The best VFL/AFL team - last 50 years

Remove this Banner Ad

I think Akermanis is one of the most under-rated players of the last 30-40 years. Ok - that's only my opinion (correct though it be:D:D:D:D).

I think being a d!ck for a large part of his late- and post-career period has clouded some memories. Flower is a legendary, great player and fan favourite - but I think Aker may just be a better player.
It's a close call. Aker and Flower both make my top ten players seen. Dead right about Aker being underrated.
 
Walls and Parkin have created their best team of the last 50 years:

B Wanganeen SOS Scarlett
HB Doull Knights Enright
C Aka Mitchell Judd
HF Ablett Sr Caret Ablett Jr
FF Matthews Lockett Quinlan
R Madden Voss Barlett

I - R Hart, Blight, Jezza, Hawkins

I would make the following changes

Wanganeen out for me. McLeod or Chris Johnson in.
Aka out for Flower.
Mitchell out for Greg Williams.
Hawkins out for Greig or Dunstall.

I would try and find space for Mcleod and Wanganeen but if I could only have one then McLeod.
Would keep Aka in with Flower.
Hawkins definitely out for Greig - I would have Matera and Schimma ahead of Hawkins as well.
Dunstall definitely in.
And I cannot believe they went with Mitchell ahead of Williams, I thought I was seeing things. Mitchell is not in the same league as Diesel. The whole team loses all credibility because of that selection. But I guess it all comes down to me being a footy expert, Parkin and Walls are not.

an impressive line up

and it's even more impressive to think about what greats of the last 50 years didn't make it
