B. Fred Goldsmith Rod Carter David Ackerley
HB. John Rantall Ron Glegg Dennis Carroll
C. Herb Matthews Greg Williams David Murphy
HF. Peter Bedford Laurie Nash Tony Morwood
F. Tony Lockett Bob Pratt Roy Cazaly
Fol. Barry Round Bob Skilton (C) Paul Kelly
Int. Graham Teasdale Jim Cleary Ricky Quade Mark Tandy
Emg. Barry Mitchell Gerard Healy Austin Robertson

[Jimmy C]

I like your list. Pretty safe and non-inflammatory.

I don't know why, but the only player I'm unsure about is Quade.

I've always that that Rhys-Jones could find a spot somewhere (or Mark Browning?).

I've never forgiven Barry Mitchell for that shepherd he put on Swans players (as a Carlton runner) a couple of seasons ago (the absolute treachery).

Who's yr Coach? Is PK the VC (that would be my suggestion)?

[robbieando]

Kelly of course is the vice-captain, However it wouldn't surprise me if the club names co captains. I think they want to have a captain who represents both eras of the club so Co Captains might be the go.

Jack Bissett as the coach only because of the fact he coached us to a flag and a Grand Final in the other years.

Rhys-Jones wasn't norminated

Vic Blecher and Mark Browning are unlucky

Still I'am about to make a change. Look below

Robbie,
I see you have included Austin Robertson. Is that senior
or junior as I think both played for Sth Melb?

[SWANSBEST]

Surely it would be SNR . Dad was a star while JNR was a good player

[tez]

Ok, Found it now, Robertson snr

[Foreign Legion]

Digging this thread up again - I thought I'd have a go...

FB Belcher Goldsmith Bayes

HB Browning Clegg Rantall

C Matthews Williams Caldwell

HF Morwood Nash Bedford

FF Kelly Pratt Lockett

Rucks Round Healy Skilton

Int Carroll, Carter, Graham, McLeish

Emerg Teasdale, O'Loughlin, Mortimer, Cresswell

Note: Nash and Clegg could swap positions and the Fullback position could go to Carter instead. I also reckon Graham could be the first Ruck.

An old South supporter has told me many times that Ron Clegg was the only players he has seen that was just about as good as "The Chimp"!

Cheers.
