To play a game 'tomorrow' The factors that make up the team would be up to you. Whether you favour short term form/performance or long term greatness would be up to you. The only thing I'd say is that said team would be a playing a mythical/fictional 22 comprised of equally great footballers so consider balance and naming a proper, cohesive 21 + sub would probably be best
FB: S. Thompson - E. MacKenzie - S. Hurn HB: N. Smith - H. Taylor - J. Bartel C: S. Pendlebury - J. Selwood - N. Fyfe HF: P. Dangerfield - N. Riewoldt - C. Rioli FF: C. Wingard - L. Franklin - J. Gunston R: A. Sandilands - J. Watson - G. Ablett IC: J. Kennedy - B. Smith - H. Bennell - S. Hill (SUB) Bennell might be a controversial one but I just think sometimes you need players capable of doing ridiculous things that give teammates a lift. Bennell is one of those. Plus I feel I'm kinda slow through the middle and he's capable of resting forward too along with most of the midfielders to allow Cyril/Danger to rotate through and inject some pace. Just think the x-factor is sometimes just needed, even in the best of teams. Second KPD was a real struggle to partner Taylor as well but I feel with MacKenzie I've covered every type of KPF I could encounter and am able to matchup well. I don't feel there's a standout rebounding SD in the league. It'd have been Enright a yr or two ago but between Hibberd, BSmith, Malceski, Hurn, Hanley and Shaw it's a real much of a much. Felt putting McVeigh there just to mop up wouldn't work as he's not near as good a defender as the rest. Hurn's defense is solid enough and he's got the best kick of the lot so while he mightn't be the best player there he's the best fit. Smith on the bench is another I like - has the height to play small or tall if needed and while it's a small sample of him being superb it's enough for me. Might be a little weak defensively but unlike most of the rest he offers not only elite footskills but very good run and high production and accumulation. I'd prefer the ball in his hand 25 times to Hurn 17 times, despite Hurn being the better kick.
