[Tarkyn_24]

Anyone that doesn’t have Toovey and McCreery first picked is simply wrong.

 

[South of the Yarra]

McGuane on the bench? Don't ever forget how good he was. A superstar. Must be in the starting 18

 

[Monco Matt]

I love these combined team challenges, they are often quite thought provoking and have you wrestling with your head & heart constantly.

Here is my Combined 1990-2010-2023 Premiership Team.

B:	Jeremy Howe	Ben Reid	Isaac Quaynor
HB:	Heath Shaw	Darcy Moore	Brayden Maynard
C:	Mick McGuane	Scott Pendlebury	Darren Millane
HF:	Nick Daicos	Travis Cloke	Alan Didak
F:	Peter Daicos	Gavin Brown	Steele Sidebottom
FOLL:	Darren Jolly	Jordan de Goey	Dane Swan
INT:	Leigh Brown	Graham Wright	Jack Crisp
	Bobby Hill
SUB:	Dale Thomas
COACH:	Craig McRae

Now before I give my "Honourable Mentions" I want to make it clear that this is my BEST TEAM and may not include club captains or B&F winners and other noticeable omissions. So, let me explain my rationale line by line.

B: & HB: - In defence I wanted a mix of lock down, intercept and run & carry. These 6 guys deliver all of this. IQ may be surprising but I think he has been our best small defender in my living memory.

C: & FOLL: - This is the midfield and on-ball brigade. Full of run, silk, toughness, creativity, power & goal scoring ability.

HF: & F: - Browny & Trav are our two best KPF targets. The rest provide magic & skill with deadly finishing.

INT: - Here I wanted versatility, run & x-factor. Leigh Brown is my WTF entry but if you think about it, he was the ultimate 2nd Ruck/Forward all teams should have.

SUB: - Well, Daisy would have made the Best 22 if he didn't turn coat off to the Scum, but he was such a magnificent player for us and absolutely deserves to be here.

Coach: - A flag in 2 years......what more can you say.

Honourable Mentions:

• Michael Christian
• Craig Kelly
• Scott Russell
• Tony Francis
• Damian Monkhorst
• Tony Shaw
• Nick Maxwell
• Josh Daicos
• Jamie Elliott

LMAO you can safely ignore me. I’m so used to suffering that now losing grand final sides are premiership teams to me

 

[Monco Matt]

L Brown ahead of A Rocca is bewildering. Rocca was both a better relief ruck and forward.

Sorry, I disagree. Leigh Brown had a much bigger tank and could run up and down the ground far better than Pebbles. Plus Brown actually played the dual position role where Pebbles played mostly as HF/FF.

Well I’m glad you disagree so I can tear your opinion apart without feeling foolish about forgetting the entire premise of the thread

All good Tark! I thought someone would tear apart my Leigh Brown selection but I thought I made a good argument for his inclusion, but still after only 4 minutes someone dared to question my sanity!!

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I will rescind my argument and admit that your selection has more merit than mine.

I now move to M Cox though

It is funny as I too thought of Pebbles as a premiership player. Same as Bucks, these guys just deserved to be. Maybe we should do a Combined Premiership and Close GF Loss Team of 1990-2002-2003-2010-2011-2018-2023. Now that would be tough! I'd find a place for Andy Krakouer in the forward line somehow, what a magician he was in 2011.

Easiest one of the lot. Tarkyn Lockyer x 22 plus McRae as coach

 

[ant22]

Gav Crosisca very underrated in this thread. Was a gun. Hard at it. Lovely kick. I’d have him in ahead of heater and iq(at this stage of his career) on par with Howe and Maynard.

This is closest to my side, I’m so glad you put in Shane Morwood, he gets overlooked by so many people. He was a gun defender and his use of the ball was elite.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Pretty good side mate

Thank you, Lord

I think Wright is more valuable off the field than on it

Very hard task! May need another tall in the backline (Reid) or another tall forward? The 1990 forward line was very short though.

This team would win four flags in a row.

 

[doppleganger]

A hard task, and most people tend to favour recent stars.

A good start is to consider our AAs from respective seasons.

1990

Peter Daicos (half forward flank)
Mick McGuane (interchange)
Darren Millane (wing)
Scott Russell (forward pocket)
Tony Shaw (centre, captain)
Graham Wright (wing)

2010

Alan Didak (half forward)
Harry O’Brien (half back flank)

And then you have guys like G.Brown, Maxwell, Cloke, Reid, Maynard, Sidebottom who also been AA level players.

My team

Maynard, B.Reid, Maxwell
H.O'Brien, Moore, G.Wright
Millane, T.Shaw, J.Daicos
P.Daicos, T.Cloke, A.Didak
S.Russell, G.Brown, S.Sidebottom
Monkey, D.Swan, N.Daicos

INT

Pendles, McGuane, DeGoey, J.Crisp, Morwood

 

[pz5151]

You should have to specify which Sidebottom and which Pendlebury you're picking. I'd say Pendlebury for 2010 despite his massive last quarter in 2023 but I would pick old Sidebottom over 2010 version.

 

[Hazz]

Heres a side of Pies from the era that didn't get to play in a premiership... who wins?

B. Leon Davis. Presti. Johnny Noble
HB. Burns. Tarrant. Clement
C: Wells. Bucks Lockyer
HF: Fraser. Rocca. Adams
F. Krak. Rocca. Medhurst

R. Grundy Treloar Licuria

Int: O'Bree Holland Stepho Langdon
SUB: Clarke

Nice work!

Jeez, at their best, you'd have to suggest the ones who missed out would win. At worst its a close run thing.

Otherwise perfect

Pendles, McGuane, DeGoey, J.Crisp, Morwood

Shane morwood was an absolute star
Daicos like skills on backline .. straight onto a half back flank

 

[doppleganger]

Yeah, Morwood was great and I put him on the bench.

I first put in players who had AA in the premiership year

Which gave

HB - H.O'Brien, Moore
C - Millane, T.Shaw, J.Daicos & G.Wright
Foll xxx, Swan, N.Daicos
HF P.Daicos, xxx, A.Didak

So I moved G.Wright to the HBF as cant have 3 wingmen, and J.Daicos getting BnF means he cant be moved.

I gave Maynard, 2nd BnF and AA team the year before, a starting backline position.

Maxwell my other pick, in 2010 BnF he was best outside our gun midfield and also was AA team the year before.

A hard job, but starting point being AAs and actual finishing positions in BnF hence why I went for Wright, Maynard and Harry over Morwood.

IMHO people massively under value Harry due to the later issues, 2010 he was a weapon and star HBF.

 

[Sea fog]

Not an easy task and we probably end up with some players out of positions like Wrighty as hbf.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Wrighty as recruitment guru is the right position
He fixed all of our past mistakes.
He is running this show.
