And Rod Ashman must be one of the most underrated players to ever play the game.

Maclure marking in the forward line and Harmes running through the centre, those were the days.....

Unlucky not to win the Brownlow Medal in 1981 - I did get about 8 to 1 on backing him for a top 5 finish.

Anyone remember his 50m torp goal against Essendon* at PP in 85?

Eddie Betts on his way to kicking 8 somehow breaking Henry Slattery's ankles twice in about a phonebox sized space in 2011.

Which Carlton midfielder was better than Ashman?
In his era?
In Carlton's history?

Not many better than Ashman.

Judd, Williams, Bradley, Kouta for a start, and what great company he's in there with.

Tough, inside outside goal kicking mid.
No better allround game. As good as any of the above at his best. IMO.

That's always been my favourite. I was behind the goals in the old Western stand and the ball kept on bouncing and bouncing. My dad and I just jumped up and down like idiots when it crossed the line. Watching it again still sends tingles up my spine...

Wonderful player. Johnno could play a bit, too.

Bosustow, the smother then snap in FP against Cats. That was lightning out of nowhere. He was an amazing player.

The Yarran one along the boundary against Richmond was good though I think Bruce's ejaculation made it better than it was.

Bradley's one against WC a near second behind the Buzz's one against Cats.

Yep, can't imagine another goal topping that, in a GF at a critical moment. I can remember thinking "we've got 'em!"

-Sticks’ goal after the siren vs North on Rnd 22, 1987
-Lance’s long bomb deep into the last qtr of the ‘99 Prelim
-Harmes taps it back to Sheldon, ITS A GOAL!
-Bradles’ running banana vs West Coast in ‘94
-Andrew Phillips snap to snatch a close win against the Filth in 1989
-Harry’s running goal out at Waverley
