HF Backs: Keane, Jess, Delideo
Centres: Bourke, Raines, Wood
HF Forwards: Northey, Hart, Bartlett
Forwards: D. Cloke, Roach, Richardson
Rucks: Lee, Rioli
Rover: Weightman

Interchange: Knights, B.Taylor, Barrett,

Not bad HK, although over the least 35 years, I am not sure I could get Bourke in on a wing.

And I am not sure Northey qualifies.

 

[Tigers of Old]

About right, unbelievably Cotchin would already be in my starting 21 probably at HF ahead of Northey.
I'd have Campbell at least as an emergency too. Hard to leave a 4 time Jack Dyer medal winner out.

Only others I can think who would go close but probably miss out are Broderick & Newman.

Northey or Barrott haven't played in the last 35 years . Billy Barrott left in 1972 or something like that . Even Royce just makes it as he retired in 1977 but on performances in those years who couldn't be picked because he was never fit . Make it 40 years ;D

Broderick and Campbell would definitely be in my team . Another player who at his best would be there for me is Mark Coughlan but injury makes it difficult to include him .

BT only played 40 or so games for us so I wouldn't pick him either

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

A team of the last 29 years would be interesting. Not a great deal of quality available in that side.

I don't know. You could put a side that looked good on paper based on the last 29 years. Very quickly, for example

Backs: A.Kellaway, D.Gaspar, M.Malthouse
HBF: J.Bowden, J.Jess, B.Deledio
Centre: D.Martin, M.Rioli, P.Broderick
HFF: L.Cameron, M.Richardson, N.Daffy
Forwards: J.Riewoldt, M.Roach, M.Mitchell
Ruck: M.Lee
Followers: D.Weightman, T.Cotchin

Interchange: W.Campbell, M.Knights, D.Cloke

Sub: D.Kellaway

Jack along with Cotch and Martin etc a tad to early in their careers.
No doubt they,ll be in the next decade,s side. ;D

Yeah, but Jack's got a Colman and All Australian cap, that's got to give him a jumper already.

Yep Brodders and Gale both played their last games in the Preliminary Final loss to Brisbane, so they just scrape in.
