Hall of Fame nominations

[Perth Tiger]

I don't really agree on those criteria. It should be based upon the the impact that players had on the competition. for a player like Moz who was arguable the best forward in the comp for a 2-3 year stretch he probably deserves to be in the HoF even if he happens to have played more games overseas.

But I guess Paul Kent and Buzz have more of a voice than me.

Hall of Fame criteria was not devised by those two merkins.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any comment on the 2019 nominations

Good list as usual, although surprised Fitzgibbon is there before some of his contemporaries.

Personally I would like to see Stacy Jones and Paul Sironen be inducted.

Do you think they'll posthumously add Rebecca Wilson for the print journalist?

Fitzgibbon deserves to be nominated. Awesome player who could easily play a whole game whilst making 40 tackles, 100+ meters and kick goals from all over the park

Get Kieran Foran to induct her.

The 4 inducted are worthy... lot of others on the list equally deserving IMO

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Could have put in all 25 tbh, great list of nominees

Michael Hancock.

The greatest of all turf-humpers.
Kids up and down the Eastern Seaboard were emulating his pilchard on the poop deck routine long before the Benji Marshall sidestep was a thing.
Legend.

I usually describe him as the epileptic goldfish that jumped out of the fish tank.

Just watching the ceremony

Who the f**k is the Beattie clown, couldn't be bothered learning JJ Giltinan's name... FFS

 

[Card Shark]

He’s the dickhead supposedly leading out game.

He portrays such an unprofessional look to fans of the game, I shudder to think how he goes running it!
