Brad Ottens?

 

[saintkildaman]

Brad Ottens?

Went for King because it was his team.
Also wanted to fit Gehrig in there but didn't work out.

Tom McDonald given his current form?

Still behind Lake, Talia and Gibson imo.

Could easily slot Ottens in ahead of Milburn.

Probably, but he and Gibson would be a close run thing.

Richards>Gibson

If you had glass and lake in the side, Gibson over Richards would be a no Brainer.

As a third tall, gibson offers way more.

Cam Mooney likes this thread.

Squad would include:

B: Matthew Scarlett, Corey Enright, Glenn Archer, John Blakey, Harry Taylor, Mick Martyn, David King, Andrew Mackie, Matthew Egan, Martin Pike, Byron Pickett, Darren Milburn, Tom Harley

R: Brad Ottens, Corey McKernan, Steven King

F: Wayne Carey, John Longmire, Cam Mooney, Brent Harvey, Shannon Grant, Paul Chapman, Steve Johnson, Tom Hawkins

M: Gary Ablett, Joel Corey, Joel Selwood, Jimmy Bartel, James Kelly, Cameron Ling, Adam Simpson, Peter Bell, Anthony Stevens, Garry Hocking

Left out players who were serviceable like Riccardi, Graham, Sanderson, Rooke, Wojo, Abraham, Sholl...

Would be very hard to pick 22. About 16 pick themselves but there's nothing between 17-25 or so.

My crack:
B: Matthew Scarlett, Mick Martyn, Glenn Archer
HB: Corey Enright, Harry Taylor, David King
C: Joel Corey, Gary Ablett, Adam Simpson
HF: Shannon Grant, Wayne Carey, Paul Chapman
F: Steve Johnson, John Longmire, Corey McKernan
Foll: Brad Ottens, Garry Hocking, Peter Bell
Bench: Jimmy Bartel, Joel Selwood, Brent Harvey, Anthony Stevens
Sub (23 man team): Cam Mooney

Couldn't fit him in otherwise...Kelly, Blakey, Ling, S.King all left out

 

[Hollow Knight]

Blake Caracella

B: J. Clement, D. Fletcher, C. Johnson
HB: G. Wanganeen, J. Leppitsch, N. Lappin
C: J. Hird, M. Voss, N. Buckley
HF: J. Akermanis, J. Brown, T. Watson
F: S. Lucas, M. Lloyd, A. Didak

OB: P. Salmon, S. Black, S. Pendlebury

INT: D. Swan, M. Long, C. Keating, A. Lynch


Good balance on every line I reckon. Tough, skillful and plenty of x-factor.

7 individual Brownlow winners, 4 Coleman medals.

Every single one of them has grand final experience, and 20/22 have premiership medals.
