We all have a mate called Jonno, perhaps yours complains that his has an 'h' in his name and is Johnno, or maybe even the more avant garde version of Jonny is the one you know. It might also just be Stan. I'll explain further. Over the last few years since discussing with Jonno our differences of opinion on who should be picked for the weekend, I've developed what I call the Fremantle Dockers 'Jonno's 22'. This is a collection of our players from over the years that imbue each of our own 'Jonno's' feelings towards the weekly team sheet. We all have one of these much loved, but also much maligned people in our lives.
You see Jonno, or Jumping Jonno as we sometimes call him over a few cold beverages, is one of these supporters that likes a battler. He likes a player who against the odds, manages to rack up first team games without a touch, go through dozens of long term injury rehabilitations and exhibit unfathomable potential. Criteria however, is not limited to these suitabilities. You'll see the pattern I'm sure. If you saw his DreamTeam this year then you'd also see this pattern continue.
In painstakingly compiling my 'Jonno's 22' list over three years of research and intensive work, I've ensured that all players are in a reasonably realistic position similar to that in which they played for us.

What would be your Jonno's 22?

I appreciate the efforts of all ex-Freo players (not including Jeff White), but Jimmy shouldn't have made 50, let alone 150+.
