  2. Scottie NG Scott

    He was such a good player, great to see him recognised. He was easily one of the most consistent ball-winners I've seen, and was one of the best midfielders in the league for the best part of a decade.

    Congrats to West.

    Who else do you guys think will make the HoF? And who will be elevated to Legend status?

    Umpired 350+ games, including six Grand Finals.

    Something he said sounded ever so right... "I lived by the adage that umpires should be seen and not heard. We wanted to add to the game, not detract from it."

    Umpires these days should live by that same adage!

    FWIW, the AFL is an extension of the VFL... But the VFL back then was not the benchmark like how the AFL is today...

    All state leagues had their stars and all the leagues around the country (SANFL, WAFL, TSL, etc etc) produced stars of the game, and were equal in terms of stature.

    Just because it's labelled the AFL HoF doesn't mean the retrospective stars of yesteryear around the nation can't be added to it.

    It's technically the 'Australian Football HoF', not just 'AFL' per se.
