For me midfield is the easiest to pick. Three across the middle and two following. The five best mids to ever play for the club is pretty straight forward, Judd, Cousins, Kerr, Matera and Kemp.
The forward line is pretty easy also I reckon. JK and Sumich in the KPP spots are easy. Heady and...
Be interesting to see if Witherden will be good enough to force his way into the side. You think five spots are taken down back in Gov, Barrass, Hurn, Duggan and Sheppard.
So he's probably fighting for one spot with the likes of Jetta, Nelson, Cole, Rotham...
Two years straight we have shat the bed late in the season to end up 5th. The loss at home Hawthorn two years ago ruined our premiership defense then the inexcusable loss to the Dogs a few weeks ago again cost us top four and we are bundled out.
It's hard to put your finger on what exactly is...
Did anyone notice who our two best players were on the day? Gaff and Sheppard. Shep nearly broke himself in half in one way play and was probably lucky to avoid some broken ribs. He was throwing himself into spoils and Gaff had 37 touches and was everywhere, working his backside off.
We all...
Well five spots in midfield pick themselves anyways. So it's just one or two midfield spots on the bench that are contested.
Matera Kemp Kerr
Cox Judd Cousins
That is your centre line and your followers.
Priddis, Shuey, Yeo, Gaff, Embley, Fletcher, Braun fighting it out for spots on the...
Yeo is not the finished article yet. Having said that he has been AA which Shuey never has been.
To be honest, I dont think any of Gaff, Shuey or Yeo make an All Time Eagles side. Not yet anyways.
Fair enough, I was just asking your age to see if that was what was behind you leaving out Phil Matera. You obviously saw him play. So now I guess I cant help you. You have your opinion and that's fair enough.
But Phillip Matera absolutely walks into WCE's greatest ever team. Every 22 must...
I cant see anybody putting Priddis in a team over Kerr who is by far the more talented footballer. I love Priddis too but our midfield is too stacked despite him winning a Brownlow for him to sneak in.
Of course Fido doesnt dislodge Cousins. Cousins is our greatest ever player. You're just playing Cousins out of position.
Lewis is fine too, he makes my team. But Shuey in a forward pocket. When does he ever play forward pocket. You are claiming he can play multiple positions which isnt true...
You asked who Fido comes in for. Well you have two midfielders in forward spots. So Phillip Matera easily comes straight in for Shuey or Cousins.
Why do you have our greatest ever midfielder not in midfield? It's not an AA side where we are shoehorning in midfielders into forward and back...
Gaff, Yeo and Shuey will all push for a spot by the time their careers are done. But they would have to go extremely well to push into that side.
I mean who's midfield spot do they take? In my all time team I have Matera, Kerr and Embley across the middle and Cousins and Judd following. Then...
Fair call on pushing JK out to CHF and bringing in Sumich. I wouldnt drop Darling though. So I'll change it to Sumich in, Heady out. Sumich at FF, JK out to CHF and Darling in the half forward line.
Hurn over Woosh is an interesting one. Pure footballers then Hurn. But toughness, leadership and...
Disagree with that. I think McIntosh was probably a better overall footballer as he could go forward and kick goals. But an out and out FB. Its gotta be Glass.
With a raft of new Premiership heroes, I thought we could discuss if any of them force their way into the all time team. I tend to pick mainly from our premiership sides.
The 92/94 lads, then the 2006 class and now the 2018 boys. Of course you guys might favour some players who didnt play in a...
