Ricciuto and McLeod for me :) Stars!

Though I reckon Tyson Edwards 300+ games, and Ben Hart's defensive marvels should at least give them nominations

Riccuito best by the length of the straight.

Modra, captured the state for years like our own David Beckham and he was the guy we all wanted to be. The movie star looks, the ladies, surfing, hangers, goals - but just like Becks, when he opened his mouth.... ::)

LOL Tregenza  ;D (blame naste I think), Why didn't anyone nominate Stuart Wigney?  :D

CrowsFan

Ricciuto and McLeod for me too.
Grew up watching them both play since I have been watching footy since 1995.
Two truly great superstars of the game, but Ricciuto definitely the best Crow there has ever been!

Roo wins.

I agree Ossie they were unlucky but I only put em in if they were nominated

Knowall

Not that it really matters any more but im surprised Bickley or Hart werent options.

if you look at a previous thread it had a place for nominations and eight came through, but I agree they may have been unlucky to miss out

Others unlucky to miss out on a nomination.....

David 'Pitiful' Pitman
Ian 'Sergeant' Perrie
Matthew 'I've got a yellow jacket' Connell
Peter 'Carey Killer' Caven
Rodney 'Rocket' Maynard
Wayne 'Weeds' Weidemann
Shane 'I kicked five goals in a GF' Ellen
Aaaron '6 games and a Premiership' Keating

With special nominations for those from down the road who played for the Team for ALL South Australians...

David 'Mullet' Brown
Greg 'Mullet' Anderson (is there a theme here?)
Troy 'Sticky' Bond
Trent 'The Leap' Ormond-Allen
Scott 'I married the coaches daughter' Hodges
Bruce 'I did not play for the Crows' Abernethy - yes you did Bruce  ;)

Very hard to choose from the above classy field, but Riccuito was deservedly the winner  ;)

One of my favorites (I know this is going to come back & haunt me) John Klug. Always seem to have time to get rid of the pill.
