Goodes - Best Indigenous 22

[BadSeed]

Adam Goodes best 22, Anyone see his team?

B - D.Wirrapunda Daryl White G.Wanganeen
HB - P.Burgoyne Chris Johnson Ashley McGrath
C - M.Long C. Bateman P.Matera
HF - Chris Lewis L.Franklin D.Headland
FF - Cyril Rioli M.O'Louglin Byron Picket
Followers - G.Farmer(Polly) S.Burgoyne A.McLeod

Interchange - Mark Williams, Winston Abraham, Shannon Motlop, Mathew Stokes.



Surely this is NOT the best 22... I can't believe some of the players who have made this team of Adam Goodes's, to leave himself out is already a major blight..

Anyone do a better team?

Syd Jackson, Maurice Rioli, Jim Krakour, Phil Krackour, Andrew Lovett, Leon Davis, Nicky Winmar, Aaron Davey and thats just a few odd the top of my head.

No problem with Chris Johnson but CHB ??????

Shannon Motlop ?????

 

[DockerA]

Jeff Farmer anyone???

 

[nonchalance]

Given he wrote the team, it's fair to assume he left himself out due to modesty, rather than forgetfulness.

 

[damochandler]

i hope this is a beat up

 

[Headless]

Shannon Motlop over Aaron Davey.

The following bolded players are the ones I believe should possibly not be in the team... I mean there are so many more players who could be included in front of them.

The younger guys such as Cyril, Ashley Mcgrath, Mark Williams, Mathew Stokes, it is way to early to consider these guys to be able to be in this team. Cyril is definately a quality player, but to be included already? Maby not.. Stokes being included, I would of had Phillip Matera over him as a forward pocket player to be included.

Where are players such as Maurice Rioli, Nicky Winmar, Barry Cable, Jim Krakouer, dare I say it.... Jeff Farmer, just to name a few... hell even Daniel Motlop over Shannon would be a better choice.

Ahh well, maby its also chosen on a "mates" status, or he felt bad if leaving certain players out, who knows. Just his opinion I guess, still some strange choices made.

 

[Hoops]

Don't think Mathew Stokes deserves a spot.

Steven Michael - first picked, everyone else after !!

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Stick to racking up 20 votes in half a season, Goodesy.

 

[Bollox]

He obviously didnt attend the Royce Hart school of modesty.

 

[Bennycoff]

Chance Bateman?

 

[unstable punt]

Jeff Farmer anyone???

and Aaron Davey, joke.

 

[ziad]

Steven Michael - first picked, everyone else after !!

Only if Barry Cable was already a selector. I hardly saw Farmer, agreed Michael was magnificent but Cable was sublime.

I don't mind Goodes modesty in leaving himself out. We could fit him in.

 

[Zeke]

Leon (and half a dozen others) very stiff if Stokes gets a guernsey.

 

[Damon_3388]

Shannon Motlop over Aaron Davey.

Shannon isn't even the best Motlop

I thought for a second that this might have just been a list of those he's played with or against, but then the inclusion of Polly Farmer blows that notion out of the water.

 

[J_Moore]

No Ranga Ediriwickrama?

 

[The Wrecker]

Jeff Farmer's ancestors must have upset Goodes' ancestors in a previous life.
Farmer circa 1998-2002 was the best indigenous player I've seen. Made McLeod look 3rd rate in one semi final kicking four on him in a quarter.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Shannon Motlop over Aaron Davey.

And Daniel over Davey

 

[rose jam]

Leon Davis > Cyril Rioli

 

[Max10]

No Ranga Ediriwickrama?

He's Sri Lankan not aboriginal

Shannon Motlop ?????

Yep you're spot on, heck I'd even have Gilbert McAdam before S Motlop.
