Eagles all time best 22

That's pretty damn good.

Although if I was picking a side to win me a GF, I'd swap Lecras for Evans, and Embley for Heady.

You’d swap out a Norm Smith Medal winner to win a GF?

I rate Heady a better player yes.

You can argue both.

Sure, just you specified it was to win a GF is all.

Fair enough. My comment was probably more in regards to Evans > Lecras.

Embley was great, more personal preference than anything else!

What is McGovern's role in that side?

He's not getting into the team as a ruckman or forward. And there are already 3 tall defenders.

I did ponder that, but his flexibility to go back and forward as a tall was what I thought seeing as Kennedy and Sumich are the only key forwards.

Probably one too many talls though as McIntosh was also capable of switching between the forward line and defence.

Nah, Woosha would approve.

Its a very good list, my issue in practice would be, who rotates through the middle to give the mids a break? You just have Evans. By my count, you have 6 genuine mids, 4 utilities that could run through the middle, and a couple of `in case of emergency,` type mids. Thats a little light imop, although you could rgue quality over quantity.

For mine, I would push Cousins forward, add Kemp in the middle. Move Heady to the bench, drop McGovern.

Who's your extra midfielder though?

Oops, I have 1 to many Kemps. I was thinking I was adding Kemp, not just moving him.

Still plenty of talls, and flexibility in the talls.
