Our best side

[dees_best]

After reading the 2003 MFC yearbook I was pleased to find an artilce on our new generation of players.

It highlighted the fact that we have a side with as good as depth of youngsters as that of rival clubs such as St Kilda,Fremantle,Geelong and Essendon.This has been significantly improved with the additions of Sylvia,McLean and Johnston and hopefully the recruitment of Houlihan.

I found it interesting to create a lineup of our best side of players under 25 IMO.This is it below:

B:Whelan-Nicholson-Rivers
HB:Heffernan-Ferguson-Bell
C:Bruce-Sylvia-Johnstone
HF:Houlihan-Smith-Robertson
F:Green-Miller-Armstrong
R:Jolly-McLean-Thompson
I:Jamar-Godfrey-Carroll-Hunter
EMERGENCIES:Fisher-Wheatley-Molan-Williams-Lamb-Broadbridge-Carson-C.Johnson

What are your thoughts of this side???

I encourage you to post your own sides below.

 

[lamby29]

B. Whelan Lamb Rivers
HB. Bell Ferguson Bruce
C. Armstrong Sylvia Johnstone
HF. Robertson Smith Johnson
F. Green Miller Heffernan
R. Jolly McLean Thompson
Int. Jamar Carroll Hunter Fisher

 

[Falconer02]

Where is Godfrey, was in your top5 players last year and the only player with a bit of heart in the middle.
