It is arguably the greatest honour that can be afforded somebody involved with the game of Australian rules football.
It signifies excellences, emboldens legacies and rewards influence. It cements a life dedicated to the nation's code as one worthwhile.
From those eligible for the first time, to those unfathomably overdue, we count down those who simply must be enshrined in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Steve Johnson
Ah, "Stevie J".
Truly one of one.
A prodigiously talented menace in front of the sticks, this mercurial Cat featured in three premierships for the men in hoops, and was thrice selected in the All-Australian side.
Twice Geelong's leading goalkicker, Johnson dished off more than his fair share, too, sitting equal-seventh for average goal assists all-time.
A member of Geelong's late 2000's dynasty, a Norm Smith Medallist, and an absolute character, Johnson deserves to join many of his former teammates in football's glittering club.
