Create a 'Best 18' using one player from each club.

[AFDogs]

Interesting to see that North's player is nearly always Goldstein or Thompson. What other selection trends are there in this thread?

Nick Riewoldt and Gary Ablett are first choices. Also plenty of Cale Hooker from Essendon. Scott Pendlebury is featuring heaps.

cant do a whole team, but i'd have Goddard from Essendon, Lockett from Sydney, Gehrig from West Coast, Hamill from Carlton, Dawson from Freo, Ball from Collingwood, Wakelin from Port, Dal Santo from North, Stewart from Richmond, Winmar from the Doggies...

I'm disappointed you don't have anyone from the Saints.....

Suggested additions I thought you'd like: Peter Everitt or Ben McEvoy from the Hawks, Tom Lynch from Crows, Tom Hickey (Suns) Billy Longer (Lions)
Unlucky to miss (but understandable): Gardiner from Eagles, Hall from Dogs or Swans

Astute pick.

Nobody has noticed or mentioned it, but my team is made up of all the Best and Fairest winners of the 2014 teams.
I rate Cunnington anyway.

I noticed it when Liberatore was named in a back pocket, Fyfe at center half back and Cunnington at full forward among others, haha.

 

[The Joker]

Someone should do an under 25s or 22s team.

Oh, I guess I didn't look very closely, I thought that was ruck rover.

He's never even played a game?

Really shows the quality of Melbourne

Almost all are midfielders, and they say brownlow is a midfielders award? Seems this is too.

No arguments, and sadly, no Ablett

HF: N. Fyfe, N. Riewoldt, B. Deledio
F: L. Breust, K. Tippett, J. Howe
R: T. Goldstein, Pendlebury, R. Gray

Gone for some players from sides who aren't the best from the side, but fill a need.

What need does Prestia fill that Ablett couldn't handle?

 

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

95 - 2005

B: R.Smith S.Silvagni M.Scarlett
HB: A.McLeod G.Jackovic B.Pickett
C: S.Crawford N.Buckley P.Bell

Needed two double ups.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

B: Gibbs (Carl), Hooker (Ess), Murphy (WB)
HB: Hodge (Haw), MacKenzie (WCE), Hanley (BL)
C: Dangerfield(Adel), Fyfe (Frem), Pendlebury (Coll)
HF: Harvey (NM), Riewoldt (SK), Ablett (GC)
F: Martin (Rich), Franklin (Syd), Westhoff (PA)

FOLL: Mumford (GWS), Selwood (Geel), Jones (Mel)

No double ups.

I broke the rules a bit and went with the Ross Lyon "right now and all eggs in one basket" strategy. If you have a problem with that then I say....

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

FB: Jacobs (North) Schoenmakers (Hawthorn) Laidler (Sydney)

FF: Hampson (Richmond) Lee (St Kilda) Sylvia (Fremantle)
R: Gorringe (GC) Palmer (Giants) Melksham (Essendon)

Around five of them are Carlton or former Carlton players, they know how to breed them.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Reserves....

B: Dempster (SK), Thompson (NM), Malceski (GC)
HB: Goddard (Ess), Talia (Adel), Hurn (WCE)
C: Murphy (Carl), Beams (Bris), Griffen (GWS)
HF: Johnson (Geel), Cloke (Coll), Deledio (Rich)
F: Garlett (Melb), Roughead (Haw), Gray (PA)

FOLL: Sandilands (Frem), Kennedy (Syd), Liberatore (WB)

Reserve team - again no double ups.

Melbourne was really hard to do after using Jones in the first team. In the end I went with Garlett because for team balance I wanted a forward pocket who kicks a lot of goals, which he is.
