Club Legend
Ablett Snr - went alright in the 1990s but would be even more damaging now - would start in centre for clearances then move to full forward like Dusty on steroids
Hird - see above, plus his elite aerobic capacity would make him even better in today's game at pushing forward on the rebound, without having to run into a bunch of set defenders
Dustin Fletcher - would be able to intercept, run and attack even more now than then. Would be one of the top 10 most valuable players in the league.
Craig Bradley - absolute endurance running machine, would be well-suited to the modern end-to-end basketball style
Brett Ratten - one of the first elite 2-way players. Was a tackling machine and clearance gun then, so would be valued even more highly now
Nicky Winmar - pace, elite finishing and kicking efficiency, good overhead. Would be impossible to matchup and would be one of the league leaders in score involvements.
Peter Matera - if coached strongly to apply tackling pressure would be a nightmare for opposition. Kicked 6 off a wing in a GF but would be even more damaging as a 2-way wingman now
Richo - was the best runner at the Tiges so would destroy teams now. The end-to-end style means that today Richmond kick quite a few of their goals running uncontested into the goal-square which would suit Richo's shocking kicking yips.
Kouta - would be like Cripps but even more athletic and would push forward and be like Jeremy Cameron (well, not quite as good a natural footballer and fwd)
Tony Lockett - lacks the running capacity, would be a liability against a rebounding full back
Justin Madden - too lumbering, doesn't offer enough around the ground
Greg Williams - all time great would be hurt a bit by modern game's pace. And he'd get rubbed out a lot
Darren Bewick - no defensive accountability, wouldn't get picked unless he changed his ways
Who you got?
