I have given everyone the ability to vote 3 times in this poll, and I am really curious about what the answers will be.

2009, but replace Leon Davis and Nick Maxwell with good footballers.

2007 is a weird one as I feel like it is just missing that top top quality midfielders as yes Ablett was there but in 2007 he was not the player he would become, and the forward line, while very good, is not scary good like a couple of the other AA teams.

2007 would be improved by removing Egan and having just two key backs, then adding the prolific rebounding Peter Burgoyne (excellent in that role that season).

Then it would probably be better balanced to swap Mooney for Chapman as another genuine forward/mid (22 disposals and 2.3 goals/assists a game). 4 excellent smalls/mediums alongside Brown in arguably his best year and then Pavlich would be a pretty potent forward line.

Goodes or Judd were still good enough that year to come in for Fletcher.

Make those changes and it's up there with many of the Cats players best ever seasons.

2018 feels like it is a little weak in the midfield though, at least compared to other AA teams.

Yes, but the backline and forward lines are supreme. Both at least top 2 compared to the rest. It also has the best ruck combo the game as seen really with prime Gawn and Grundy.

I would say 2008 comes second.
