I will answer the question in a reverse way.

Of our current players who would get a game in the 2006 team.

INS : Current team JK, McGovern, Shuey.
OUT : Circa 2006 Lynch, B Jones, Armstrong.

Our current team looks listless by comparison to the 06 version.

Gaff for braun. Although I suspect others would make way for braun. Darling would play instead of Hansen.

There are others like Selwood and jones and seaby who aren't clear cut. Midfield was the strength of that team by far.

Q was our leading goal kicker tbf. Bit harsh, Hansen makes way for JK.

You need to keep in mind players struggling currently would excel with the 2006 midfield. With that in mind...

You'd drop 2006 Brett Jones? Was an excellent player.


FB: Shannon Hurn, Darren Glass, David Wirrpanda
HB: Brett Jones, Adam Hunter, Beau Waters
C: Andrew Gaff, Ben Cousins, Andrew Embley
HF: Luke Shuey, Josh Kennedy, Daniel Chick
FF: Mark Le Cras, Jeremy McGovern, Nic Naitanui

R: Dean Cox, Chris Judd, Daniel Kerr

I: Sam Mitchell, Jack Darling, Sam Butler, Tyson Stenglein

OUT: Drew Banfield, Chad Fletcher, Michael Braun, Adam Selwood, Quinten Lynch, Rowan Jones, Steven Armstrong, Mark Seaby
IN: Shannon Hurn, Andrew Gaff, Luke Shuey, Josh Kennedy, Mark Le Cras, Jeremy McGovern, Nic Naitanui, Sam Mitchell, Jack Darling

A lot of those valuable role players in the '06 side (that underperformed in only winning 1 flag, though there were other distractions) could be upgraded with current players IMO.

Will get back to you when I have time to look properly at this . But Gaff over Mainy ? are you 16 ? That is so pathetic I feel sick!

Hunter in front of Jako ? Jaysus.
 
Jako Darling, I know Peter Matera won the Norm Smith but I have said this for the past 25 years, Evans turned that game for the Eagles, from about 10 minutes to half time. In general, not in the calibre of Matera, Judd, Cousins, Kerr et al, but would turn games when they had to be turned. Was known as a finals specialist.

Evans was great, especially in the biggest games, but the move of Heady to the guts (coming off a hammy no less) was the move that turned that GF. Roo got the Norm Smith for his outstanding finals series and his amazing goal tally in the game from a wing but Heady to the guts was a Malthouse master stroke in that game. :)
 
Judd with his speed, line breaking and goal kicking (together with his ability to win clearances) is the perfect current day player and exactly what we don't have (outside Shuey). He'd be the best of our past players to lift the current group IMO.

Jobby is definitely someone young fans should look up,hard as nails and could do the extraordinary

That post was comparing against the 2006 side, not all time eagles best side.

No one could block like Rowan Jones though.

Wow....that just...love it.
 
Um...wut.
Funny when he calls you out for "being 16" whilst showing the attention level of a 16yr old by not even following what was going on. :P

Our team has lacked leadership, fight, intent and balls for many seasons so you'd have to call up Worsfold, Cousins or Waters. All in form of course.
Even Coxy would help right now. Mcevoy destroyed us.
