To be honest, I think Ball gets a go ahead of Peckett.Saint Bev wrote:Your a hard man Goodie, Emg - Luke Ballgoodie wrote:FB Brett Voss Max Hudghton Matt Maguire

IMO, Frankie played his best footy in the mid-to-late 90s. Perhaps he could take Baker's place?
Hmm... not sure.
The Saints are coming!
Also if we want to get technical what about Nathan Burke's place in that side?
Undoubtedly in our team of the 1990's and team of the century, and an absolute champion, but he was very good in 2000, missed most of 2001 and 2002 with injuries, then lost a bit of form and retired in 03.
Did he do enough in the decade 2000-2009 to be ahead of Peckett, Ball etc.

Bit harsh putting him with the others. I squeezed him into my actual team. Thought he was a good honest player that every side needs.JT wrote:FB Ferguson Stone Delaney

Walton actually did some handy things, I recall him kicking 4 goals in a game at Geelong to seal a win for us (including 2 in the last). From memory, Buddha Hocking cleaned up Banger that day.
And I always liked Murray, thought he wasn't given a fair go after his first few games.
The Saints are coming!
Burke, Hayes, Baker, Thompson. All hardnut midfielders whose careers I rate ahead of Ball by varying margins.Saint Bev wrote:Your a hard man Goodie, Emg - Luke Ballgoodie wrote:FB Brett Voss Max Hudghton Matt Maguire

Bally fell just short. At his best he'll earn a spot, which I expect him to have done by the end of next year, but the years spent playing with injuries meant he hasn't earnt it yet in my book.
It was between him, Thompson and Powell for the last bench spot. A tough call, but I was always a fan of Thompson, and longevity won out.
Changes I could make at the end of next year:
In: Gardiner, Ball, Montagna, Gilbert
Out: Everitt (yay), Thompson, Peckett, Voss/Maguire

If you are serious you couldnt get rid of Spider for Gardiner. Yes Gardiner has done well but Spider was a very good player and could play forward as well. MG cannot do that.goodie wrote:Burke, Hayes, Baker, Thompson.

Powell's already an emergency, and I suspect Montagna will take Peckett's place on the wing. It'll pain me to drop Thommo, but at the end of the day I suspect Ball will be a better footballer.Saint Bev wrote:Now Goodie, you can't drop Thommo, have you forgotten I am a massive fan!

Spider was a very good player, but the main reason I gave him the gig was lack of competition. He left us three years into the 2000s, and I factor in baggage and loyalty. I'll happily replace him with Gardiner or King if they perform.

When did Timmy Elliot retire? Must have been late 90s 'cause he would have been a definite if he'd been playing in 2000!!JT wrote:FB Ferguson Stone Delaney
