Who are the non-negotiable selections in your side?
Leigh Mathews - best player of all time. Tough, skillful and great in two positions; rover and forward pocket.
Gary Buckenara- my personal favourite player. Took the big marks and kicked the big goals in the pressure moments.
Peter Knights - should have won two Brownlows. Glamour high-flying marker.
Michael Tuck- six premierships, record games holder. Probably could run out for us next year!
Dermott Brereton- a star from game one. Dominated the toughest position in the game.
Talk us through your selections for coach and captain.
John Kennedy Snr - must have been a handy player as well, but is a legend for his coaching exploits. First premiership coach, tough, uncompromsing on fitness and a great orator.
Leigh Matthews as captain - as mentioned above, best player of all time.
Which players from different eras are you most excited to see line-up in the same team?
My forward line would kick 50 goals a game!
Franklin and Buckenara on flanks, Brereton providing a target up the ground, Dunstall leading, Matthews crumbing and Huddo sitting in the square kicking double figures.
