Simply pick one player from each club to form a starting 18 lineup and put them in their respective positions. Treat it as an actual side, you want it good enough to run out on grand final day but not too old so that you'll fall over in 5 years.

FB: Eric Mackenzie (WCE) / Alex Rance (RICH) / Jimmy Webster (STK)
HB: Pearce Hanley (BRIS) / Daniel Talia (ADEL) / Dyson Heppell (ESS)
R: Todd Goldstein (NMK) / Gary Ablett (GCS) / Scott Pendlebury (COLL)
M: Nathan Fyfe (FREM) / Joel Selwood (GEEL) / Robbie Gray (PTA)
HF: Luke Parker (SYD) / Jesse Hogan (MELB) / Jake Stringer (WBD)
FF: Luke Breust (HAW) / Jeremy Cameron (GWS) / Troy Menzel (CARL)

Have at it.

(You may include a bench of double ups if you wish for team balance. I'd include Joe Daniher (ESS) to swing into the ruck when Goldy needs to rest, Brad Hill and Stephen Hill for outside run and Brodie Smith as another HBF.

Went for younger forward options ahead of Riewoldt who has probably 2 years left. Midfield is packed so left out Steven and wanted a promising young backman and Webster fits the bill from the Saints. Very accurate kick, tough and is showing good signs so I went with him, not sure if many watch Saints matches but when he's played he's been really good and I think he'll turn into a very damaging back flanker.

Surely from the swans you would pick buddy?
Parker is a beast but mids are largely replaceable. Buddy is a one in a kind player and the best forward in the game

Wanted 2 young gun forwards to set up the team for 11-14 years.
To go with Hogan and Cameron I needed one to be able to move into the ruck and selected Daniher for that (Buddy, Hogan and Cameron can't play ruck and I wouldn't leave it all up to Goldy without support. Was going to pick Franklin but I'll take Parker + Hogan ahead of whatever half forward Melbourne has (Howe?) + Franklin. Could re shuffle it more but this was my 1st draft haha.

Buddy will be at the Swans for the best part of the next decade surely you can build a team around that longevity! I nearly considered Fletcher as he'll be playing against Buddy until he's 50!
I omitted a 2nd ruck due to having no bench

That's fine? Lol. Planning team for the future and current, best up and coming pure CHF type and really a case that there aren't a whole lot of Melbourne players I'd take in any other position ahead of the other players I've selected. So I just went with Hogan.
 
Interesting challenge, here goes
B - Cale Hooker, Daniel Talia, Jeremy Howe
HB - Bryce Gibbs, Harry Taylor, Robert Murphy
C- Nat Fyfe, Calan Ward, Tom Rockliffe
Hf- Dusty Martin, Nick Riewolt, Robbie Gray
F- Luke Breust, Lance Franklin, Brent Harvey
R - Nic Natanui, Scott Pendelbury, Gary Ablett

Pretty happy with the side and have most players in there proper position.
