AFL Eras Draft

[Danger in Texas]

I tried this concept on the Cricket board, and it seems to be going well, so I thought I'd try it here.

We need six players. There are six eras to draft from. You can only select players in a certain era if they played in that era. The eras are:

Before 1935
1935-1949
1950-1964
1965-1979
1980-1994
1995 to present

Each participant gets four picks in each era.

Come up with a team name and assign a REAL-LIFE home ground to the team.

Teams:
Danger in Texas - Doubting Thomases - AAMI Stadium
