Discussion The Bad Boys Team of the Century

[Supercoach Bargain]

I'd remove Cousins entirely and put Carman in the middle.

Put Fabulous Phil near boundary line. Magic will happen.

My next door neighbor got flattened as an 18 Yo by Bluey Shelton in his first fame for St Kilda...went onto play in 1966 GF Team...said Shelton was a hard man.

Pat Kelly would get a run.

This week, I was given a guided tour of North Melbourne — the suburb — by Laurie (Dwyer) and former club secretary Ron Joseph. Some years ago, when I investigated the Bloodbath grand final of 1945, the most violent in the history of the game, a number of the players said the tough team of the day wasn't even playing. That was North Melbourne. I ask Laurie if that's true. "Oh, yes," he says. One of the names he and Ron then discuss is Pat Kelly. Kelly beat an Australian boxing champion. The fight was not in the ring. It was in a backstreet.

I know that this is going to sound as if I hate Wayne Carey but, when it comes to being bad on the field I would have Mal Brown playing ahead of him. Cousins is also a poor fit for this team, I agree with the poster who said replace him with Worsfold or Lewis.

Or Derm given its a CHF position.

Ditto to Whitten...he wasn't adverse to giving opposition youngsters a swirly in the Western Oval mud...

Given links to the Kelly Gang, that's not an unreasonable point.

No Tuddenham?
