The 21st Sheep:
Wally Buttsworth

Wally Buttsworth was a fantastic defender, named in both the EFC Team Of The Century & WA Team Of The Century Wally was a key figure in the Dons' dominance throughout the 40s, he played in 6 grand finals with the Bombers and won 2, dominating in all of them he certainly thrived on the big stage, his best games came in finals.
His ferocity & hatred of defeat combined with his superior aerial skills and silky disposal made him somewhat a lethal weapon coming out of the backline, winning 3 B&Fs with the Bombers (no mean feat given the quality of the team) and 1 with West Perth.
He also performed well for his home state (WA) on numerous occasions, showing that he could match and defeat the best forwards of the time.

hard to deny how great he is, unlucky to find himself on the bench to be honest.

[AFEV]

The last man picked for me...:
Paul Bagshaw

One of the silkiest and freakiest players ever to play the game. He played a mammoth 378 games, played in 7 premierships, 14 State Rep Matches, won 5 B&Fs (remarkable given their dominance!)and even won the clubs goalkicking award in '78.
His calmness under pressure and ability to get out of bad situations will see him be forever remembered as 'Mr. Magic.'

A true great of SA football, Bagshaw was the dominant rover in the SANFL during a large portion of his career and could even swing forward and kick a bag if it was required of him as is shown by his 74 goal haul in 1978.

His versatility and X-Factor should prove vital, he and Oliver certainly add something exciting to the team.

He was even made a member of the Order of the British Empire for his contributions to football!

Since you stole my last pick in Bagshaw...maybe.  :P

What about an emergency list as well of say three players?

We could do that.

As I said earlier you can't just 'pick' one of your players to coach or those who picked coaches as players have a huge advantage.
If we do that I might as well pick Dolan as my first EMG! Or Matson.

[Cookie Monster]

true, yeah thats fair enough.

Im all for picking coaches, though it would look a little cluttered if for example BOOMZ also selected Paul Roos to be his coach. He'd have two Paul Roos in his team! Or if Cookie Monster also picked Kevin Sheedy.
