Alan Johnson?

[dazzledavey36 55,412]

Is that Travis Johnstone that you mentioned as unlucky?

That is a joke. what has James McDonald done wrong? He should be way ahead of Trapper!

[Kit Walker 225]

No Stretch, Obst, Spalding or Brian Wilson?

Great list though.

[Finks 19]

No Sylvia!?!?!

[Madness 44]

LOL at wowoeful.

[dazzledavey36 55,412]

wtf? woewodin won a much deserve brownlow in 2000. was a very very good player for us but was let go by salary pressure. i think woey deserves a spot

[Ash35 425]

Hmmmmm....backline looks a bit suss.

I'd get rid of Hughes, put Ingerson to full back, and swing Neitz to CHB.

You can then put Jakovich to full forward and put someone like Andy Lovell, Ricky Jackson or Yze in the forward pocket.

Agree with Neitz at CHB, but I'd have Wight at FB and Yze on the HB flank. Willo in the forward pocket!

A very, very good modern team Yze Magic but I could name better ones. eg The teams of 1956, 57, 59. But that's only because I'm old and can go back much further! Seriously though, your team would take some beating. I wish we had it on the field at the present time. Congratulations on your choice and research.

Alan Johnson?

Ahhhh

I knew I would miss someone, and there he is

Side has now been edited!

[Yze_Magic 3]

Definitely none of the first 3

I cant remember much about brian Wilson

So you think Travis should have been in the team?

Overall a very good team YM, just a couple of adjustments though if I may.

Jeff White is easily a better player than Strawbs O'Dwyer, but I'm very happy that you have Glenn Lovett on the bench, he's sometimes forgotten because of his injuries.

Swap Johnson and Grinter around, AJ was always a back pocket player.

Sugar Healy is lucky to get a spot.

If you saw Healy and Flower play can I then assume that you saw Laurie Fowler and Peter Moore play?

Both would definitely make the bench at the very least.

Good topic. I'm a fair bit older than you YM but I'll try to restrict my selections to the era that you'd be familiar with

B Wight Hughes A. Johnson

HB B. Lovett Neitz Grinter

C Tingay Wilson Flower

HF Lyon Schwarz Robertson

F Farmer Jakovich G. Healy

R Stynes Viney Johnstone

Int White Spalding Yze Greg Healy

A few unlucky but I picked the interchange on the basis that firstly, you need a second ruck. Agree with the poster who said White was better than O'Dwyer. Strawbs could mark & ruck but his kicking skills would make Wardy look like Darren Jarman. Yze & Spalding get the nod as they could play both ends & in Yze's case, go into the midfield. Sugar (& Trapper's) selection highlight the fact that we haven't had a rover since Henry Coles.

Would have liked a better full back but Hughes would get a fair bit of support from Wight. Thought Ingo was terrific for Melbourne but Danny shaded him. I also moved Neitz to CHB which allowed the traitorous Healy into a forward pocket where he kicked over 70 goals in successive seasons. Were you around to see him play for Melbourne ?

Sounds like you've been comparatively lucky. You missed the 70's & early 80's. By those standards, 2007 would be a good year !

I always had a soft spot for David Williams.

Not a bad side at all Biff! I'd have big Danny out and slot Ingo into the last line; Balls Grinter out for Cameron Bruce; Sugar Healy out for the Flash and I reckon JMac might just pinch Yze's spot on the bench. Swooper Northey to coach this team!

He had one great year, that's all it takes to win a brownlow. The rest of his career he was mediocre. Hence why he has been playing in the WAFL the last couple years.

Do you realise he lost the 1999 MFC Best and Fairest by 1 vote? He then won the Brownlow and B+F in 2000

Very unlucky not to have back-to-back Blueys

he also finished 7th in the 1998 B+F in just his second season, and was a WA state representative that same year

His 2002 season, his last for the Demons, was pretty good too. Not sure where he finished in the B+F but he did recover from a shocking 2001 to average 20 touches a game

I seem to remember him being one of our best players in the Elimination Final win over the Kangaroos as well

Woey played good footy outside of the 2000 season, dont you worry about that

[Madness 44]

I just can't understand having a player in your all time team that we traded then collingwood delisted him and no body wanted him. All time club greats don't get delisted.

Collingwood delisted him at the end of his career He wone a Brownlow when he was at his best. Give the guy a break!

He was 29 at the time, if he was so good someone would of picked him up. And like I said, 1 great year doesn't make you a great player...
