Swap out Porps for Welsh for my list.
Rest I agree.

Gee, he was good...
Pathetic effort from dogs105. It was the most disgraceful post I’ve seen from him.
That’s pretty hard on an individual, but he’s going to have to live with that.

No love for Peter Caven? He was terrific when it mattered.
You can't be serious having these two in the 'Probables'.
They're not even 'Maybes' when we've got Sauce, Tippett, Walker, Welsh in the 'Maybes'
Also, where is Bock?

Mark Stevens was a bloody star.
Also, it's my list!! And I'm keeping it!
My best 22 has a "no dickheads policy". Simon Goodwin lucky to scrape in

I guess it's your list.
But for the record, Stevens' best two years (01-02) he kicked a combined 59 goals.
Tippett with 101 across 2009-10

Bock really only had the one good year ('08). He was a forward prior to that (and a very average one), and then his next two seasons were riddled with off-field incidents and injury.

If I were picking a best 22 to win a game, I wouldn't pick both Rehn and Jacobs.
I think Kurt Tippett is the better player as a forward/ruck. Toss up between him and Welsh, maybe could even play both along with Modra, Walker, Betts and Jarman who are obviously all locks.
Modra these days would be more a dynamic high-flying third tall

F*** being a 3rd tall on a guy like Mods, with the arm chop rules today he'd run amok

Thats mine picked
I might quibble on Sloane on a wing or even in the side but I am also struggling to find someone there. Tregenza didnt have the longevity and I think 150 games should be a good cut off point - which means Welsh might miss as well - maybe Liptak in that pocket?
Anthony Modra (Medium Forward)
Strengths - Overhead marking, goal kicking, set shot, x-factor
Weaknesses - Defensive pressure, ladies
Player Comparison - Mitch McGovern (if Mitch McGovern was one of the greatest of all time)
His judgement seems to be clouded by Stevens being a winner in a team of winners.
Hmm you may be right.
I went back and had a look at the stats, and was surprised that he kicked 29 goals in 07. When you look at his end to 06 and start of 07, it reads like he's a gun key forward. I really have no recollection of him being any good up forward at all.
I honestly thought he had at least 2-3 years at CHB for us. He was an amazing rebounding defender, used the ball very well, and could dominate an opponent. I remember him doing a number on Riewoldt.
Yeah my memory of Stevens was that he was an unfulfilled talent, injury prone, and requested his nickname be 'Turbo' instead of what everyone actually called him ('Sloth')
That backline tho....

And you have a point. I'm just remembering Stevo's best perhaps.
