IT’S A pretty big wrap and the man lavishing the praise admits he might be a little biased when dishing it out.

But the fact Tom Harley was willing to agree with a suggestion that teammate Matthew Scarlett deserved to be rated as one of AFL’s greatest-ever full-backs speaks volumes for Geelong defender’s talents.

Scarlett has again been in superb form in 2008, and when asked about his good mate before departing for his side’s Anzac Day clash with Fremantle, Harley was singing the praises of man who wears the No.30 jumper for Geelong.

“That’s a fair call as far as I’m concerned,” Harley said when asked if Scarlett could be rated alongside the best defenders the game had seen.

“He’s the best I’ve seen.

“I’m the wrong person to ask because I’ve got a pretty biased opinion, but I think he’s one of the greatest players ever, for sure.”
