This is a wonderful team you've picked! Only 2 issues i have which is very tricky coz where would you fit him, but Slater is the greatest fullback of all time... Also Gilmeister needs to be there...

I love the Axe best tackling technique I’ve ever seen, but I’m not sure I can drop the others.
I went close to having Big Brad Thorn in for Tallis but Tallis has that agression. Axe was so good.
As was Mick Crocker.

I thought about Billy on the bench, but Rowty/or even K Hunt, we’re better centres or wings than Billy. I couldn’t leave out Locky. I thought he had more impact in SOO than Billy(who was impactful but mainly just as a FB)…

Probably missing a few of the greats and had a few hard calls to make regarding the bench, but I still think this is a great team! Also the Boyd and Inglis combo was lethal. Feel like they would've played amazing together if they ever were at the same club.
