Not many MFC players in there, i assume it will be a different story this coming decade.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

tough job picking that side.... couldn't even fit Carey in the side as i considered most of his best footy was played before 2000

[Jonesy!!! 27]

Very tough gig!, had to try and think who peaked before 2000 and who smashed it since then, this is my side

B: C.Johnson(BL) D.Fletcher(Ess) M.Scarlett(Geel)

HB: C.Cornes(PA) J.Leppitsch(BL) L.Hodge(Haw)

C: A.Goodes(Syd) J.Hird(Ess) N. Buckley(Coll)

HF: B.Harvey(NM) J.Brown(BL) M.Pavlich(Fre)

F: J.Akermanis(BL) M.Lloyd(Ess) W.Tredrea(PA)

Ru: D.Cox(WC) G.Ablett(Gee) M.Voss(BL)

Int: M.Primus(PA) B.Cousins(WC) N.Riewoldt(St.K) C.Judd(Car.. should be under WC)

Captain: M.Voss

Coach: L. Matthews (hate him, but had to)

Think of the players i couldn't fit in, r harvey, carey, richo, black, kirk, fev, hayes, goddard, mcleod, archer!

2nd ruck was hard to pick, but i reckon that side would be tough to beat in a game

C: N. Lappin Ablett Judd

HF: Richardson Riewoldt B. Harvey

F: Akermanis Lloyd B. Johnson

R: Sandilands Goodes Black

IN: J. Brown Ricciuto Hird

Cousins

Captain: Ricciuto (from the bench ha ha..)

Coach: Paul Roos (rate him higher than Lethal as any mug could've coached that team to 3 flags. Roos is a genius and had greater longevity...)

It was too inflexible with having to pick players from certain groupings. Richo probably wouldn't have got in, but I didn't think anyone else deserved the HFF spot. Would've put Ricciuto there ifI had the choice...

Seriously hard leaving out some dead set guns. Some guys just pick themselves. Leaving out W Carey was tough, but as others have said his best work was in the 90's - would captain the team of the 90's

Others we forget quickly that they changed the way the game is played. Because J White was so dominant they put in the second circle, changeing ruck work forever. Cousins' 3rd 4th 5th 6th (etc) efforts meant that we have to have ridiculous rotations to keep up with them.

I Felt bad for leaving out : Chapman, Kouta, Tredrea, Richo, Swan, Lappin, and Goddard who are all at about the same level as those i picked.

Hard task..here was mine:

B: Fletcher Scarlett Clement

HB: Hodge Bolton McLeod

C: Goodes Black Buckley

HF: Hird Riewoldt Ricciuto

F: Harvey Lloyd B.Johnson

Foll: Cox Ablett Cousins

Int: Goodwin Lappin Judd Hayes

Missed Pavlich somehow - fail, the guys had 6 AA's. I'd swap Lappin for the Pav on the bench if I could amend. I was harsh on some Lion players too it turns out - Voss, Brown and Akermanis. Just can't fit enough of them in will be my excuse. Pav is a major blunder though. (hand is up ! - sorry Pav)
