I agree with Sportz. You just can't compare different era's because it wasnt a pro sport back in the 50's etc. A lot of the old time stars would still be stars today because they would be given the opportunity to be supremely fit and there ability would let them cope with the rigours of modern day footy, no worries. I bet Coleman would easily kick 100+ goals if he was playing in this current "keepings off" footy that is played each week.

Just from a biased point of view I reckon the Essendon 2000 team would be close to the best team of all time. They were so focused that you actually went to the footy not thinking they would win but what the margin would be.
I bet Carlton supporters felt the same way in 95 also.
I often wonder how the switched on 2000 Bombers would go against the Lions at there best.
Sportz, or any other Brisbane supporters out there; which year do you think was the Lions at there best?
