Opinion Best AFC squad you can make from your favourite SANFL team

[adelaidecrows]

Saw this thread earlier and wanted to do the Port team when I got home, pretty much nailed it.

Although I don't think Eugene Warrior played a game for us.

Reckon this side would beat a side that of Port Power players who played for the Magpies.

How good is this side? I would go and watch this side play.

 

[JP Sauce]

The mighty Roosters have actually given us a few absolute gems.

FB: B. Hart P. Davis S.Tasker
HB: J. Mail S. Wellman M. Collins
C: T. Cook A. Jarman B. Atkinson
HF: C. Ladhams W. Carey N. Gill
FF: D. Hart L. Johnston M. Wright
Ruck: B. Hudson D. Jarman A. Saliba

It has its weaknesses, but I'd still love to see this side in action

Note also that Adam Saliba is hands down the most talented player never to make it. Damn he was good.

Very similar to my team, but I completely forget about Mail and Saliba.

I reckon you could probably find a spot for Rory Sloane in your team too.

Obviously the first back pocket choice was a bit rough, although I do have a soft spot for Gallman.

B: Greg Gallman | Phil Davis | Sean Tasker
HB: Ben Hart | Sean Wellman | Tim Cook
C: Rory Sloane | Darren Jarman | Brodie Atkinson
HF: Matt Wright | Wayne Carey | Nick Gill
FF: Ian Perrie | Lewis Johnston | Chris Ladhams
R: Ben Hudson | Andrew Jarman | Darel Hart

I honestly thought Matt Golding would have made it.

Sorry to show my age but.....
My favourite SANFL team was Sturt in the 70's.
Would have loved to see Bagshaw, The flash, The Jumbo Prince, Motley eligible to play for the crows

 

[Miss Vanessa]

Was a few years ahead of him at school, lets just say he was fond of the local herbs

I recall that he certainly had a whole bunch of off-field issues...

Ha! Yeah. He'd probably get a run. I can't even recall that he was aligned with us... How many games did he play as a youngster?

And forgot about Perrie too. Gallman never actually played for the Crows though, did he? Otherwise, I'd have Trevor Clisby off a half back flank too. Wasn't he in the inaugural squad?

 

[Allefgib]

did you miss jericho in there, makes that side null and void

If he plays ff... tex mattie and lewie just kicem from 50m

Haha Carey. I love it.

Good plan, though it's just hard to comprehend a world where he makes a best of side.
Doesn't he play for the Eagles now?
Could he feature in two best of sides eeek!

 

[plugger59]

Then you're in a bit of Poe

Sheer brilliance!

Seen perrie in 3 different teams now? Who did he actually play for apart from South?

Mini-drafted to South, transferred to North Adelaide, then signed for Sturt after being delisted by us.

Where's Bernie?

It is pretty amusing that there are a three clubs all scrambling for his signature.

 

[Deaneus!]

Never played for Woodville.

The Hybrids will have a good one:

FB: W Weidemann K McGregor L Thompson

FF: B Lindsay M Stevens S Welsh
1R: S Jacobs B Vince C Knights

EMG: J Jacky F Watts N Pesch M Kluzek

That's a pretty handy spine. How did Jacky get a spot on the emergencies? Surely big Romano Negri gets a run before him!

All time number 1 player for me. The other 3 do allright as well

I'm a Norwood man so I'd say John Whynne.

So are we talkin Bruce Lindsay pre knee or post ?

 

[Kickin Goals]

Righto folks - here's a bit of a different idea I don't think I've seen before (I give it 15 minutes for someone to prove me wrong).

Make the best squad you can of AFC listed players for your favourite SANFL side.

A player that has been listed for the AFC and played at least one game for an SANFL side counts.

My team growing up was the Bloods. Here is a very quick effort off the top of my head (appreciate any input from others!)

B: Rory Laird | Ben Rutten | Tyson Edwards
HB: Chris Schmidt | Paul Patterson | Andrew Crowell
C: Grantley Fielke | Mark Ricciuto | Matthew Connell
HF: Bruce Lindner | Kurt Tippett | Scott Welsh
FF: Jason Porplyzia | Tony Modra | Eddie Hocking
R: Shaun Rehn | Patrick Dangerfield | Brad Crouch
Interchange: Adam Richardson | Mark Mickan | Clayton Lamb | Brent Williams

Beat that side...

Love your work, Go The Mighty Blood Crows no one would get near us!

West the winner for me. Half Back line looks a little weak, but every other line is legit.

I remember Hargraves kicked 13 once, most of them on Perrie who found his way to full back for the game.
