I don't enter those, because they are too limited - you can only pick from AFL players. I submitted the below team to a league, and they complained that they didn't have reliable stats for them:

FullBack: The prophet Mohammed - a dedicated player, who specialises in stopping the big men - they say that when a mountain's jogging to the goal square, mohammed will go the mountain.
Back Pocket: Mark "Chopper" Read - a shutdown specialist, who can really bury his opponents. Often out due to suspension, but when available will always be out there gunning for the opposition.
Back Pocket: Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson - an experienced player, and one of the generals of the defence. Is a superb stopper, but sometimes is too reluctant to leave his man and help out in other areas.

Centre-Half-Back: Godzilla - a terrifying prospect for any opposing CHF, his size and destructive ability are second to none. His main drawback is a poor free kick ratio, often giving away frees for claws in the back, or for eating his opponent.
Half-back-Flank: Sun Tzu - an intelligent player, who is instrumental in setting up play from the half-back line. Known for poor communication skills, with other players often confused as to what his cryptic on-field calls mean.
Half-back-Flank: Jackie Chan - a fast-moving, agile player, who has an incredibly wide variety of kicking techniques available. Sadly, is rather injury-prone, and his performance has gone downhill since his new personal trainer (a Mr Chris Tucker) started working with him.

Centreman: Gautama Buddha - a serene player who seems to float in and out of packs, he takes an old-fashioned approach to his position, rarely straying far from the exact middle of the ground. Some accuse him of being too static, and claim that he's so happy to drift out of games because he doesn't want the ball enough.
Wing: Alexander the Great - a brilliant player, who seems to cover more territory, and faster, than almost anyone else. He can suffer from fatigue from trying to control too much of the ground, and sometimes has to be subbed off early.
Wing: Mercury- possesses amazing, almost god-like speed. Lately, though, has suffered from a lack of belief.

Ruckman: King Kong - features exceptional height and strength, and is marginally smarter than the average ruckman.
Ruck-Rover: Robin Hood - a classically selfless player, who specialises in forcing turnovers, then giving the ball off. For no clear reason, always tries to give the ball to the teammate with the least touches. Has been known to ease off on his efforts once the game is won.
Rover: Attila the Hun - a fast-moving, vicious competitor, who's known for his aggression and ability to hurt opposition players. His presence alone sometimes makes opposition teams flood back and set up a "wall".

Centre-Half-Forward: Jesus Christ - A very balanced player, with an uncanny ability to keep his feet in wet weather. Immensely popular with the fans, but often criticised by people in the industry because he doesn't have good hands like most CHF's.
Half-Forward-Flank: St John the Evangelist - a dedicated, hard-working player, who plays a valuable supporting role to Jesus. Is prone to losing his head in difficult situations.
Half-Forward-Flank: Rev. Sun Myung Moon - a player who seeks to emulate Jesus, but doesn't seem to quite have what it takes. Critics say he's a fraud who doesn't deserve his spot, but many observers of the game are believers in his football abilities.

Full-Forward: Julius Caesar - a gifted player and on-field leader, who's always keen to roll the dice, and fancies himself to win any contest he can see.
Forward Pocket:Adolf Hitler - a keen little fellow, who's keen to take any chance he can get in opposition territory. Can run into trouble when he tries to take on five opponents at once, but usually puts up a good fight.
Forward Pocket: Indiana Jones - an adventurous forward, who seems able to get himself into (and out of) trouble in no time flat, but somehow always comes out on top.

Julius Caesar ahead of Plugger at full forward?

come on, plugger laid wast to 16 football teams...

julius Ceasar laid waste to africa, asia minor, the middle east and europe.

i just question the inclusion of Godzilla, i mean, he's big, he's strong, he swats jets out of the sky, but at the crunch, he always gets taken down.

and the khans > Huns really.

the started a land war in asia...and won.

You're on the ball, Dan - I was thinking of Genghis Khan when I wrote that. That's why I mentioned the wall.

Also, I meant John the Baptist, not John the evangelist, which would have made the 'losing his head' reference rather funnier.

Sorry to hijack the thread - see you during the season!
