Very happy with this side to be honest. I think the forward line is right up there with any team with a lot of different kinds of forwards who would be hard to stop. Defence has two high quality key defenders in Taylor and Richards and a very good player in LRT to take on a teams 3rd tall. Also love having Rich and Murphy as my half backs as I think there is a lot of class there to setup attacks from defence.
My midfield I focused on kicking skills and grunt. Every one of my midfielders is either an elite kick or a player with a tonne of grunt. I think Dawson, Kelly and Daicos kicking to the forward line would be hard to stop. I also think Oliver, Jones and Cunnington would at the very worst neutralise any other team in the clearances.

WCE final team
I really wanted my final team to have a strong focus on winning clearances, skills, kicking in particular and versatility.
I think I nailed it with my draft.
Yes, I with some controversy, I took Reid and Darcy early given they're still very Young. Both of them by position look to be generational talents for mine so I was happy to do it.
Starting with the forward line, I've got an amazing mix of goal kicking power. Kennedy I think is the best FF since the velvet sledgehammer. I am a bit bias as he was also my favourite player but his stats stack up against anyone from the modern era. Everyone here knows how good he is.
Lecras is all class, has x-factor, can play taller than his height and was good for two goals a game. Given he can play on ball for spurts too, that's even more amazing.
Garlett brings the pressure, is lightning fast, a ferocious tackler and also good for close to two goals a game.
Darcy is my 6'10" CHF. An excellent contest mark, very agile for someone his size and is only going to get better.
Throw Westhoff drifting down from the wing into the mix along with the pure class, skill and pressure of Bolton and Zorko and that is one hell of a dangerous mix. Good luck defending that!
On ball, I have the most dominant hit out to advantage Ruck I have ever seen. This was really important to me for my structure as I wanted my midfield crew to be able to set-up offensively from the beginning....Dangerfield and Reid receiving silver service all day would be almost impossible to contain. They're both so explosive and goal kicking clearance machines.
Should the contest get halved, I then have two absolute animals in Libba and Rowell to contend with. The bash brothers would be a bloody nightmare for oppo teams. Both are excellent tacklers too.
Montagna is a ball pig for a wing and will just keep relentlessly running all day. Also an excellent tackler and Westhoff who I already touch on in my 6'6" wing with excellent endurance who'll be floating back and forward all day taking crucial marks.
My back half speaks for itself - I set it up with some of the best rebounding players the game has ever seen in Shaw and Ryan. Ryan is also able to play much taller and is an excellent defender. Stiffy with some X-factor and highly skilled is also a very good small forward.
Hudghton is an excellent shut down defender.
Of the regular fullbacks in 2006, Hudghton conceded fewest goals. Hudghton's disposal efficiency of 90% was elite. With only 32 marks from opposition kicks in the past years (06-08), he prefers to spoil and I wanted a true defensive player to balance out my other back-line talls
Hudghton regularly shut down key players such as Matthew Lloyd, Warren Tredrea, Russell Robertson, Brendan Fevola, Barry Hall and Lance Franklin in the home and away season. Hudghton one of the lowest GA averages of any tall defender playing in that era.
Fun fact - He also appeared on the Weakest Link sports edition and got voted out in round two.
Harry Taylor is arguably the best CHB of the modern era and Barrass is a rock solid FB capable of matching it with anyone.
Long story short, that back-line can not only lock down and mark everything, it also has offensive weapons capable of a lot of drive.

West Coast have a bit of an advantage in the ruck but I love imagining this game actually happening.

That would be awesome to see for sure!!!
If anyone was going to nullify Sandi HTA, it'd be Witts too who is a giant in is own right.

Yep - I'd go Hudghton on Fritsch and probably Stiffy on Milne.
It is why I picked Witts actually as by the time I picked Witts most of the ruckmen who are great around the ground were gone but Witts, while not excellent around the ground like a Cox or Gawn was/is a very good tap ruckman, so he could go toe to toe with Cox, Gawn or Sandilands with the actual taps, and I was banking on my clearance players beating the clearance players of other teams.

It's a good plan mate...Not dissimilar with how I approached my structure actually as I really wanted HTA and failing that, clearance beasts with a lot of skill on the outside.

Matt Rowell with a lazy 20 contested possessions (32 total) and 7 tackles.
Sam Flanders with 22 and 2 goals
My boy Harley was quiet but for a kid in his first year, being tagged and constantly targeted/wrestled, I'm not surprised he's running out of puff near seasons end.
Still pretty damn good though.
My man Darcy is getting ready to put on a show too

ChatGPT had a go at simming a season (Which we know throw weird shit out but fun none the less)
This simulation provides a snapshot of how these teams might fare over a season, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that influence their performance.
To simulate a full season of matches between these teams, we’ll use a structured approach to estimate performance based on team composition, player statistics, and strengths and weaknesses. Each team will play against every other team once, resulting in a 27-game season for each team. The results will be generated based on player effectiveness and team synergies.

Further proof that it's crap.
Hahaha I really like it.
Thanks to everyone for organizing this and it was a lot of fun.
Happy with my team lacking the firepower of others up forward in terms of big forwards happy with Daniher Oloughlin and Waite to provide enough of a contest to bring in some of my elite smaller players. No lack of leading options as well if we can play with pace off the backline.
Happiest with the following picks
Nathan G Brown and Didak- These two are perfect forward midfield rotations in there prime were pure match winners.
Scarlett Rance and Clement- Can not score against these 3 fit perfectly together.
