Pick 26
Phar Ace
Brownlow Medallist
Well I guess as _RT_ took Dick before Peter could - I better make a selection now as well
PICK 26
Now he is perhaps not the best player available (but he comes close), but I reckon Tommy Hafey would agree with me that in building a Premiership team you have got to have some very good big men and Tommy thought this one was so good - he talked him our of retirement for couple more premierships to add to the two he already had - that's is how good this bloke was!
After serving his apprenticeship under a man much smaller than him (Roy Wright), this player could easily play today based on his exquisite big man skills - he had them all! Have listen to what Richo says about this bloke......... it's worth your 2mins and 40sec (plus that 10s adv)

Coming Home Hero: Michael Green
Four-time Richmond premiership player and Tigers' Team of the Century member, Michael Green, will be the Club's inaugural 'Coming Home Hero'.
www.richmondfc.com.au
One of many prominent VFL footballers over the years to hail from with amateur club Old Xaverians, Mike Green, who crossed to Richmond in 1966, was a superb ruckman whose importance to the Tigers was emphasised by his selection in the club's official 'Team of the Century'. Awesome in the air, fluently mobile, and an excellent kick, he was the archetypal big game player who played an important role in Richmond premierships in 1969, 1973 and 1974, after having been 19th man in the 1967 flag win.
Had it not been for the demands of a law career, which caused him to retire temporarily in 1972, and permanently three years later, Mike Green might well have carved out a niche for himself among the game's bona fide all time greats. When he finally called it a day, aged 27, he had played a total of 146 VFL games and kicked 83 goals between 1966 and 1971, and from 1973 to 1975. Author - John Devaney
