Dick Reynolds is renowned as one of the greatest rovers, and later ruck-rover and half-forward of all time, with his speed and exciting dashes Reynolds was one of the games favourites. In 1938, he took over as captain-coach and led his team to four Premierships. He also led and played for the Victorian side on nine different occations. After the 1950 Grand Final, Reynolds retired as a player but returned at the age of 36 for the 51 Grand Final against Geelong. At the time of his retirement no player had achieved as much success as Reynolds, with three Brownlow Medals, numerous Best and Fairest awards and many successive Grand Finals to his name, Dick Reynalds is one of the games true legends.

Bob Skilton

South Melbournes, Robret John Skilton played in an era when South had little success but he made a huge impact on the game. Bobs great pace and remarkable skills made him a frequent target of the opposition. He played in sixteen seasons with the "Bloods"and in that time he became one of the most honoured players in the games history. Skilton played 237 games, won his clubs Best and Fairest on nine occasions, three times his clubs leading goal kicker, represented Victoria on twenty five occassions, captained his state twice, and last but not least, won footballs greatest honour, the Brownlow Medal three times.

Ted Whitten

If there has been one great charactor of the game it would have to be the great Ted Whitten. Ted was knowm as "Mr. Football" and thats exacly who he was. Whitten has been refered to by team-mates and oppersition as one of the greatest players ever. With his ability to take control of a game, Ted was a versitile player. In twenty seasons at Footscray, he played 321 games, always showing tremendous guts and determination, and of coures, Ted gave as good as he got. He was Footscrays leading goal kicker on three occassions, captained and coached his beloved "Doggies", and also we can not forget the great pride he took for the big "V."(player,coach,selector) Ted Whitten loved Footsray and Footscray will always love Ted. His outstanding contribution to football will never be forgoten.

Hayden Bunton

Hayden Bunton made his league debut at the age of 19. Bunton, a rover, had beautiful balance and has been described by many as the greatest ever. He played 119 games and in his short but successful career with Fitzroy, he won three Brownlow Medals, two of them in his first two seasons. Bunton then crossed over to Subiaco and there he won three Sandover Medals. Bunton later played with Port Adelaide, then surprisingly taking on a bit of umpiering when his playing days were over, then going on to coach North Adelaide.

Jack Dyer

Tiger supporters worshiped him, the opposision dispised him, either way Jack Dyer was a master of the game. He was fast for a ruckman and his marking and kicking ability were supperb. He made great use of the crunching hip and shoulder, but in 312 games Jack was only ever reported once. Dubbed "Captain Blood"after a game against Fitzroy in which he flattened three players, Jack took no prisenors. Dyer was club captain 1941-49, coach from1941-52 and added six Best and Fairest awards to his name. He was one of the toughest ruckman ever to have played the game.

Keith Greig

As a dashing wingman and half-back, Keith Greig became one of his clubs most honoured players. In his 297 games for North he wontwo successive Brownlow Medals, including Norths first. Greig was also a member of the "Kangaroos" first Premiership in 1975, he captainen his team for four seasons, represented his state on 13 occasions, and also led his state as captain in 1978. Eventually Greig was made a life Life-Member at North Melbourne and was also made a Member of the British Empire in the Queens Birthday Honours List in 1975 for his services in sport.In 1992 he was Norths, Chairman of Selectors, and was also named on the wing in the AFLs Team of the Century in 1996 and inducted into its Hall of Fame.

Graham Farmer

One of the games greats who made a huge impact on football in a relativley short career in Victoria. He had a natural ability, and he had already built a huge reputation in W.A. at West Perth before arriving at Geelong as a 27year old in 1962. Unfortunatley in the opening moments of his debut he serverly injured his knee. In the following year, Farmer had a tremendous season and finished runner up to Bob Skilton for the Brownlow Medal. It is a fact that he altered the game with his spearing 30 metre handpass and was a master of the ruck play. Farmer played in the Cats 1963 Flag, won two club Best and Fairest awards, and was captain and coach for Geelong. He played a total of 392 games with East Perth , West Perth and Geelong, won the Sandover Medal in 1956 and 60. Graham Farmer was also inducted into the AFLs Hale of Fame and Team of the Century.

Gordon Coventry

Gordon Coventry is clearly the most prolific goal kicker in league history. In eighteen seasons he played 306 games, a club record that stood for sixty years. Coventry kicked more than 100 goals against every VFL club with the exception of Footscray. He won Collingwoods goal kicking 16 times and the VFL goal kicking 6 times. In thirteen consecutive seasons he kicked 50 goals or more and was the first man to kick more than 100 goals in a season. Gordon Coventry played a huge part in Collingwoods record four consecutive Premierships(1927,28,29,30) and for every season he played he would nearly always produce something extrodinary and that would etch its way into the record books.

Alex Jesaulenko

Alex Jesaulenko was a footballing genius, who defenitly ranks as one of the best. Born in Salzburg, Austria, Jezza came to Australia as a young boy and did not play Australian rules until the age of 14. He joined Carlton at the age of 22, and his brilliant ball winning ability soon made him a star. Jezza started at centrehalf- forward and then full-forward which saw him kick 115 goals in 1970.(the first Blue to top a 100 goals). After suffering back problems he was forced to play as a half back flanker and as expected succeeded as always. Jezza played in four flags with Carlton and was the last man to captain/coach a side to a premiership. After 13 seasons with Carlton Jezza went over to St Kilda and with only two weeks into the season was appointed coach. It had seemed Jesaulenko had drifted out of the game for a while but in 1989 Carlton recalled him as a coach. Among his many honours he represented Victoria 15 times and was inducted into the AFLs Team of the Century and of course took the unforgettable mark of the century in the 1970 grand final.
