WA backline too tall. Jackovich first choice CHB.
Vic bench. Only need one tall.

I think I’d stick with Rance or McPharlin over Jackovich. But there’s so many good WA talk back man hard to find a spot for the smalls.

Rance can quite easily play small/medium, definetely not a big lumbering tall.

All those sides are amazing, as you'd expect.

I was seriously confused about Silvagni in a pocket and no Dustin Fletcher with Jeremy Cameron somehow making the bench - then I worked it out.

I couldn’t make an argument for Cameron to be ranked at that level.

But there is a very legitimate argument between Silvagni and Scarlett

There’s arguments you can make either way but I would wager that he majority of footy fans over the last 35 years would say the two genuine top fullbacks grouped together are those two with the likes of Fletcher, Glass and Rance a step or two below

The WA side I’d be finding room for the likes of Worsfold, McKenna, Kemp, Sumich and Farmer

I would have Scarlett in that team, but spent a lot of his time as a back pocket, not taking the hardest option. Silvagni always played on the most dangerous forward. Dustin Fletcher split his time between the two, Archer a great CHB. T Stewart is not even qualified to carry their bags to the game.
And Jeremy Cameron in the team of the last 30 years? Give me a spell.

That’s a bit of a misnomer because of where Scarlett ended up. He spent a good 7-8 seasons blanking the #Opposition forward.

I do see your point as he played more loose than Silvagni towards the end but he was every bit a man on man fullback for most of his career

Biased but I'd sneak Wayne Carey into either the SA or Allies team.
Damn haha that was a mistake he’s allies chf for sure. N Reiwoldt to the flank Hawkins to the pocket and J Reiwoldt to the bench pushing I Smith out.

Archer CHB he was barely 6ft he’s not holding down the CHF on the other team, Stewart already 4 All Australians he’s a superstar.

Cameron will end up a 700 goal player and he’s very versatile with his running ability can play as a half forward wingman or deep forward, one of the best forwards of the modern time. Have a spell, hit the bench.

He may end up that way and we all know he is very elite but I don’t think he’s in that company yet
