Haha, I do like picking teams and making lists but I can't think of enough NSW/ACT players to make one.

Kelly, Hird, Carey, the Daniher's are good starters.

No love for Riewoldt, arguably the best player in the comp!

 

[Bustling Barry]

Jack? lol.. , Nick left Tassie as a kid.. Depends on the criteria. But the Queenslanders can have Nick.. They'll need him!!

I know you support Richmond but Roach at FF and Hudson in the pocket.

FFS the coach would tell Roach to go get a kick on the wing or something and get the hell out of Hudsons way.

Ahh sorry, thought it was birthplace. My bad .

Yeah that was a late change (tongue in cheek) With that forward line I think there would be alot of blokes yelling "get out of my way"

P.S Do you want S.Taylor in the Ruck as well??? LOL

NSW/ACT

B: Craig Bolton - Anthony Daniher - Mark McViegh
HB: Dennis Carroll - Terry Daniher - Leo Barry
C: Ivor Warne-Smith - Paul Kelly - Shane Crawford
HF: Aaron Hamill - Wayne Carey - James Hird
F: John Longmire - Bill Mohr - Jarrod McViegh
R: Hamish McIntosh - Brett Kirk - Hayden Bunton

I: Lenny Hayes - Daniel Cross - Dean Soloman - Cameron Mooney

 

[Riggy1]

the criteria is where ever you spent most of your life between a specific age

I beleive 8-16 (to allow the criteria to work for u18 championships)

reason Goodes played for Victoria last year instead of the Dream Team, even though he considers himself a South Australian

 

[AG]

Good effort with NSW. I would have thought there would be bigger names from country NSW.

Also the century is only 9 years old so 'Team of all time' is probably better.

NSW/ACT

B: Craig Bolton - Anthony Daniher - Mark McViegh
HB: Dennis Carroll - Terry Daniher - Leo Barry
C: Ivor Warne-Smith - Paul Kelly - Shane Crawford
HF: Aaron Hamill - Wayne Carey - James Hird
F: John Longmire - Bill Mohr - Jarrod McViegh
R: Hamish McIntosh - Brett Kirk - Hayden Bunton

I: Lenny Hayes - Daniel Cross - Dean Soloman - Cameron Mooney

under current criteria Carey is a South Australian
but under the criteria for the 90s he would be with you, yes

 

[greatwhiteshark]

WA - Bloody hard this is.

Brad Hardie - Ashley Mcintosh - Gary Malarkey
Ken Hunter - Glen Jackovich - Guy Mckenna
Peter Matera - Maurice Rioli - Chris Mainwairing
Nicky Winmar - Ross Glendenning - Leon Baker
Barry Cable - Austin Robertson - Peter Sumich

Ruck - Polly Farmer - Stephen Michael - Ben Cousins

I/Change - Graham Moss, Brian Peake, Dean Kemp, Gary Buckenara

Coach - John Todd

F: John Longmire - Bill Mohr - Jarrod McViegh
R: Hamish McIntosh - Brett Kirk - Hayden Bunton

I: Lenny Hayes - Daniel Cross - Dean Soloman - Cameron Mooney

Really?

I'm not doubting Cross' current form nor his potential, but surely there's better candidates than him. Not 100% convinced about Soloman either.

Good effort I guess, I'd be shit at picking one of these.

People forget how good Billy Brownless was - ahead of at least 4 of this team. Most goals at the Gabba, most goals in a qualifying final, most goals wearing NO.16. Won a final after the siren, All Australian etc....

yeah mate i remembered brownless after i did it, would be in there for sure, even if he didnt play it would be good to have beers with him after the game

I'm not sure if Nash would qualify, was abut 12 before moving to Launceston and back in Victoria at around 16; or Lyon,I thought he moved at a very young age; but its good see Gorringe included and I certainly can't fault the rest. A few pretty good players miss out, the Febey boys, Ian Paton, etc.

Yeah Nash, Warne-Smith, Riewoldt and Lyon all pretty dodgy I'll admit, at least a couple of them probably don't qualify under strict SoO rules but whatever, I'm sure they're all proud Tasmanians at heart (from memory David Nietz was born on the north west coast too so you could add him in)

Nash and Warne-Smith are in the official team of the century though, for what it's worth.
