50+game All Star Team

[Cdog71]

Yep, it’s the Off-Season.
The 25 Greatest Footballers since 2000 thread (great write up) got me thinking.
Who would make an All star team if you have had to have played at least 50 games.
Some great footballers have missed out on mine and I’m sure some will disagree, but it’s just an opinion.
What’s yours?

B. Riddell. Lutkins
HB. Pearce(Vc) O’driscal. Kearney
C. Paxman. Conti. Hatchard
HF Phillips. Hore. Molloy
F. Staunton. Zanker

Foll. King
Garner
Anderson

Int. Randall(c),Birch, Marinoff, Harris,
Blackburn

Staunton ahead of Ponter, yep.
Just think she was too strong, fast and difficult to deal with. Got alotve goals in congestion.
Zanker, yep. It is mostly based on last season but it was probably the most dominant season from a 6footer so far and if that it is her level when she’s healthy and had a pre-season, she’s the best fwd by a lot.
Harris as back up Ruck/drift fwd, intimidation, Birch as an extra def, backline might be a little short. Marinoff and Blackburn self explanatory and Randall can play in either of the arcs.
Hatchard can run all day and doesn’t lose 1v1’s, Paxman a bit more def minded and can bring the ball fwd.
7 Captains in the Team but I’d give it to Randall with Daisy vc.
At her best I think Randall was the most respected and the most intimidating to play against.

A couple standouts wrt to club B&F finishes there...

King 0x Top 5. Other rucks: Moody 4 (incl. 2 wins), Pearce 4.

Zanker 0x Top 5. Other key fwds: Toogood 4 (incl. 1 win), Houghton 4, Brennan 3--all average more goals per game too (way more in Brennan's case).

Not quite as glaring: O'Driscoll 3x Top 5. Other defenders: Antonio 5 (incl. 1 win), Allan 5, Schleicher 4 (incl. 1 win), Stevens 3 (incl. 1 win).

It’s not just about accolades its what I like about how they play as well.
Moody was a great Ruck, probably the most combative and could easily be in that lineup or a different one.
I just don’t often see King beaten and never dominated, plays her role and wins her position week in week out.
My opinion.
Like I said with Zanker, I dont think any forward has had a season or played to a level like she did last year.
Brennan has never kicked more than 14 goals in a season and she needs alotve the 50 and nobody getting in her way.
The defenders are a mix of who can handle marking forwards, lockdown def and free wheelers running fwd.
I think that’s a great team.

This is just a bit of fun throwing together a really stacked team. If I did it again in a months time I’d probably have a different lineup
