Where would you like to place him?

 

[Roylion]

Ian Aston on the wing? Played roughly 100 odd games in the late 50's.

Jim Atkinson. Fitzroy captain in the 20's. Perhaps on a half back line somwhere.

Couple from the 70s to go in the forward pockets - Geoff Austen and Rodney Appleton.

Oh, Jethro informs me he wants Abrahams on the half forward flank.
