Adelaide: Tony Modra . Awesome to watch. I watched Crows games just to see this bloke jumping on peoples heads.

Brisbane Bears / Lions: Roger Merrett - You might think Essendon bias, but actually I just loved watching the big fella run around.

Carlton: Hmmm... Steve Silvagni. Although, I'm not sure its possible for me to have a player I like from the Blues.

Collingwood: Sav Rocca. The big fella scared me, but geez was fun to watch.

Essendon: James Hird. Next.

Fitzroy: Has to be Alastair Lynch.

Fremantle: Matthew Pavlich, tough to go past him.

Geelong: Big fan of Jimmy Bartel.

Gold Coast: Probably Gary Ablett Jr. Don't rate him as a leader, but bloody hell he can play.

GWS: The general Jon Patton.

Hawthorn: Pass.

Melbourne: Allen Jakovich.

North Melbourne: Tough one. John Longmire.

Port Adelaide: Has to be Wanganeen, and yes, full Essendon bias.

Richmond: Matthew Richardson in a canter.

St Kilda: Nick Riewoldt. Easily. EASILY.

South Melbourne / Sydney: I'd probably say Ted Richards.

West Coast Eagles: Ben Cousins.

Western Bulldogs / Footscray: Simon Atkins.

Couldn't get Darren Jarman or KHunter in. I needed to get Diesel in somewhere and I couldn't have him at Sydney due to Paul Kelly. Love Darren Jarman too but I'd have him behind both Dunstall and Hudson at Hawthorn and I loved watching Godra. I've liked a lot of Footscray players over the years with no real stand out so it was a chance to get Aker in who is in my starting 18 of the best players I've seen over 40+ years.

Gavin Brown and David Grant along with Tony Hall are three of the most courageous players I've ever seen in the air.
