[Jabba73]

The 95 Premiership team or our team of the century would do me

Tough task. Great job but Big Nick has to be there. Not any question about that.

Dead right, can't believe I forgot about Big Nick

 

[Dont_Shoot_TheMessenger]

robert walls??????????

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Team of the century + Cripps...easy

 

[Robertio]

Tough task. Great job but Big Nick has to be there. Not any question about that.

No question at all.

 

[Arr0w]

John Nicholls??????????

No 1 ruck, every day of the week

 

[Passion Fingers]

I didn't really see Walls play, so didn't include him. My team is based on my lifetiime of seeing my beloved blues, late 70s to present. I should have added that in the title.

That makes sense and really its the only thing we can go by.

Much as I loved Harry Madden I think Fitzy gets the nod before him anyway even if Nicholls didnt exist.
Mike Fitzpatrick doesnt get the accolades he deserves. Great ruckman and enforcer in the Nicholls mould.

 

[Passion Fingers]

Agree Fitzy was my fav player as a kid, just thought Madden was the better tap ruckman, it's an interesting conversation

 

[HBF]

I'll have a crack at the best team of the players I have seen play. This obviously excludes quite a few.

Curly Austin Rhys Jones and Percy stiff too. Others will come to me. Its an impossible task I feel.

 

[Alice]

Take the dickhead factor out of the equation, Fev must be there. Goals per game he’s one of the all time greats.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Big Swannie McKay is in any side of the last 50 years.

Easily.

B: Southby Silvagni English
HB: Doull McKay Hunter
C: Bradley Cripps Kouta
HF: Johnston Kernahan Jesaulenko
F: Betts. Vallance Fevola

Rucks: Nichols, Williams, Judd
Inter: Bosustow, Motley, Rhys-Jones, Fitzpatrick

 

[Alphonse_]

Our Simmo has to be in there, even on the bench. He is the Greatest Blue of our sad 21st Century thus far (yes better than Juddy for longevity and loyalty reasoning) and I really dread the day he announces he is hanging up the boots, I will be crying my eyes out.

 

[Alphonse_]

2 more years and Cripps becomes our GOAT 21st Century player imo.

 

[Robertio]

B: Southby Silvagni English
HB: Doull McKay Hunter
C: Bradley Cripps Kouta
HF: Johnston Kernahan Jesaulenko
F: Betts. Vallance Fevola

Rucks: Nichols, Williams, Judd
Inter: Bosustow, Motley, Rhys-Jones, Fitzpatrick

Since you put an old one in Vallance which was a very good choice, you could have Brownlow winner John James in a back pocket ahead of English.

Int: McConville Harmes Simpson Keogh Ratten

Bloody unlucky: Southby Harmes Glascott Brown Crosswell Serge Naley Fitzpatrick Maclure Sheldon Swan & A.McKay Buckley

Buzz > Swan - not good enough in big games - would rather be running onto the G with Harmes than Buzz in a GF
English > Southby - simply has to play, sorry Des
McConville > Harmes - just not in the class of the others - Swan McKay the third tall forward

 

[Tushay]

Buzz overrated in these parts. Great to watch, but his consistency and volume of work just not on par with some of the others.

Fact is we could probably make up two complete teams of champions. I would want to squeeze Brent Crosswell in along with so many others.
Most of the listed team are relatively modern era too. None of us old enough to dig way back and no tv coverage.
