Rubbish, brilliant does not cover it.

He should have his own word in the dictionary.

Xact. Xalted. Xceptional. Xciting. Xemplary. Xhilarating. Xpert. Xponent. Xquisite. Xtraordinary.

The Most Overrated Player in the AFL.

BTW I was calling for him to have a shot before he even got the ball.

So were 40,000 other Essendon supporters!

He's ok but he ain't no Austin Lucy.

WOW!!! Big Statement.

What about Steve Silvagni? F.B. of the Century

This has always given me the shits... he was always talked up as the greatest, before the question had even finished being asked. I got the feeling that it didn't matter if there were other defenders around, past, present or future, that might have been in the same ilk.

But it won't matter so much if, nay when, Fletch gets named as the Full Back of All Time

For me, much more damaging than Silvagni ever was!

Also did it all without hanging onto his opponent with both hands!

So Jobe Watson says Fletch is probably in the top 5 players to ever play for the club. What does everyone think?

Realistically I can only comment on the players I've seen play. In that time he is second only to Hird.

I told my 6 year old nephew who attended his first footy game on the weekend to remember that Dustin Fletcher goal for the rest of his life! Will have witnessed a champion at work!

I love that the goal came from a Judd turnover.

I think you have to seriously rate him in the Top 10 Essendon players of all time and probably one of the Top 5 Full Backs of all time for any club.

Player honours: best and fairest 2000; 2nd best and fairest 2007, 2009; 3rd best and fairest 2006; All-Australian 2000, 2007; All-Australian nominee 2009, 2010; AFL Rising Star nominee 1993; International Rules Series 2005, 2006, 2010; premiership sides 1993, 2000; pre-season premiership sides 1994, 2000.

Brownlow Medal: 2010 votes 7; career votes 59.

Should have been All Australian at least 6 or 7 other years as well.

Dyson Heppell thinks he's marvel.

In a post game interview a couple of weeks ago he said to a question about Fletcher--

"He was 20 when he was born."

Yep im definately with you on that one... I have also been lucky enough to witness some great EFC champs of the modern era during one of the most successful times in our history (Mercs, Smokin Joe, Alessio. Wellman, Bewick, Long... the list goes on) And after Hirdy he is definately next on the list.

May the great man continue to play on until he is at least 40!!!

im going to give Lloyd a mention in here too, simply because his name shouldn't go unsaid in a Essendon Great discussion
