A bit of AA style position manipulation there.
But that's only because there are only 20 EFC players who have racked up 200 games since 1966.
There are two players that are very lucky to have been selected to play alongside those other champions. Hint: they are the only ones not to have been in a Finals-winning (let alone Grand Final-winning) team.
Good idea, BMcV, but I, too, suspect that the "modern era" did not start in 1966, and regard the 200 games since then as a bit artificial.
There are bigger positional issues, but for heavens sake swap Foulds and Harvey.
You can certainly make a case for that, but my logic went like this:
- I only had the 20 players from the website that had 200 games or more so I tried to fashion a team.
- I was very happy with the forward line.
- I was very happy with the half forward line.
- I was very happy with the back line.
- I was happy with the interchange.
- I was happy with followers but I needed a true rover.
- I liked Misiti in the guts and Ken Fletcher was a true wingman.
- That left Vanders, Scotty, Harvey and Foulds.
- Vanders and Scotty had spent long spells at CHB, with Scotty winning a bnf there.
- Vanders maybe could have gone to the wing, or the bench with Hawker taking the wing and Harvey a HBF.
That leaves Foulds and Harvey, and as I was reminiscing with a bottle of red, I had fond memories of Harvey playing as a kid in the #38 on the wing in the 84 gf. In the same drunken moment, I had equally fond memories of Foulds' booming kicks out of the half back line at Windy Hill (and the crowd grunting as he kicked) so with two holes left, and two names to put in, that's how they fell! It wasn't rocket surgery.
