Richo would, but he's the only one, maybe Shaun Hampson will make both teams.
Richo made it at 23 and stays in it at 33.
If Deledio holds his form for another 3+ years you could mount a decent case that he replaces Matthew Knights on the bench.
Which current players would make their club's all time best 22 ?

Was going to say Deledio as well. Glad he got mentioned. Versatile and durable player.

Would Robert Murphy be a show? Haven't personally followed him closely enough to say, but he has the longevity and always seemed versatile /skillful.

For us, Swan and Pendlebury, perhaps.

From an outsiders view I would rate knights above deledio
Having seen both their careers in their entirety, I'd have Knights ahead at the same stage (27yo). Knights slowed down a little in his last 3-4 years. Quite different types - creative playmaker versus athletic utility. It'd be a subjective call, but there isn't a lot between them.

Remember last round 1997 , Carlton just need to win to play finals and are doing it easy to half time
Second half knights turned the game and gave Andrew McKay the biggest bath in his career , not a great day for blues but had to acknowledge knights brilliance !!

Possibly, I'd have to check our Team of the Century to see who'd he'd replace. Good suggestion though.

I think he would probably get in for Buckenara, but it's far from overwhelming, would be the 6th forward picked in that team which is kind of remarkable.
deflated
Team Captain
And you could make a good case for Laurie Nash ahead of those two. Buddy will need several more excellent seasons for the Swans before he's even in the discussion for a key forward position.
Maybe, but you could raise a pretty reasonable arguement that Platten shouldn't be in the forward pocket

Agree plattern was a first rover , buckenara a HF that could easily play deeper in the pocket

Sure, but Platten has to be in the team somewhere - they went with Matthews on the ball and Platten in a pocket, kind of how footy used to be played. You could quite easily swap those two 'starting positions', Matthews is number 2 on our all-time goal kicking list, it's just that he was freak on the ball too and rightly or wrongly there is a certain amount prestige (or lack of) with some positions.
Not sure Jones would be in Melbourne's. He's good but unlike the last 10 or so years, Melbourne have had teams in the past that weren't totally incompetant
Not much argument here.
Nathan Jones may enter discussions for a bench spot if he continues his career on the same trajectory.
Melbourne FC have one of the harder 'team of the centuries' to break into at the best of times anyway - let alone at the moment lol.

Ryan O'Keefe and Jude Bolton (retired last year) would come under serious consideration for my all time best South Melbourne/Sydney team, Jarrad McVeigh possibly as well
Cloke? Wow. Surely not close to anyone's TOTC
