how did Phil K miss out?

Not fair to suggest who Phil replaces,but he could fit in ahead of 2 on the bench,or get squeezed in as one more Interchange,…
Doc Aitken CHB or back flank?
Blackwell jnr and Richo on the half forward flank unlucky, too.
Very good,nay Great Lineup,even with Phil’s shock omission.
My 3 Favourites would be Jim Krakouer,Denis Marshall and Les McClements.
With all due respect
there is no way on this earthly realm
and 75% of the moon
that either Crabb or Jones is anywhere near Philip
but it’s Claremont’s call I guess after all

AJ played nearly 150 games for Claremont, club captain, state honours including captain, State of Origin, Claremont Leading Goal for 4 consecutive seasons and Sandover medalist. 80 games for Fremantle. Assist League coach for several seasons too.
Yeah no worries mate
Claremont’s call ultimately
but Phillip is in any team of the century I’ve witnessed personally
Neither of that two get close

I think you will always have players unlucky.
I would have the midfielders of the 90’s - Pyke, Evans, Green and then Richardson, Mitchell, K ahead of Bolton, Crabb and Jones. The former were premiership stars as well.

Phil Krakouer is as stiff as a honeymooner’s mate……not to be in that side ahead of at least a handful. In my time watching WAFL footy and footy in general (close to 50 years) there has been no more exciting duo than Jim & Phil together on the park. Phil played in an era where the WAFL was at its zenith and the VFL/AFL probably the same and he was a superstar in both. Not sure those chosen from this century could claim that in what is a far inferior WAFL & AFL!

Of course brother
He tore up every single WANFL side he played against at some point
He would have held numerous goals of the week in my memory and that is certain
I had to smile at Crabb and Jones
Thought Moss might be coach too given the reconstruction into a power after many years of barren time
Claremont however do have that right to select with respect

Listening to WAFL world, it seems Blackwell junior might have made it, not Blackwell senior. That sounds weird. Maybe I got it wrong.
