It is not full of players from just one team which is fair enough considering the top 4 teams were within 2 premiership points of each other and the 5th and 6th a game behind.

I can think of a few I might include like Kreuzer or Oliver but I think its not bad.

Usually I have a lot more suggestions lol

The thing with the defense is Doch and Howe cannot defend a man. Howe should come out for Jetta (could have been Rampe), a proper defender who can play lock down. Yeo in defense is a bit suss, I heard he hasn't played that much down back and played his best in the midfield.

Midfield is good, no complaints.

Forwards are perfect, Robbie Gray shouldn't be VC, isn't good enough defensively.

Followers are perfect.

Two defenders on the I/C is a bit much, McGovern comes out for the best defensive mid, Sloane.

Crouch out for Josh Kennedy (Sydney) I think it's a pretty big omission, Kennedy has been absolutely rock solid, and Laird out for Sloane. I think Kennedy was the biggest Omission,

However, It's pretty spot on

That is an awful list. Any premiership side over the last 10 years (bar the Bulldogs and Hawthorn 08) would've destroyed it.
In a one off game without them training maybe, If that team trained together over the pre season it would win every quarter by 4 goals.

Yeo played his best at half back but got moved up midfield a fair bit because our midfield is shit.
