So here we go! 

All the players in my team share a surname with a recipient of the Australian Of The Year Award.

Adam Goodes is the player who features in both lists and Mark Taylor is (I think) the captain referred to by  @Graeme Yeats' Mullet in an earlier post.  I thought the "Farnham" reference might mislead a few.

The team with their real names, then.

B:       Lord Casey     Mark Taylor     Fiona Wood

H/B:   Manning Clark     Shane Gould     Neville Bonner

C:       Alan Bond     Edward Williams     Dick Smith

H/F:   Harry Butler     Arthur Boyd     John Crawford

F:       Dawn Fraser     Paul Hogan     Richard Harris

R:       Patrick White     Adam Goodes     Lionel Rose

I/C:    Fiona Stanley     David Morrison     Cathy Freeman     John Eccles

SUB:   John Farnham

I was actually suggesting you name Goodes Captain due to the uniqueness of his participation in the side and the list...

Good way to break the monotony of a cold and wet Sunday arvo in Melbourne!!
