You can not class a player as great until he has won a title. Lets face it, Gary Ablett and Nathan Buckley were very skillful players, but they were not great. They couldn't make their best talents shine on the ultimate stage. Another team unit was able to mollify their ability to win the most important game. If they were great, the team they led should of been able to win a title as no other player could stop them. Being great means you are better than anyone else, so logically the title should be yours. Now there have been less talented players with premierships, so i'm not saying everyone who win ones is great, but lets get over this rubbish of lionising players who haven't won the only real ultimate prize, its is after all a team game, and what good is winning brownlows or goal kicking awards if you can't win a title.
