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

I'll try to create one using best 18 under 22 with one from each club. I used the best 22 under 22 formula the AFL uses. To be eligible for selection, players must be aged 22 or under for the entire AFL season (including finals).

B: Hartung (Haw), Lever (Ade), McDonald (NM)
HB: Yeo (WCE), Andrews (BL), Kolodjashnij (GCS)
C: L.Weller (Fre), Cripps (Carl), Ellis (Rich)
HF: Bontempelli (WBD), Hogan (Mel), Cockatoo (Cats)
F: Billings (St.K) Daniher (Ess) McCarthy (GWS)
R: Grundy (Col), Wines (Port), Heeney (Syd)
 
Not bad!

B: Wanganeen (P), Silvagni (C), Jakovich (WC)
HB: McLeod (A), Whitten senior (Fo), Fyfe (Fr)
C: Ablett junior (GC), Barassi (M), Stewart (St. K)
HF: Ablett senior (G), Carey (NM), Reynolds (E)
F: Matthews (H), Lockett (Sy), Bartlett (R)
R: S. Coventry (Coll), Bunton (Fi), Skilton (So)
Int: Park (U), West (WB), Voss (B), Ward (GWS)
Fyfe at half back? Could probably find someone better, or at least put him in a different position
Not a bad team tho :thumbsu:

Actually quite a good team, that could win a premiership within 5 years

was a fairly hard task as well. Teams like Hawks, Fremantle have nothing special so had to make do with Hartung in the back pocket and Weller on the wing. Teams like GWS, Brisbane, Melbourne and Dogs have multiple young guns who miss out. I tried to put in names that have played footy and not recent draftees.

I really wonder about these 'all time best' teams that don't have the best CHF of all time in them. I know Bartlett was a decent player, but Hart should be the clear choice from Richmond.

Not sure if you'd play Carey elsewhere or pick another from North.

The trick is the start with the weaker teams first. Find a space for their best player and once you get the the better teams it becomes easier because you have more players to choose from.

Based off last season's form and early this season. Sorry for putting Dangerfield on a flank but just had to have him in there. Clearly would play the role very well if he was in a side this good that had so many options in the centre.

Replace one of Rance or Houli with a Geelong player.

Not very balanced - gone a bit tall in the forward line and not sure Kouta belongs at CHB as such...

No ruckman or midfield? No swans, no north, no dees?

Err.... now I thought something didn't add up. This proves that posting when tired is a bad idea.

Although maybe now I can squeeze Carey into my oversized forward line as well?

Weird thing is that I had Kelly on my HFF for most of the time I was typing, but... um...

Edit: By the powers of 'players who should've quit while ahead', Turley is traded to Melbourne, allowing me to get a proper CHB and all problems are solved!
