    carroll roos browning
    murphy Williams maxfield
    morwood bayes Kelly
    micky o lockett wright
    Stafford healy Mitchell
    int goodes jude and craig Bolton kirk
    stiff hall okeefe jolly and mummy
    I didn't select B Round as he played more games with SMFC ,
    coach Roos ,Longmire and eade assistants

    N.Smith, Dunkley, C.Bolton
    Barry, Bayes, Kennelly
    Goodes, Diesel, Hanners
    O'Loughlin, Hall, Moorwood
    Franklin, Lockett, J.Bolton
    Round, Healy, Kelly
    Kennedy, McVeigh, Kirk, O'Keefe

    The club has been at its best for the last decade. Makes sense to have more of those players in.

    Reckon Carter was a much better fullback than Dunkley (IMO) Know we got him at the end of his career but reckon Roos was a better CHB than Bayes but you'd need Bayes in there somewhere

    Leaving Round out was my bad. Hard to argue about Nick Smith either, a massively under-rated player

    Roos was a star but ran around without an opponent for much of the second half of his career. Quite ironic, given how he coaches. I'd definitely say he was a better player than Bayes but Bayes did some great jobs on star CHFs when the club was at its lowest point. He played his whole career with us too which has to count for something.

    Carter was just before my time so I can't comment on him.

    Mummy in the ruck. When fully fit, he was better than Jolly.

    Andrew Schauble was a better full back than Dunkley, IMO. Pity he didn't hang around for a few more years.

    Dunkley being sold a little short here.

    If Bayes was around today, Jetta would have been playing as a small forward and Franklin would have been forced to retire from two years of chronic chest pain.

    If Bayes was around today he'd be playing for Hawhtorn. Rolls onto his left foot spears a pass 50 metres.

    My son's coach (in a grossly overrating moment) said there was a touch of the Mark Bayes about my son's kicking style. Didnt mean anything to him but i walked around with my head pretty high for a week.

    Agree with C.Bolton - would be the first picked in my back six. Gun.

    Jared Crouch >> Nick Smith? Crouch could break the lines as well as stop his man
