott Hodges
Scott Cummings (nearly got to 100 goals in a season)
Doc Wheildon
Jeff Hogg
Danny Del Rae

They're going to compare SOS and Scarlett on Before the Bounce on Foxtel soon.

Danny Frawley - SOS. Had to play of 4 of the greatest players
Damien Barrett - SOS could also go forward
Jason Dunstall - SOS was the best full-back he ever played on
