ROYCE Hart has listed current stars Jonathan Brown and Nick Riewoldt as among the greatest centre half-forwards he has ever seen.
The man acknowledged as the best centre half-forward of the 20th century also included North Melbourne champion Wayne Carey, Hawthorn's five-time premiership forward Dermott Brereton and Carlton great Stephen Kernahan among his best.
"I reckon they would be my top five (centre half-forwards) - Carey, Brereton, Kernahan, Brown and Riewoldt," Hart said.
"I've always loved watching the best at their sport - whether it is Black Caviar winning or Billy Slater playing for Melbourne Storm.
"And those five blokes are the ones who I would definitely pay to go and see.”
Asked about Carey, who is considered greatest centre half-forward of the past 25 years, Hart said: "I thought he was a terrific player.
"He kicked more goals than I did (Carey's 727 goals to Hart's 369 goals), but he played at full-forward more often than I did."
