#46 John Beckwith
#51 Don Williams

Your up again Headless

Edit: Included Don Williams in my team lineup after theseventhhampster pointed it out that i forgot to put him in

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Hell of a team you're planing if a team of the century guy is an emergency.

Fixed it, however you also raise a good point though, should we name three emergencies also?

I'm good with that.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I'm good with that.

Me too!

 

[Headless]

Well then. I have been targeting a player for a couple of rounds, and intended to take him here. But I had promised myself that if Baggott or Margitich dropped, I would select the other. Theseventhhamster took Baggott, so that leaves me with George Margitich. I will hope that my original player lasts until my next selection.

Great success! With this selection, I pick Noel McMahen.

Honours:

Captain - 1955-1956
Vice-captain - 1953-1954
Premiership Player - 1948, 1955, 1956
Grand Final team - 1954
Best and Fairest - 1951
Team of the Century member
150 Heroes selection
Victorian State player - 1952, 1954 (4 games)
Seconds Premiership Player 1949
Life Member - 1955

Selected on the half-back flank of the Team of the Century, McMahen played 175 games and kicked 28 goals. Don Williams - chosen on the other half-back flank of the team of the century - was my only other consideration at this pick, so darthsidusfan made this selection even easier for me. Playing in three premierships, two of which as captain, McMahen will slot in nicely to my side, taking the vice-captaincy off Stan Alves.

B: xxx - xxx - xxx
HB: Noel McMahen (vc) - xxx - xxx
C: Stan Alves - xxx - Frank 'Bluey' Adams
HF: xxx - xxx - xxx
F: xxx - George Margitich - Russell Robertson
R: Jim Stynes - xxx - Hassa Mann (c)
I/C: xxx - xxx - xxx - xxx

#4 Jim Stynes
#13 Hassa Mann
#20 Stan Alves
#29 Russell Robertson
#36 Frank 'Bluey' Adams
#45 George Margitich
#52 Noel McMahen

Theseventhhamster has the next selection.

EDIT: That was a lie about Williams being my only other consideration. Many were considered.

Fixed it, however you also raise a good point though, should we name three emergencies also?

I'm down like a brown clown in town with that, too; however, let's wait and see how we're feeling in ~100 picks' time.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

OK I said I'd pick a young guy and because I've seen this guy play live he counts. Plus he finishes off my team's spine. Didn't want to risk taking any later given fullback is IMO our weakest position historically. No accolades for him because he stuggled to string games together and played in an awesome era at his position. 150 games and 63 goals, great mustache and willing to jump on your head even in his defensive goalsquare. Attacking, courageous and could go forward and snag a goal. My first and favourite fullback of all time, the late, great Sean Wight.

The Irish giant and his Scottish mate. We all miss you both.

Time for some flankers and wingers, my team is as close to the opposite as darthsidusfan in both age and structure. Over to you Gysberts2Bate

 

[Headless]

Team Old Kents is my favourite team thus far, I think. Well selected.

 

[Supermercado]

Great success! With this selection, I pick Noel McMahen.

Get that keyboard tipping picture out again

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Team Old Kents is my favourite team thus far, I think. Well selected.

I really wanted the star positions covered, we'll see if I'm left picking Matt Jones and Nicholson to cover spots. I haven't really thought about what the later rounds will look like. I had a look at the Saints version of this and there were some bog ordinary guys getting gigs. Obviously we had some golden years so it won't be as bad but it will be interesting.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Now almost certain the guy I would have picked if I wasn't worried about filling fullback will be gone in the next 6. Currently praying to Allen Jakovich.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Now that the old time legends are pretty much out of the way I've had to dig up a new short list and it's brought out the fanboy in me. So many players I've loved watching on the list now.

 

[Headless]

Images of Gysberts2Bate going over his notes are just coming through:

Word is that Jackson, Woewodin, Williams, McMahon and Wight were his five preferences for this pick.

He liked your post but didn't make a pick.

He liked your post but didn't make a pick.

It makes me sick.

All this deliberation just to pick the player I was going to one spot later.

Proper draft etiquette if you're not sure of who to select next is to huddle around the table looking bemused for a few minutes then ask for an extension and go back to being bemused.

Give him Isaac Weetra.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Got to be a time limit before you get a random draw of Weetra, David C-C, Bode, Gillies

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Eek - post didn't work from my phone. Feel free to skip me Next time after a few hours.

Taking one of the few productive tall forwards left - Darren Bennett. 208 goals, 74 games.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

[Headless]

The only truly annoying thing was the eventual selection of Bennett, in whom I was interested!

From now on, I'm going to impose a twenty-four hour time limit for each selection. If that time passes, you will forfeit your selection until you're next online.

Does that sound okay to people?

 

[Supermercado]

With selection #55, Red Army Faction select player #1210 and one of the most underrated players of our last decent era. Does sod all for my midfield, but +100 game players are running out quickly.

Matthew Whelan (150 games, 15 goals)

Best First Year Player - 2000
Rising Star nominee - Round 15, 2000 vs Hawthorn
Life Member - 2009
