Question

Who is the greatest living icon and proponent of The Game?

Answer 1

Leigh Matthews for me.....legend of the game, and the man talks sense.

Answer 2

gary ablett seniour...tony lockett.....Ron barassi

Answer 3

Ronald Dale Barrassi

Answer 4

Barassi, Sheedy, or Matthews

Answer 5

Matthew Pavlich

Answer 6

It'd have to be either Ron Barassi or Leigh Matthews.  But I'm leaning towards Ron.

Answer 7

That is hard considering Ablett and Carey turned out to be such wan*ers....so I would have to say (in terms of number of games played and current iconic standing) Sam Newman....although I don't like it!

Answer 8

TOMMY HAFEY.  He played at Richmond, went bush and coached Shepparton  to 3 flags.  He Returned to Tigers in ' 66  won a flag in his second season, their first in 28 years,  and in 9 years his total was 4 up to 1976.    In 1977 he coached Collingwood from "last", to a drawn Grand final and replay,  The Magpies then contested the Grand finals of 79, 80 and 81.  In 1982 he was sensationally sacked by the Magpies, but his record 5 Grand Finals in 5 years is  never likely to be equaled.
