    Nice post. This should keep us going through summer. Need to find a spot for Shane Woewodin,  2000 Brownlow medallist.

    I'll take Sean Wight instead of Hughes, Wilson for Grinter,  Woewodin for Healey and the way things are going, Oliver for Robertson - the latter two because there is already enough fire power to sink any defence in the history of the AFL. Leg speed and ball movement makes me lean towards Woe and Olllie.

    It's a good team.

    I'd want Tingay, Jeff White and Shaun White in there.

    I agree Stinga and Jeff White need to be in the team. Otherwise its looks pretty good.

    Spalding wasn't really that good , guys like Steven Tingay and Steven stretch in for Yeats and Spalding

    Good effort, although Grinter wouldn't make my second side let alone the first.

    I'd concur, he came good at Carlton - I'd love Stinga, and he got too injured too frequently to really be consistent unfortunately, (does anyone else remember the time in WA where he side stepped to eagles players (one ready to shirt front) and they collected one another...could have been the same game as a chris lewis bite...but hey I'm sure its not and I'm throwing all my WA memories into one basket...

    No room for Sean Wight?

    About 3 of them would have made the best team prior to that.

  • Quote

    JohnsonT, Johnson R, Adams, Barassi, Williams, Mithen, Lord, Roet, Bourke, Dixon, Townsend, Ridley, Case, Tunbridge, Groom.

    Probably missed a few.

    Gee, you could make a case for a truckload...Tilbrook, Malloy, Stretch, Steve Smith, Fowler, Giles, Zantuck, Battiston, Icke, Jarrott, Moore, O’Dwyer, Lovett, Rhode, Lovell, Bennett, Davey....

  • Quote

    Laurie Fowler (3 Blueys) in for Yeats, and Sean Wight in for Hughes. Tingay ahead of all those listed on interchange and emergencies. And Garry Baker on the bench as 2nd ruckman.

    Good team Big Carl just a couple of changes to the 22 in bold. I loved Connolly when I was a kid before he was cut down by injury

    I think Clayton Oliver is better than Greg Healy should be in that team along with Michael Hibberd who is much better than Graeme Yeats

    Agree Red and Blue.

    Big oversight!

    Big fan of Tingay, Sean Wight and Jeff White.

    What about Diamond Jim.   The Great John Tilbrook. I think  his salary in the 70s was more than Clarry and Sugar put together.

    Do you know what l mean?

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
