    Sen

    SEN in Melbourne are running a team of the last 30 years.
    Bob Skilton was ask to give his team, if you look at there website
    you will see his team. I think he might be still feeling the effects of the Eric Guy bump back in the 60's.

    Maybe reflects the fact that the current Swans team is the most successful of the past 30 years.

    I don't think the side is that bad, but Kennelly, Crouch and J.Bolton don't deserve to be there. They've been good, not great!

    I just don't think the talent in the current team is quite as widely spread as Skilton does. Without even trying too hard I would easily have Dunkley or Carter in the team and very possibly Capper.

    Yeah, I could fit Tilt in ahead of Leo, but not the others.

    Yeah i completely forgot Dunks, he was one of the best fullbacks IMO. Placing Leo ahead of him is criminal and Bayes? wtf!

    Where are some of Dunkley, Rantall, Wright, Evans, Carter, Browning, Teasdale, Schwass, Maxfield?

    Not to mention Ricky Quade, Gary Brice and David McLeish. Or Billy Picken?

    Or even Roosey himself?

    His inclusion would swing on whether you're looking at the best players of the past 30 years to pull on a red and white guernsey, or whether length of service at the club counts for something.

    I know little of the Swans pre-1995 but agree with those who suggest Dunks should be at FB ahead of Leapin'. Maybe Barry deserves a spot on a flank or the bench though.

    Mark Bayes did make our team of the century...albeit on the interchange bench...his place on the HBF was taken by Bill Faul who played a few more than 30 years ago..so Skilts is not far off the mark there
