Former Essendon great Tim Watson has revealed his best ever full forwards... with some exceptions.

The triple premiership Bomber excluded star spearheads Tony Lockett, Jason Dunstall and Gary Ablett Sr. due to their grand status.

Watson also left out Lance Franklin, Wayne Carey, Matthew Richardson and Stephen Kernahan because he considers them general forwards.

Speaking on SEN Breakfast,ย Watson explained that he opted for pure full forwards.

โ€œIf I think full forward, I think of a Modra-type player as that 100 per cent pure-type full forward,โ€ Watson toldย SEN Breakfast.

โ€œI'd have (Matthew) Lloyd, (Tony) Modra โ€ฆ and Brendan Fevola I've gone with. He (Fevola) averaged 3.1 goals โ€ฆ kicked 623 (goals).

โ€œA little wayward โ€ฆ but he didn't play in great teams either.

โ€œYou imagine him in a great team, had he played at Essendon under (Kevin) Sheedy โ€ฆ he may have kicked more goals than Matty Lloyd.โ€
