AFL Geelong
1

Below is a team which I have put together off the top of my head, one which is not a bad side. Keep in mind that I am mot an expert on the AFL, particularlly in the last thirty years. It would be great if people could add to it to get up to 20-22 players if that is possible. I need a back pocket player and a wingman.

Backs

Oreilly Marlarkey

Half Backs

Corey White Marshall

Centres

       Featherby         Bairstow

Half forwards

MacNish Spinks Burns

Forwards

O’Connell Maloney Hall

Ruck

Farmer Peake Cousins

2

Maybe David Hart as back pocket and could Peter Matera fill the wing position :wink:

3

How far back do you want to go? What about Watts at FB and Malarkey BP.

4

Kirsten, Clarke, Harry Taylor all current at Geelong.

5

Stephen O’Reilly & Stephen Handley from SD.
Stephen Hooper from EP.
Alan Reid, Ray Sterrett & Jeff Cassidy from EF.

good one BH and thanks

7

Billy Walker Ken Bagley Garry Sidebottom

8

Cannot believe everyone has overlooked current - Mitch Duncan

Others Brett Spinks,

Billy Walker, Ken Bagley - are you sure

9

None of them played for Geelong.

10

Didnt realise they had to have played for Geelong. Garry Sidebottom however did.

11

Yes JB, it is a Geelong WA connection team.But you are right about Sidebottom.

12

Sheesh how did I forget Sidey :blush: one of my all time favourite Black Ducks.
Big Ramsay Bogunovich played a couple down at the cattery as did Matt Spencer from SD.
Tom Floyd who played at both SD & $U in the mid 80s also played at the Pussys!

13

I remember tom floyd coming over from SD in about 1984.

14

Derek Hall?

15

How many games did McNish play?

16

LS: MacNish played three and kicked a few goals. Thanks to everyone for their posts.

It a bloody good side, fielding three or four of the best aussi rules players ever seen.

17

Bearring in mind the above posts, I would make the following changes to the team

Watts goes into the back pocket
Taylor can replace White at CHB
Sidebottom can play CHF

I need someone to pick one wingman, either from today or the past. Thanks.

18

Play Ronnie Burns there.
Great full back line,Watts Malarkey and O’Rielly.

19

Anch: we could do that but then I would be looking for a half forward flanker. We need one extra player whom could play on either a wing or a half forward flank. It is a good back line.
