All Time Fantasy Draft: AFL

[RiOtChEsS]

i reckon the sub rule will last. it has saved a lot of teams from being a man down and faced an extremely likely loss.
Except Essendon however who seem to get injured in pairs.... (dempsey, winderlich) (Prismall, colyer)

clearly its going to stay according to Adrian Anderson...

Now I realise Hulmie, pothead and the return haven't completed their squad of 22...

...but what's next?

and he is as big an idiot as Demetriou. They won't ever admit they make mistakes... Will go if the clubs don't endorse it though.

Added a poll which will end at 2 PM on the 6th. Well not exactly 2 but close enough :p

[Cookie Monster]

i reckon emg's and coaches, not 1 or the other.

[AFEV]

EMGs first though if we do coaches it will be the last drafting period :)

[c4v3m4n]

Can we begin if we get a majority vote? ;) :P

[AFEV]

I suppose we have that!
The Return was skipped and Hulmie and Pothead are skipped again I suppose it is Marcz.

[c4v3m4n]

My first choice will blow your mind.  8)

[CrowsFan]

Roger merrett

1935â€"39 Collingwood (VFL)76 (327)
1940â€"49 Williamstown (VFA) 141 (672) 
Not that impressive.
However...
His 1939 finals total of 23 goals was not bettered until Gary Ablett kicked 27 in the 1989 series. In the last home-and-away round against Richmond Todd brought up his 300th career goal, his 73 games equalled Bob Pratt's record for least games required to reach the milestone.

For his first three seasons he played at centre half forward but moved into the goalsquare when Coventry retired at the end of 1937. He had an immediate impact, kicking 102 goals in the 1938 home and away season before adding 18 more in the finals. In a game during the that season against Carlton Todd kicked 11.5 yet ended up on the losing team. His season tally was the highest in the league and Todd again topped the league in 1939, this time finishing with 121 goals.

When the VFA resumed competition in 1945, Todd moved to full-forward. He kicked a VFA-record 188 goals in the 1945 season, which remains a record today, and scored twenty in one match against Oakleigh.

Altogether for Williamstown, Todd played 141 matches for 672 goals, in the process playing in premiership sides in 1945 and 1949, by which time he was captain-coach.

Two. One for your last bench player (completing your 22), then another one for an 'emergency bench'.
