I have chosen 16 because I suspect that will give us enough players to begin the voting process with at least 16 matchups. This will give us 5 rounds including the final H2H battle. But we will see how things are going and we can always start with more than 16 matchups if enough players are named.

J - a couple of thoughts...

1) 16 players will lead to 8 x H2H matchups and 4 rounds, no? (not 16 x H2H and 5 rounds)

2) Is is worth seeding them (based off votes)? Then you could run H2H with 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 etc. Subsequent rounds are highest seeds vs lowest seeds. That way you won't get Doull vs Sticks in the first round, knocking out a potential winner due to a matchup quirk....

you're welcome.....

 

[Robbo's my hero]

This is such a difficult task.

When I look back I see so many players worthy of selection that I almost want to break them up into different groups because of the individual talents that each brought to the team. You have your rocks like Big Nick, Bruce Doull and SOS. You have your impact players like Wayne Johnston and Brent Crosswell. Then you can start on the players who were freaks like Jezza and Kouta. Next to last you have those who personified courage under adversity like Ken Hunter and Garry Crane. And finally I can’t forget those whose individual skills like Robbo’s dropkicking and Swan’s marking which just left me astounded.

So I admire those having a crack at this. I think a limit of 16 doesn’t cover it for me. A top 100 is closer to the number I’d like to see. As we’ve got plenty of time at the moment why not?

 

[ferrisb]

Where’s Robbo?

Take a photo of the nearest street and I'll come pick you up and drop you home...
