Who of the current crop would replace some of these legends in effectively the MFC Best of all time 22? And possibly who will?

** Thanks Demonwiki

B	John Beckwith	Tassie Johnson	Don Cordner
HB	Noel McMahen	Gary Hardeman	Don Williams
C	Brian Dixon	Allan La Fontaine	Robert Flower (vc)
HF	Hassa Mann	Ivor Warne-Smith	Garry Lyon
F	Jack Mueller	Norm Smith	Percy Beames
R	Denis Cordner	Ron Barassi (c)	Stuart Spencer
I	Frank Adams	Bert Chadwick	Wally Lock
	Laurie Mithen	Jim Stynes	Todd Viney
EM	Stan Alves	Robert B Johnson
	Ian Ridley	Greg Wells
Coach	Norm Smith

 

I would think theres a place currently for Max, Trac, Clayton, May and futures market is Kozzie.

Do you mean just current players, or those who have played since the team was made. I think Neitz would be an inclusion for the latter criteria.  Currently only Gawn and Oliver for me. I think Trac can get there but needs a few more star seasons yet to be elevated to this company.

It is rather hard to make a judgement on players I have never see but...

Max, Trac and Clarrie are ins for me...outs would be Big Bob, ridley and wells

And I note Neitz is not included so he replaces N Smith as a player

Max challenges Cordner...

 

Have you done a 21st century team?

I reckon you need to have at least 10 years service before being eligible

No...I wouldn't think so.

Smith was a gun, his coaching deeds overshadow those as a player but he could play.

Wow what a team, we need a couple more flags before I would replace the 22 but would slot Clayton, Max and Christian and Neita into the Emegencies.

On second thoughts I think that Max would push Jimma to emergency and Clayton would push Todd down to emergency status as well and Tracc isn’t far off.

That would eliminate Spencer (7 years, 122 games), Warne-Smith (9/138), Chadwick (9/141), Ridley (9/130 - 5 flags!!) and Mithen (9/153). Fwiw, I think Clarrie’s already there, and is one of our all-time greats, Trac not far behind. Together with Max we are blessed to be able to enjoy 3 of our best-ever stars playing together in our current team.
And from what I’ve read and heard I wouldn’t be dropping Spencer, Mithen and IWS from our rolling Team of the Century.

I'm a big fan of the Viney clan but Todd sticks out like a sore thumb in that team.

A very good player, for sure, but only had a few seasons where he could be considered truly elite.

Was a butcher with the ball for most of his career.

Max and Clarence are obvious inclusions (goodbye Stynes and Viney) and Trac certainly gets a gig in the emergencies (replacing Wells or Alves), if not yet the final 22.

Fair point, maybe 100 games then.
