yep thinking the same thing myself... and would seriously hurt 95% of our current team...harder than nails and a fair dinkum animal in both GF's.

Would love to, but I couldn't even squeeze in b crouch!

I noticed some people had Jenkins ahead of Robran.

All I have to say to those people is, I hope you're enjoying school holidays.

If you're looking at the players as they were in 97, rather than the players they'd go on to become then Kane Johnson was head and sholders above Edwards and Goodwin in my opinion.
