In 2005, the AFL released the Indigenous Team of the Century. 10 years have past from then, and there are certainly some players who deserve to be looked at inclusions for the team.
The 2005 team is as follows:
B:Chris Johnson Darryl White Bill Dempsey
HB:Gavin Wanganeen Adam Goodes Norm McDonald
C:Peter Matera Maurice Rioli Michael Long
HF:Nicky Winmar Stephen MichaelSyd Jackson
F:Chris LewisMichael O'Loughlin Jim Krakouer
Foll:Graham Farmer Andrew McLeod Barry Cable
Int:Michael McLean Byron Pickett Michael Graham
David Kantilla Ted Kilmurray Peter Burgoyne
Coach:Barry Cable
Not sure why they put 6 players on the interchange, but we will leave it as 6.
Possible inclusions into the side since 2005 include:
Shaun Burgoyne
Lance Franklin
Cyril Rioli
Chad Wingard
Steven Motlop
Stephen Hill
Chris Yarran
Lindsay Thomas
Patrick Ryder
Matthew Stokes
Eddie Betts
Michael Johnson
Danyle Pearce
Richard Tambling
Aaron Davey
Daniel Wells
Graham Johncock
Daniel Motlop
Leon Davis
David Wirrapunda
Now to include a player, unfortunately a player must be excluded from the already selected team.
I would probably replace Norm McDonald with Shaun Burgoyne.
Stephen Micheal with Lance Franklin
Maybe put Wirrpunda in for Lewis or Winmar
Its a tough gig selecting sides. Davis, Johncock could easy fit in.
By the end of their careers, Pearce, Wells, Thomas, Rioli, Betts could all be pushing for spots.
If they continue the way their first few seasons have been Wingard, Motlop, Hill will all be automatic inclusions.
What are other peoples thoughts on changes to this team.
