I could only do one that covered my time as a footy follower 78-now.
A few of those were before my time. And some that should get a mention aren't in that SEN squad.
My side would be (best performances in a GF):
B: Harmes (Carl), Martyn (NM), Ayres (Haw)
HB: Rhys Jones (Carl), Knights (Haw), Archer (NM)
C: Matera (WC), Rioli (Rich), Blumfield (Ess)
HF: Daicos (Coll), Brereton (Haw), Hird (Ess)
F: Matthews (Haw), Ablett (Geel), Bartlett (Rich)
Ruck: Madden (Ess)
Rovers: Judd (WC), T Shaw (Coll)
Bench: Kernahan (Carl), P Baker (NM), Scott (Haw), L Baker (Ess)
Emergency: Barnard (Ess), Ashman (Carl), DiPierdomenico (Haw)

Good point. Brain failure in the GF dept.jimmyc1985 wrote:The players listed are those players who performed like stars in numerous Grand Finals. He only played in one (although he kicked 6, the Swans were rolled easily).Boyler_Room wrote:Lockett didn't make the cut as a full forward on the potential list?
It's an interesting exercise isn't it...how do you rate Blumfield ahead of Long given Long won Norm Smith in '93bombercol wrote:I could only do one that covered my time as a footy follower 78-now.

Boy, you've come up with a team that would almost be unbeatable.
Can't come up with an improvement without being the ultimate pedant.
What a team.
