Russell Robertson must have written the article. 

To have him in front of Koz is a joke. But who cares really its just a digital click bait [censored] burger.

    At least it solves our KPF woes. I reckon this team would give the Lions, Hawks and Tiger dynasties a run for their money.

    Not bad, but a few changes I would make would be TMac over Howe, JMac over Rivers and maybe Johnstone over Salem.

    Hogan would also go close to dislodging Schwartz if this is considered to be post 2000 Schwartz. I imagine JVR will take that spot in a few years time anyway.

    Jared Rivers should be definitely in the side ahead of Howe

    I think I’d go with:

    Jetta          May        Lever

    Hibberd     J Rivers  T Rivers

    Langdon     Oliver       Yze 

    Green.        Schwarz.   Fritsch 

    Farmer.       Neitz.         Robertson 

    Gawn.         Petracca.     Jones

    White.         Viney.          Davey

    J McDonald

    Sub: Brayshaw

    The small back pocket has to go to either Jetta or Whelan.

    Davey in for sure.

    Not sure post knee Ox or Robbo or Courageous Cam make it.

    Junior McD should be in & surely Pickett has done enough.

    Did Aaron Davey ever play a single game in the backline?  Odd selection for back pocket.

    Played a while as one of the original “quarterback” accumulators. Got loads of the ball and used it well in a time where it mattered little. More half back than pocket, and a weapon anywhere on the field. Has all Australian vibes where you just have to shoehorn the stars in though.

    Jeremy Howe?     Get fckued

    What a load of garbage that is.   The bloke should never be associated with our club with the amount of digs he has given us over the years and his football is no way good enough to make this side

    Howe is so far behind Nev Jetta.

    Schwarz shouldn't be in the side.  59 games and 61 goals in the 2000s doesn't cut it.

    Rivers hasn't done enough.

    Howe ?  Defintely no.  He failed as a forward and was OK down back, but not enough to be in the best defence in the last 25 years.

    It's harder to say who should replace them, but unquestionably James McDonald makes the team.

    Robbo gave me many great memories.

    Yep me too. Particularly when were 90 odd points down and then he would kick a couple of cheapies at the end to only lose by 80 or maybe even high 70's.

    Seems like a ripper guy and he definitely had some magic but on the balance of output, offensively and most definitely defensively he isnt even close to Kozzie. 

    Anyone that can't see that doesnt deserve to see.

    Not sure about the following:

    - Howe’s best B&F finish was just 6th and spent the entire 2015 season sooking it up at P Roos for playing him as a defender.

    - Schwarz didn’t even give us 3 completed season in the 2000’s. He was more of the 90’s side.

    - Rivers might be a touch premature. However he’s given us some great service so far with a 50 odd consecutive streak of games.

    You're off the mark here.

    Robertson kicked over 40 goals in a season six times.  He also kicked 73 goals in a season.

    He won a best & fairest.

    He kicked 7 goals in a Queen's Birthday match and 7 goals on Matthew Scarlett in a stunning win at Kardinia Park.

    And he should be marked down for his glorified karaoke career.

    What were the parameters for this team? Schwartz was a superstar at best but pre-2000s. Howe, and arguably Hogan, have been high class but moreso at other clubs. Jordan Lewis' career was very good too, but 95% of his reputation comes from deeds elsewhere.

    Just performances at 21st MFC vs players who were in the team this century would be two different matters

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
