Toast Bulldogs Team of the 21st Century

[X_box_X]

Plenty of teams still use two ruckmen in 2021? If you want to treat this like a real team, which it isn’t, then consider Darcy a forward/ruck as that’s what he spent at least half of his career as.

Grant’s injuries from 1999 onwards robbed him of a lot of his athleticism. He wasn’t the same player any more.

Grant of 2000 and 2001 is at least the equal of Hall in 2010 and 2011. Yet you have Hall in despite only playing two seasons.

It depends on your criteria. I'd be more than happy to have Hall in my side if longevity isn't rated highly.

Hall kicked 50 more goals in those two seasons than Grant did in 2000-01. Hall was the superior full forward. If Hall isn’t eligible then Grant’s in by default.

I'm not sure why they have included Barry Hall, because he isn't eligible. He only played two seasons with us and the minimum requirement is four seasons.

I've named a back up ruckman on the bench as well as three midfielders, but I figure Boyd can rotate through half back and Coons can rotate through half forward so it makes sense to me.

Love that back 6, elite ball users in Gilbee and Murphy, dash with Rohan Smith, Easton playing his ideal 3rd tall interceptor and Lake and Morris holding down the KPD.

Thank you to the dogs board for your input so far.

Of the current crop, I would anticipate JUH, darcy, dale, smith & english as potential players who could break in to this team in coming years.

I'd still have Gilbee ahead of Daniel tbh. Could be on my own, or the bias is showing. Was a massive Gilbee fan!

Good call, but give it a few years and Ed Richards might replace both, and Jamarra for Jake hopefully.
