Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3644744, member: 1899"] I wish they'd fix the Hall of Fame first before they worry about the Immortals. What they've done to the Hall of Fame is a travesty. They completely forgot about it after 2007, then 11 years later they simply added the 65 players from the 2008 100 Greatest Players list with an additional five players. To rush through that many inductions at once robbed the fans and the whole immortals concept makes the Hall of Fame feel like a consolation prize. They only added a further five players in 2019 before they completely abandoned the concept again and they're already talking about the Immortals. It's a shame because it's easy PR for the competition and a way to promote the game. Imagine instead of recycling the same Wests Tigers in danger story we actually had a chance to speculate who should go in and look at the game from another perspective? Is Justin Hodges a first ballot Hall of Famer or does he have to wait his turn? etc. etc. The Immortals if it has to exist, should be completely independent of the Hall of Fame, and should be every decade the four best players who retired within the past ten years. The next class shouldn't even be considered until 2031. And yeah, Alf would have been picked in 2011. Fittler, Johns, Langer, Webcke. [/QUOTE]
