Bit harsh on Ashley McIntosh, he was a more than serviceable full back in the 90s.

Looks good to me.

Man I miss watching our second best back flanker Wirra play.

Yeah thats a pretty good list. My goodness we have had some champions play for this club over the years.
 
The player who turned the 92 GF for us, was a very important player for the club.
Evans was important for us in 92. However something different you get from being at tha game and for me, it was Heady's second half that changed the game for us. His intensity and passages of play that he impacted for me changed the course of 1992.

FB to Centre line basically writes itself, only debate is whether Glass or McIntosh is the Fullback and whether Kemp or Cousins is in the Centre. Forward line is much more interesting. Cousins is the greatest ever eagle, but he is a better half forward than Kemp or suchlike so he is there instead of the centre where he vs others is obviously much more even.

Would love another player on the bench who could be primarily a defender, moving into the middle. Team requires a second ruck as there is no real pinch hitter there though so Nic Nat is in over Banners.

Played off half back. Got about 22 pozzies. Solid game.

Ripping 1991 season. I loved old Prince Charles. Had a horrific accident too after footy didn't he. Got crushed literally.
