Minimum 50 games qualification.

I think Geelong's is the best of all the teams. Especially considering players the calibre of duncan, sanderson, riccardi and mackie just to name a few who missed out but would be a walk up in almost every other team.

I tried to play everyone in position so the forward pockets are not at the same standard as the other positions but I don't like the idea of taking out the gun on ballers to cover those spots.

I've got a few adjustments, but not a bad list. Riccardi being left out in a 21st century list makes sense, as he was at the tail end of his career from 2000 onwards. Ronnie Burns and Stephen Motlop don't make it for mine, and neither does Ben Graham (you forgot Brad Ottens, haha). I'd also have Sel over Harley as Captain, too.

This would be mine:

B: Stewart, Scarlett, Harley (vc)
HB: Enright, Taylor, Milburn
C: Bartel, J. Kelly, Corey
FO: Ottens, Dangerfield, J. Selwood (C)
HF: Stevie J, Mooney, Ablett
F: Stokes, Hawkins, Chapman
INT: Ling, Blicavs, S. King, Mackie/Duncan

Riccardi in (he did play longer then burns and graham in the 21st century) to replace f**** blicavs. Ottens stiff although king was also pretty damn good. Duncan cant be too far away either.

Stokes and mackie just no. Stokes wasnt even good enough to play in the 2009 gf and his 2008 appearance is one of the all time shockers. Burns, riccardi and motlop are levels above stokes.
 
First of all, nice thread:thumbsu:

Amended to add Max Rooke ahead of Riccardi who only played in spurts in the 2000s otherwise he would be in for certain

Depends which Stokes we're talking about. Later career Stokes when he started going through the midfield was a lot better than earlier career Stokes playing as a goal sneak forward.

Not putting Brad Ottens in there must have been an oversight...please tell me it was?? I would have Podsiadly in front of Mooney at CHF

Egan was a gun. Power and quickness would have been Rance before Rance.

While I agree with your summation about Stokes' 2008 grand final, the reason he didn't play in 2009 was due to injury, not because he wasn't good enough.
 
B: Stewart Lonergan Scarlett
HB: Milburn Taylor Enright
C: Bartel J.Selwood Ricciardi
HF: Johnson Mooney Chapman
FF: Varcoe Hawkins Stokes
FOLL: Ottens Ablett Dangerfield
INT: King Corey Ling J.Kelly

Emg: Mackie Harley T.Kelly Duncan

Should have made it more obvious by naming Murdoch.

I rate Varcoe higher than others. 2009-11 he was a high quality player. Look up his goals+goal assist numbers over that time or watch some highlights of his ability to impact big moments during that three year period. Hugely underrated.

Prefer him over Motlop etc any day.

Mackie underrated around here.

Yeah he was the one I found hardest to leave out. Absolute gun over a long period of time. And underrated defensively imo, tended to get talked about more for his offensive game but rarely got beaten by whoever he was playing on.
